Leicester Palestine
Solidarity Campaign is the Leicester branch of the national Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
We support the struggle of the Palestinian people against the
Israeli occupation of what is known as 'the West Bank' and Gaza. We do not take a view on what the outcome
of their struggle should be. That is for them to decide through their representative bodies.
Currently that
means: * an independent state with the boundaries of the 'Green Line' set at the end
of the 1967 war; * return of refugees forced out of Israel by the Israelis since 1948 (or full
compensation); * an end to Israeli occupation and the dismantling of Jewish settlements
in occupied Palestine.
We call on Leicester Tigers Rugby Club to end the sponsorship
deal with Caterpillar Tractors, which supplies armoured bulldozers to the Israeli Army to
demolish Palestinian homes
