I am deeply concerned with the increasing Israeli violations against Palestinian children including the murder of 15 year Ali Abu Alia near Ramallah on Friday 4 December 2020. Ali was killed as a result of a shot fired to his abdomen by Israeli forces whilst observing a peaceful demonstration.

Ali is the second teenager to be killed in under two months by Israeli forces. In October, Amer Abdel-Rahim Snobar was helping his friend move a car when Israeli forces arrived. Doctors stated he likely died from asphyxiation as a result of strangulation by the Israeli forces.

Israel use unwarranted lethal force against Palestinian children as well as live ammunition against children, which is a violation of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Israel routinely subjects Palestinian children to night raids and force them to sign confessions without any legal representation.

Currently, 15 Palestinian children are being held in solitary confinement and 186 children in ‘security’ detention.

Israel consistently and seriously breech the rights of Palestinian children and these gross violations must be condemned.

As your constituent I would urge you to take this extremely important matter further and write to the Minister for Middle East and North Africa to unreservedly condemn Israel’s killing of 15 year old Ali Abu Alia and Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children.

Thank you

Israel's violations against Palestinian children

Israel continues its violations against Palestinian children with the murder of 15 year Ali Abu Alia on 4 December 2020. Ali was killed as a result of a shot fired to his abdomen by Israeli forces whilst observing a peaceful demonstration. This follows the murder of Amer Abdel-Rahim Snobar in October, who was helping a friend move a car when Israeli forces arrived. Doctors stated he likely died from asphyxiation as a result of strangulation by the Israeli forces.

Israel use unwarranted lethal force against Palestinian children as well as live ammunition against children, which is a violation of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

#BoycottPuma

Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which has several football teams in illegal Israeli settlements. Just as the Football Association (FA) is the governing body for football in England, the IFA is the governing body for football in Israel.

Six teams that belong to IFA are located in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Settlements are built up Israeli communities on stolen Palestinian land. Pre-existing Palestinian communities are forcibly removed from their homes and deprived of access to their land.

The United Nations and several Human Rights groups have deemed Israeli settlements as illegal and a violation of international law.

By sponsoring the IFA, PUMA is supporting illegal Israeli settlements which violate Palestinian rights and international law.

More than 200 Palestinian sports clubs have called on PUMA to stop supporting the IFA & violating international law. In 2018, Adidas announced it would no longer sponsor the IFA after receiving 16,000 signatures.

Let’s do this again and stop PUMA from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine!

#NotInMyFridge

Central Bottling Company (CBC) is an Israeli manufacturer and distributor of soft drinks, dairy products and alcoholic beverages.

Coca-Cola profits from the occupation by working with CBC which sells its drinks in Israel. CBC has a Coca-Cola factory in Atarot illegal Israeli settlement. Israeli settlements are built on land stolen from Palestinians and are illegal under international law.

By having it’s Israeli franchise in illegal settlements, Coca-Cola ignores international law and profits from the illegal occupation.

FOA is calling for Coca-Cola to cut ties with CBC.

Buying from companies which work in settlements such as Coca Cola means we as consumers are turning a blind eye to the illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
