PRESENTING THE INTERNATIONAL
DAY OF ACTION FOR THE BOYCOTT OF ISRAELI AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
A Day of Solidarity with
Palestinian Farmers and Fishermen
On Wednesday 6th of February at 10 a.m. in the Gaza port, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees and
International Action for Palestine, invite you to a press conference announcing
the International Day of Action in solidarity with Palestinian farmers and
fishermen on Saturday 9th February. The Day of Action, called by Palestinian agricultural organisations and the Palestinian BDS
National Committee, will launch worldwide boycott
campaigns of Israeli agricultural products and corporations, in light of their deep complicity in Israel’s ongoing violations of international law and Palestinian human rights. Thousands
of people around the world in dozens of countries will participate on the 9th February and Gaza will host events to support the campaigns throughout
the week.
At the press conference several organisations, fishermen and farmers will
speak first-hand on the impact of the incessant aggression and
blockade on the livelihoods of Gazan farmers and fishermen, and ask people of
conscience in Gaza and beyond to boycott, divest and sanction from Israeli
agricultural products. We´ll also present the events that will be organized in
the following days, prior to the International Day of Action on
Saturday.
The conference will also include the public presentation of International
Action for Palestine, a group formed by international volunteers that works
closely with Palestinian organizations and individuals to support the rights of
farmers, fishermen and ordinary citizens in the face of Israeli occupation.
After the press conference fishermen and activists will participate in an
action in the port. Fishermen and farmers will be also available for interviews
after the event is finished.
