Our Boycott
HP campaign and our submission to the Labour inquiry on racism.

Our submission to the Labour Inquiry
on anti-semitism
As an
organisation dedicated to campaigning for the rights of
Palestinians and opposing racism, oppression and discrimination,
anti-racism is at the heart of everything we do. We actively
challenge antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of racism. We
also believe it is vital that political parties avoid confusing
support for Palestinian rights with antisemitism.

That is why, when Jeremy Corbyn MP asked Shami Chakrabarti to
lead an inquiry into antisemitism and other forms of racism including
Islamophobia in the Labour Party, we decided to give evidence to the
inquiry.

We’ve called on the Labour Party to avoid confusing support for
Palestinian rights with antisemitism. This is both untrue and
dangerous – we must all be able to support human rights for
Palestinians without being branded as racist. Read our full response.

You can give evidence to the
inquiry yourself up until Friday 10th June.
Our National Day of Action on
Hewlett Packard  
At more than twenty locations around the UK on
Saturday 4th June 2016, activists protested the involvement of
technology giant Hewlett Packard (HP) in Israel’s illegal occupation
of Palestine and its military infrastructure as part of our National
Day of Action on Hewlett Packard. 
PSC branches organised pickets outside major stockists
of HP products, and spoke to members of the public about the
corporation’s complicity in Israel’s systematic abuses of Palestinian
human rights, asking them to sign the pledge to boycott HP.
HP’s technology and equipment
facilitate both the illegal Israeli occupation and apartheid:
  • through the development of its biometric
    system used for population and territorial control and
    surveillance of Palestinians both inside Israel and in the
    occupied Palestinian territory.
  • with their Basel system which is installed at
    the Israeli military checkpoints in the occupied West Bank,
    depriving Palestinians of freedom of movement, in violation of
    international law.
  • by supplying the computer systems
    for Israel’s Ministry of Defence. 
  • by providing services and technologies
    to two of the largest illegal settlements in the occupied West
    Bank, Modi’in Illit and Ariel. 
Follow the campaign on Facebook and on the website.
