South Africa, Denmark and Switzerland to correctly label Israeli settlement products

South Africa, Denmark and Switzerland to correctly label
Israeli settlement products

Bethlehem, 1st of June 2012 – Kairos Palestine welcomes with great blitheness the recent historic decision of the governments of South Africa and Denmark, as well as from Switzerland’s largest retail chain Migros, to correctly label Israeli settlement products. We believe that this decision is a positive step into the right direction and we hope more countries and companies will follow this initiative. This decision is a clear statement, that the Israeli occupation and its settlements, both in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, are illegal under international law.

Kairos Palestine supports the global campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions, because it is a just, nonviolent and peaceful tool. We believe that BDS is a way to pressure the Israeli government to respect international law, honor human rights and work towards a genuinely just peace.

Kairos Palestine endorses the remarkable steps in South Africa, Denmark and Switzerland and sees it as a clarion call to action for all governments and retail chains worldwide.
