Ireland could finally ban all trade with illegal settlements, but is being
bullied by Washington to give up.

A strong ban in Ireland could spread to other countries.

Tell the Irish government to pass the Occupied Territories Bill.

John,

Right now, Ireland has a historic chance to confront Apartheid — and the
world is watching.

The Irish parliament is close to passing a law banning trade with Israel's
illegal settlements. If it goes through, Ireland will become the first EU
country to impose real economic consequences for Israel’s occupation of
Palestine.

But powerful voices are trying to stop it. The US Ambassador to Israel
just tweeted a threat telling Ireland to “sober up”. You can only imagine
what Washington’s saying behind closed doors.

That’s why it’s so important for us to speak up now.

If people around the world call on the Irish government today, we can tip
the balance. We’ll deliver this petition directly to the Irish parliament
in the final moments before the vote.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name now. Tell the Irish government to pass the Occupied
Territories Bill, restricting both trade in products and services with
illegal settlements.

This isn’t symbolic — it’s precedent-setting. And it would have a massive
impact - from cutting off the trade in products that come from stolen
Palestinian land, to even blocking companies like PayPal, AirBnB and
Google in Ireland from enabling Israel’s illegal settlements!

By passing this bill, Ireland will open the door for other EU countries to
take unilateral action and finally hold Israel accountable. Just this
week Slovenia became the first EU country to comprehensively ban weapons
trade with Israel. Bigger countries will follow.

Ireland was the first western country to pass a complete ban on imports
from apartheid South Africa in 1987 — but it only did it after a
years-long grassroots campaign grew so big that it couldn’t be ignored.

A strong Irish ban on trade with illegal settlements can cause a ripple
effect. That’s why the US and Israeli governments are meddling-in.
Together, we’ve built a movement for accountability — for Gaza, for human
rights, and for justice.

Let’s make history.
