Breakfast Against Trade With Israel
Join defendants at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court (Near Uxbridge Tube) for breakfast on the first
day of their trial and support the campaign to sever military, economic,
cultural and academic ties with Israel while the occupation of Palestine
continues.
Following the ruling of the International Court of Justice in the Hague that
Israel's building of a wall on Palestinian land was illegal, activists from
London and Brighton successfully blockaded the main Carmel-Agrexco depot in
the UK. This prevented tens of thousands of pounds worth of agricultural
produce from reaching its destination on British supermarket shelves.
Carmel is the main brand for Israeli agricultural exports and the company is
50 per cent owned by the Israeli state. It exports goods from settlements in
the West Bank and Gaza in violation of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The action at the depot led to the arrest of seven activists who had
d-locked themselves across the gates and prevented access to lorries. They
have all been charged with aggravated trespass: the prevention of lawful
activity. Their defence will challenge the legality of Carmel-Agrexco's
trade in the UK and is hoped to act as a springboard for the whole boycott
campaign.
We invite you and your organisations to join us on the opening day of the
trial, Monday 5th September at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court, for a
Palestinian breakfast in support of the defendants, in support of the
boycott campaign and in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to end the
occupation.

"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity, because it is in the interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity in contrast to Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity is there only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new expedient to continue the fight against Zionism and for Arab unity

In response to comments already posted-when its clear from the start that the israeli project intended to remove by force those who had been living on the land for centuries, it is hardly a defence to say that Palestine has never existed. Whatever you want to call them politically, the people who lived on that land in 1948, and 1967, and 1982, did and do exist and have a right of return to those homes stolem from them.
The fact that Agrexco is an Israeli state owned company employed in the colonial project of expropriation of arab-or palestinian land places them in a direct role of complicity in crimes against public international law.this is not radical. this is public international law.
No theoretical sophistry about the absence of palestinian identity coming from Zionist invaders can get round this basic fact (a fact on the ground that won't go away).
End the occupation.
