End Israeli Occupation: Peace for all Lobby of Parliament 28
November 2007 2-6pm Westminster London
Isolation Our government must end the economic and political
isolation of Gaza immediately. 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza
are suffering a humanitarian disaster with 87% of Gazans living
below the poverty line.
International law Our government must insist that Israel
complies with international law and ends its continuing expansion
of settlements on occupied Palestinian land. There are currently
500,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Illegal wall Our government must respect the International
Court of Justice advisory opinion regarding the illegal wall
in the West Bank and Jerusalem and hold Israel to account. The
route of the Wall is effectively annexing 10 per cent of the
West Bank to Israel, leaving 49,400 Palestinians stranded between
the Green Line and the wall.
Democratic principles Our government must recognise
those elected democratically by the Palestinian people and help
to reconcile the differences between Fatah and Hamas. All illegally
held political prisoners by both sides, especially children,
must be released. An end to 40 years of occupation and a just
settlement is the only way to achieve peace for both Palestinians
and Israelis.
Help make the change! Join the lobby and speak to your MP.
To lobby your MP: Firstly, contact your MP as soon as possible
and arrange a meeting with them on Wednesday 28 November. If
you don't know who your MP is, go to www.faxyourmp.com or phone
020 7219 3000. Briefly explain to your MP what you would like
to speak to them about. Secondly, please let us know when you

can still try to meet them on the day — just come along to the
