2007 marks the 40-year
anniversary of the Six Day War,
in which the Israeli army took
military control of the Gaza
Strip and West Bank, including
East Jerusalem. Since this time,
Palestinians have lived under an
occupation which has severely
violated their human rights.
Israel has been in violation
of international humanitarian
law and over 60 UN resolutions.
The Occupation has created
serious poverty for the
Palestinians, as well as severe
human rights violations. Britain
bears responsibility for this
suffering.
Along with the US and many
EU countries, the UK
government today is involved in
a close military, economic and
political relationship with Israel,
and fails to stand up for the
rights of the Palestinian people.
ENOUGH!
The Enough! Campaign is a
coalition of charities, trade
unions, faith and other
campaign groups, calling for the
end of the Israeli occupation
and justice for the Palestinians.
National trade unions that are
members of Enough! include
Amicus, the Bakers Food and
Allied Workers Union, the
Communication Workers’ Union,
GMB, NUJ, the Public and
Commercial Services Union, the
Transport and General Workers
Union, and UNISON. We are
calling on all trade unions
members to take action in
support of this campaign, and to
stand up for justice, equality
and freedom.
On June 9 a national
demonstration and rally will
take place in London, meeting at
Lincoln’s Inn Fields at 1.30 pm
and marching to Trafalgar
Square.
Make this demonstration a
clear sign to our government of
the strength of feeling of the
British people. It’s time to say
Enough!
