CARDIFF Palestine Solidarity Campaign is ramping up its campaign to boycott Israel this weekend with a march and rally on Saturday. This comes in the aftermath of the third biggest sportswear brand worldwide, Puma, dropping its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association following pressure from campaigners over the years.
Veteran campaigner and Wales-based Honorary President of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Betty Hunter, said: “After five years, Puma bowing to relentless pressure shows boycott campaigning can work. We won’t be satisfied until others still trading with Israel also decide to join us in isolating apartheid Israel, however.”
Campaigners will be back on the streets this Saturday with three calls:
an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza
supermarkets not to stock Israeli goods
disinvestment from arms companies by Barclays Bank, a major supporter of the arms trade with Israel.
The march will assemble at the Nye Bevan statue, Queen Street, at 12.00 followed by a rally at Cardiff Library, where Palestinian speakers will relate the horror of life in Gaza under Israeli occupation and bombing.
Cardiff PSC actions will be in alliance with the Muslim Council for Wales, Black Lives Matter, Palestine Social Club, Stop the War and Syrian Welsh Soc. They will be mirrored by protests across Wales
