FOA volunteers seen at a protest calling for the UK government to stop arming Israel

UK Government #StopArmingIsrael

We are calling for the British government to stop funding Israeli war crimes by cancelling its arms export licenses to Israel. Currently the funds given to Israel as military aid are used to oppress Palestinians by using excessive and violent force, making their daily lives unbearable.

FAQ

How much money has UK licenses provided Israel with in arms?

According to figures from the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) the UK arms to Israel export was valued at £119 million between 2013 and 2016.

What do UK military exports / licenses to Israel include?

Military exports to Israel in 2016 included electronic warfare equipment such as missiles, with almost half the total spent was used on military aircraft, missiles, and radars and other control equipment. These controls assist in targeting missiles into Gaza, where on top of these military assaults, there is an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

What is the impact on Palestinians?

These weapons have caused over 39,512 injuries and 2,623 deaths of Palestinians in the last 3 years.  They have also permitted the systematic oppression of the Palestinians in their use by the Israeli military and police forces, who use these weapons violently towards Palestinians at checkpoints, on illegal house raids and in the prison system.

#CheckTheLabel

Israeli produce is often grown in illegal settlements in the West Bank and it has become increasingly difficult to trust where produce is coming from, due to incorrect labelling. We are asking consumers to #CheckTheLabel and boycott produce from Israel West Bank and the Jordan Valley.

Produce in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley are highly likely to be from illegal Israeli settlements and should be boycotted.

The boycott of illegal settlement produce is becoming well established. However, there is now also a move to boycott Israeli produce too, as Israeli companies have been found to breach EU food labelling regulations by labelling settlements goods as ‘produce of Israel’.

#NotInMyFridge

FOA has called for a boycott of Coca-Cola, in response to its support of Israel and its illegal and immoral occupation.

Coke violates international law and supports Israel’s occupation by operating in Atarot and shadmot Mehola illegal settlements

Buying produce from companies which operate in settlements means we as consumers are complicit in Israel’s illegal actions.
