BOYCOTT ISRAEL
Our website is undergoing a major upgrade, things may not function as expected during the transition. We ask for patience - thank you.
People of good conscience have chosen to boycott israeli products and companies supporting the zionist entity. Their ethical purchasing decision however is frustrated by the lack of accurate information as to which companies to boycott.
We have carried out extensive research to identify the guilty companies. All our findings are provided here. Where ever possible, we have included full references for the source of our information so that you may independently verify its accuracy and understand exactly how each company is contributing its support to israel. We thank all those organizations who's research we have utilized.
Our research is on going and we encourage you to help us with it - If you have any information regarding guilty companies please e-mail us this information with source references. Thank you.
We suggest you start with the Boycott Israel Frequently Asked Questions page - it will clarify what the boycott is about.

Whilst Israel was slaughtering children in Gaza the Board of Deputies of British Jews - the voice of Israel in the UK, held a rally in support of Israel. No matter how it was dressed up, it was nothing less that the celebration of genocide. A particularly ugly and shameful event couldn't go unchallenged, the Islamic Human Rights Commission organised a counter-demo to oppose it. At the counter-demo an anti-zionist rabbi burnt his Israeli passport in disgust.
The photo-report includes videos of the demo, speeches and passport burning.

RAMADAN CAMPAIGN: BOYCOTT ISRAELI DATES Medjool Dates produced in the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank Did you know that every Ramadan Europes Muslims are unknowingly bankrolling the suffering of their brothers and sisters in Palestine?
Every year at Ramadan Israel especially produces an early crop of dates in time for Ramadan which with the collaboration of Muslim shops serving the Muslim community in this country it sells to Muslims who unaware break their fasts with stolen dates - grown on land stolen from the Palestinians, making a mockery of their faith – their act of worship in opening their fast is perverted in to financing the suffering of their brothers and sisters in Palestine who are starving this Ramadan caged behind apartheid walls.
How can this be, and what can we do about it?

DIRECT ACTION - PICKETING
An Egyptian lady said to me, during last weeks picket, that she was afraid for us picketers, she was afraid of what M&S or the Zionist might do. I think what she really meant was that we weren’t aware of the power the Zionists have. On the contrary, I think we all know how much power they have; they have as much power as we choose to give them. The plague of powerlessness that has gripped the Muslim ummah, has plunged people into a state of complacency and appeasement that goes against all our Islamic beliefs. Its’ time for all of us to pull ourselves out of that state. 
Sister Alaa's Picket Diary
Picketing is a form of public protest that aims to draw attention to the realities of Palestinian suffering by exposing those that help to sustain it. It embarrasses those shoppers that know they shouldn't be shopping there, informs those shoppers that are not aware of the moral objections. The companies themselves become aware of the protests and news of pickets goes all the way to the top.

CULTURAL BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL
While Israeli artists have the freedom to express themselves and exhibit freely around the world, the artistic talent of Palestine is crushed by illegal occupation and apartheid, curfew, imprisonment and attack, in refugee camps and exile.
 Mural class at Al-Rowwad before soldiers destroyed the kids paints
The soldiers destroyed our animation cameras, which were rented. They destroyed computers. They destroyed video. They ... I will not say they stole them, but some of our equipment has disappeared. We have losses around $12,000. They even emptied the tubes of paint all over the place...

|  Inad theatre specialises in working with children to help provide an alternative outlet for expression
We still hope that no more damages will occur to our beloved theatre, because we have worked very hard for it. Inad Theatre has been bombed over nine times since the beginning of the bombardment on Beit Jala. Each time more and more damage has been done...
Shortly after this communique, on 20th Feb 2001, Inad theatre on the West Bank was shelled again, this time the building was too badly damaged to continue as a theatre. |

SPORTS BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL
Sports is one of the few realms in which the international community fully recognises the Palestinian state. Perhaps its for this reason that Israel seems to have particularly targeted Palestinian sports.
Israel has made it impossible with its blockades, checkpoints and travel restrictions for Palestinian sportsmen and women to even meet together to practice as a team - the first time the players of women’s football team all met each other was in Jordon at an international match!
In addition, Israel destroys or prevents access to the very limited training facilities available on the occupied territories. Last April (2006) FIFA condemned the israeli direct strike on Gaza Stadium which it deemed was "without any reason".
 Activists picket the Football Association in Soho Square in protest at the England vs Israel Euro 2008 qualifying match (24 Mar 2007)
Israel routinely prevent Palestinian sportsmen from attending international sports competitions. In 2004 five players were prevented from travelling to the World Cup qualifier game against Uzbekistan - as a result Palestine failed to qualify.
Those players who had managed to attend the Uzbekistan match were punished on their return - after crossing from the Egyptian border to return to Rafah - a distance of just 100 metres took them 40 hours due to israeli checkpoints! Then upon reaching his home, Ziad Al Kourd discovered his house in the Gaza Strip town of Deir al-Balah had been demolished by the Israeli army! Earlier the israelis had killed Palestine's talented midfielder Tarek al-Quto in the West Bank.
 Poster of 11 year old Ali who was shot dead by an israeli army sniper on 18 June 2001. He bled to death on the football field where he was playing football with his friends when the sniper struck. Even the children are not spared. A disproportionably high number of Palestinian children are shot whilst playing football.
All of this whilst Israeli sportsmen and women travel freely around the world to compete in any competition they choose, without any regard or responsibility for what their country is doing to the Palestinians. Its not surprising then to discover that following the Jenin massacre the israeli football team visiting Scotland were practically all serving soldiers, no doubt wanting a break after the dirty massacre.
The sports boycott exists as a way to express people's growing outrage over Israeli occupation and war crimes and the world community's failure to act.
 Direct Action - activists invade the pitch during a Leyton Orient Vs Maccabi Tel Aviv football match (31 July 2002)
Its a peaceful means of putting international pressure on the state of Israel. If politicians won't act people must!
 Nevin Kleib of the Palestinian national women's soccer team. Due to the israeli checkpoints and apartheid wall the national team cannot access the soccer field which is just 18 miles away, and are forced to play on an improvised concrete field. The first time they played on grass was at an overseas championship match.
Due to a string of stringent Israeli military checkpoints opportunities for the entire national team to play together are extremely rare. The team can meet and play together only at overseas championships.
The first such opportunity came last year at the West Asian women's football championship in Jordan. "It was a strange experience," recalls their coach Hilal, "the team playing a game together without even knowing each other's names."

 Iran's double gold olympic champion, Arash Miresmaeili, favourite for the 2004 olympics - he forfeited his gold medal for boycotting Israel. Then he was threatened with sanctions from the International Judo Federation but he stood his ground: |
Although I have trained for months and am in shape, I refused to face my Israeli rival in sympathy with the oppressed Palestinian people . . . I am not upset about the decision I have made.
