Sainsbury’s: Stop supporting settlement trade

March 1, 2014

Date/Time
Date(s) - 1 Mar 2014
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM


On Saturday 1st March, as part of a National Day of Action targeting Sainsbury’s supermarkets, Brighton & Hove PSC members will be handing out leaflets at the Sainsbury’s store in New England Street, Brighton from 11am till 12 noon. Join us!

Sainsbury’s uses suppliers that trade in products from illegal Israeli settlements. Israeli settlements are built on stolen Palestinian land and are illegal under international law.

Up and down the country, people of conscience will be explaining to Sainsbury’s customers that the company’s ethical trading policies are meaningless so long as they continue to trade with the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Keith Taylor, the MEP for Southeast England, has voiced his support for the campaign. In a statement on his website he says:

I’m supporting this important campaign because the occupation of Palestine is illegal, and is an abuse of fundamental human rights. Companies that operate in and export from illegal settlements profit directly from these violations. Supermarkets who provide business to these companies therefore become complicit in these violations.

Supermarkets rely on the trust of their customers, and I believe that the continued support for economic activities in the illegal settlements threatens the reputation that supermarkets so strongly rely on. I therefore urge Supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s to face up to this and end all further support of these activities.
