Actions to take now in support of Int'l Solidarity with Palestinian Rights

[palestinianrightssacregion at list.omsoft.com]

November 29 is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian
peoples. Please take these actions:

1) Sign petition against US State Dept attacks on BDS

Sec of State Pompeo announced that the State Department will designate the
Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement as antisemitic, and
directed his office to create a blacklist of organizations that support BDS.
BDS is a successful tool for Palestinian rights, following in the tradition
of the global boycott and divestment that helped apartheid in South Africa.

Please sign the petition if you haven’t already. If you have already
signed, please share widely.

2) Tell MoveOn to boycott, not promote Ben and Jerry’s ice cream

MoveOn is using Ben and Jerry’s ice cream as an incentive to donate to its
Get Big Money out of Politics campaign. The problem is the company that
makes Ben and Jerry’s is profiting from Israel’s brutal occupation,
selling its products in illegal settlements built on stolen Palestinian
Land.  <https://icecream.vtjp.org/> Click for more info.

Email MoveOn at membersupport at moveon.org <mailto:membersupport at moveon.org>
or through their website: https://front.moveon.org/contact-us

Tell MoveOn not to be PEP (progressive except Palestine) and to not use
settlement products like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream to promote its
campaigns. Note MoveOn tries to claim that the individuals Ben and Jerry no
longer own the ice cream company, Unilever does, but the fact is MoveOn is
giving away the ice cream, a product being sold in the illegal settlements.

3) Don’t buy Pillsbury products this holiday

Pillsbury is making products in one of Israel’s illegal colonies in
Palestine’s West Bank, the Atarot Industrial Zone. The company is
exploiting land, water, and other resources that were captured by force from
their legal Palestinian owners, in violation of international law-and
directly profiting from the illegal occupation and colonial dispossession.

Here is what you can do:

● Don’t buy any Pillsbury products.
●  <https://www.afsc.org/action/boycott-pillsbury> Send a message to
General Mills CEO to stop manufacturing on stolen land.
● Contact Pillsbury  <https://www.pillsburybaking.com/contact-us> through
their website and tell them you are boycotting their products until they end
all operations in the occupied territories.. Click General Questions, click
“complaint”, “other”, “very disappointed”, then on “Next” to leave
your message.
● Tell your friends, family and others not to buy Pillsbury.
