Global Justice Nottingham invites you to join an event on the UK’s economic relationships and continued arms sales to Israel – and the struggle to achieve justice for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Trading in oppression: how the UK’s economic ties with Israel support the occupation of Palestine

📅 When: Monday 16 March, 7pm
📍 Where: Fellows Morton & Clayton, 54 Canal Street, Nottingham, NG1 7EH
🎙️ Speakers:
Tim Bierley, Palestine and tech campaigner at Global Justice Now
Palestine Solidarity Campaign (speaker tbc)

Since the US-brokered truce took effect in October, Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians have continued but with much less public scrutiny. Israel has reportedly killed hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza, its military remains present in 58% of Gaza, and it has banned dozens of aid organisations from working in Palestine.

Meanwhile Israel continues to deepen its stranglehold on the West Bank, with settler attacks on Palestinians increasing in the last year and the government announcing major new projects for settlements illegal under international law.

As our media and politicians turn away, how can we keep the pressure on and translate the huge movement for Palestine into real change?

The UK is a key trade partner for Israel. Many UK-headquartered companies invest in firms involved in Israel’s illegal settlements, our government continues to license arms sales, and allow trade in surveillance technologies used to control and oppress Palestinians.

Meanwhile, big tech companies with deep links to Israel’s occupation and genocide are eating into the UK’s own digital infrastructure – raising further questions over the digital economy built around us.

Please join us on 16 March to discuss why the UK continues to assist Israel’s illegal occupation and how we can force a change.
