Israel’s settlement enterprise – illegal under international law – continues to forcibly displace Palestinians, destroy livelihoods, and restrict access to their land. It also exposes communities to increasing violence and harassment by Israeli settlers as documented by our Ecumenical Accompaniers.
Only recently the British and Irish governments condemned in the strongest terms increasing “settler terror” against Palestinians in the West Bank which has risen yet again since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran. But despite this, ministers continue to allow trade which enables the illegal settlement enterprise, turning Israel’s occupation of Palestine into a permanent annexation.
This must end.
Together, we can push our governments to stop supporting this terror – and take tangible action toward justice, dignity, and lasting peace for all Palestinians and Israelis.
