Dear Supporter,
Israel just committed its biggest crime of ethnic cleansing since 1967.
Israeli forces destroyed the homes of hundreds of Palestinian families in the Palestinian neighborhood of Wadi Hummus in occupied East Jerusalem. Another 116 Palestinian homes are under imminent threat of demolition in Wadi Hummus.
The magnitude of the crime is not only its sheer scale.
Israel is only able to maintain this ongoing Nakba because governments, institutions and companies support its crimes. Volvo, Caterpillar and Hyundai Heavy Industries were involved in Israel’s military demolition of Wadi Hummus. HP-branded corporations play key roles in Israel’s apartheid regime against Palestinians. Banks such as HSBC and financial institutions like AXA fund Israel’s deadly military and security industry.

It has been three years since the UN voted to establish a database of companies involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The database remains unpublished due to political pressure from the US, Israel and some European states. It is more needed than ever today as an effective tool for seeking justice and accountability.
Thousands of homeless and displaced Palestinians are waiting for remedies. We cannot tolerate any further delay in the publication of the database. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Together we can end corporate complicity in international crimes in the OPT. Send a message to the UN using the meme above and the sample tweets below, along with these hashtags: #UNGiveUsTheNamesAlready #StopEthnicCleansing
