The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has launched a campaign urging British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to stop a property exhibition event due to take place in London later this month, arguing that it facilitates the sale of homes in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are considered illegal under international law, including by the UN and the British government, which regards them as an obstacle to peace and a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
PSC said the UK government has failed to uphold international law, and contradicts its own position affirming that settlements are illegal.
PSC told The New Arab: "Any other event in which stolen goods were being advertised for sale would not only be prohibited, it would be investigated by the police to establish the networks involved in the sale of stolen goods and to take further action as appropriate".
The event forms part of a wider international series aimed largely at Jewish communities overseas, connecting attendees with developers, estate agents and financial institutions operating in Israel.
On 14 June the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London - selling stolen Palestinian land including in settlements in the occupied territories which are illegal.

🚨BREAKING: The father of infant Sam Fahd Abu Heikal cradles and kisses his baby for the last time after Israeli forces killed the infant in Hebron West Bank yesterday.
Leaked documents show Israeli drones made by Elbit – which has factories in the UK – took a leading a role in the mass slaughter in Gaza, with onboard AI systems selecting targets autonomously, based on algorithms. The drones are integrated into a "Server in the Sky".
Palestine Action was declared a terrorist organisation by the UK government for trying to destroy this drone production.
Israel announced last week its annual defence exports had surged by 30% on the back of showcasing what Israeli tech can do in Gaza, to $20 billion.

The Jewish activist Tony Greenstein, whose opposition to the Gaza genocide will see him on trial in August for "supporting terrorism", is now being hounded – like other prominent Palestine solidarity activists – with a freeze on his bank accounts.
This is being directed by the government through the National Crime Agency.
Santander are the latest culprits to engage in what Greenstein calls "financial terrorism", after similar bank freezes from Nationwide, HSBC and First Direct.
One of the accounts frozen by Santander held money raised to help a Palestinian children's centre in Jenin.
As Greenstien notes, Jenin's children "suffer enough at the hands of the terrorist IDF without facing the terrorism of the British state acting via its banking system".

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.
Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.
WELL DONE @superdrug 👏👏👏
Superdrug have removed ALL Ahava products due to their link with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Thank you for having a moral compass!
Let’s hope more companies follow suit….
Professor Avi Shlaim, once an Israeli solider and Zionist, spoke with us about how the pro-Israel lobby in Britain has deliberately conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism in order to silence critics of Israel👇
This will be one for the history books. The Iranian government is holding the line to defend Lebanese sovereignty even at a cost to its own interests. At the same time, the Lebanese government is signing a surrender deal with the very US-Israel Axis that is attacking, invading, occupying, and subjugating it, surrendering its territory to the invading army, promising to disarm the country’s only resistance on behalf of the invading Axis, and signing a declaration attacking the Iranian government that is defending it. Marshal Pétain has returned from the grave.
The Israeli army is targeting Gaza's remaining residential blocks that were left standing after the ceasefire, leaving even more Palestinians homeless. "Fear has become a permanent guest in our homes," one resident told Mondoweiss. https://t.co/Zw5QB4Jnwf
Nizam Mamode: "We saw a number of children with sniper injuries to the head, single shot to the head, no other injuries, so clearly deliberately targeted by Israeli snipers."

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists attacked the Christian village of Taybeh and the village of Dayr Jarir, burning down tens of dunams of land and olive trees.
Residents are pleading with nearby villages to help put out the fires.

“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.”
Palantir. IT'S WORSE Than You Think @carolecadwalla
This reply to a complaint about @metpoliceuk chief statement about Gaza demos accepts that the fear expressed by some London Jews is real, as do we, but goes further and expresses the strong belief that the fear is justified by the actions of people voicing their opposition to Israel’s genocide.
It is concerning that public authorities appear to act as though the right of people to oppose crimes against humanity is less important than the right of people who seem less troubled by these atrocities not to be disturbed. The better reaction by the Police and the Mayor would be to be vocal in their condemnation of the genocide and careful and patient in explaining that these protests do not threaten the safety of any Londoners. They should cease amplifying the voices of those who spread alarm by encouraging their communities to feel unnecessarily threatened. Perversely they are damaging the ability of those they claim to represent to enjoy their lives. There is no connection between the marches and the Golders Green stabbings.
Then we can collectively attempt to deal with the conditions which provoke real antisemitic outrages like that in Golders Green

Amnesty has an Urgent Action on behalf of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Israel must release him now. Why oh why such cruelty? Why oh why those with the power to hold Israel authorities accountable for their cruelty failing over and over?
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya should be with his loved ones, and caring for the many many people in need of his skills. The last place where he should be is solitary confinement.
