ABOUT BDS:

The BDS movement calls for a sustained campaign of global pressure until Israel meets its obligations under international law: full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, an end to the occupation and colonization of all Arab lands – including the Golan Heights, the Occupied West Bank with East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip – and dismantling the Wall, and the protection of Palestinianrefugees’ right to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in U.N. resolution 194.

8 April: Mahmoud Hawari, archaeologist, will speak about Jerusalem.7.30pm Oxford Town Hall, all welcome.

Mahmoud, leading archaeologist of Jerusalem, and of all Palestine and the Middle East, author of several books, has taught in Oxford and Palestinian Universities, and has been a leading member of Palestine Solidarity in many places including Oxford. Archaeology in Israel and Palestine is very entwined with politics.

 

 

 

Boycott actions:

 

On the first Saturdays of following weeks we shall be leafleting local stores stocking Sodastream, and other Sainsburys branches. The Argos store off Botley Road and Robert Dyas hardware store on the Clarendon Centre both stock Sodastream products. If you shop at either of these stores, at Sainsburys, or indeed at Tescos and are offended at settlement goods being on sale, write to the manager (politely and reasonably).

 

 

Every Saturday 11.30-1.30pm: OXFORD PSC STALL in Cornmarket by St Michael at Northgate church. The OPSC Saturday street stall on Cornmarket Street is one of the main ways we use for raising the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It is an important activ

    •  
      ity for offering information leaflets to the public, inviting them to join PSC or leave their email for Oxford PSC updates. Generally we are there 11:30 to 13:30. Always a minimum of two people on shift. Please consider volunteering for a shift: it’s an opportunity to meet other PSC members, those wanting information and occasionally those wishing to challenge our views, even volunteering for one shift a year would help. Please email Ali at OPSCstall@gmail.com if you're able to help.
       

If you are not already a member of PSC join us now!
