…you or the company you represent does not have moral or ESG issues with a country that:
has a differential systems of authority in the West Bank & East Jerusalem favouring Israeli settlers (living in illegal settlements, in flagrant and continuing violation of article 49(6) of the fourth Geneva convention, and international law)
grants full rights under Israeli law to over 750,000 Israeli settlers, as opposed to
millions of out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians residents living in the same
geographic space who (Palestinians) are governed by military administration that is arbitrary
and abusive;
restricts the movement of the out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians in the West Bank and to and from Jerusalem, including an Israeli-only road network and a separation wall (determined as unlawful by the World Court in 2004)
has checkpoints for Palestinians involving long waits and frequent humiliations for millions of unseen and out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians while Israeli settlers and visitors have unrestricted mobility facilitated by different coloured registration plates on cars
has discriminatory policies against out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians on land ownership, tenure and use, against the out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians
allow Israeli settlers to build thousands of housing units, public facilities and industrial structures without permits. Meanwhile thousands of Palestinians homes and structures have been, and continue to be bulldozed in West Bank and East Jerusalem
practices preferential citizenship, visitation, family unification, and residence laws – one for Jews and one for out-of-sight out-of-mind Palestinians from West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza and elsewhere
has discriminatory policies in place to ensure Israeli Palestinians are not able to acquire Israeli citizenship or even residence rights, as contrasted to a Jewish
law of return that entitles Jews anywhere in the world with no prior tie to Israel to visit, reside, obtain property and become Israeli citizens
subject Palestinians to punitive house demolitions, expulsions, deportations and restrictions on entry to and exit from Gaza, West Bank & East Jerusalem.
