Amnesty International’s new investigation shows that Israel imposes a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians across all areas under its control: in Israel and the Occupied Palestine Territories, and against Palestinian refugees, in order to benefit Jewish Israelis. This amounts to apartheid as prohibited in international law. See the report here

But if you're too pressed for time to read it, Amnesty has produced an excellent 14 minute video- view it at www.tinyurl.com/amnesty-israel

It would be really valuable to get your MP to at least look at the video. And with the news that Amnesty has suffered the predictable slurs of antisemitism for stating the truth, it's important that your MP decides not be fearful too, in speaking out.

We are soon to face the prospect of our Tory Government seeking to ostracise BDS through preventing local authorities from boycotting Israel- so we need to bolster their confidence in refusing to support this. Too many MPs are in the Friends of Israel- 38% of Labour MPs are, plus many more in the Tory Party.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Please write to your MP about the Amnesty report and the attacks on it. You can copy and paste a form letter I've prepared at www.bogusantisemitism.org/our-politicians-where-they-stand

Best wishes,
