John,
Spain, Slovenia, Belgium and the Netherlands have all announced bans on imports from Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land.
It's Ireland's turn to finally pass a products and services trade ban -- but Washington and Tel Aviv are lobbying to weaken the bill before Ireland's parliament.
That’s why it’s so important for us to speak up now.
If people around the world call on the Irish government today, we can tip the balance. We’ll deliver this petition directly to the Irish parliament in the final moments before the vote, and to Irish embassies around the world before we get there.
More than 80,000 people have already signed. Will you sign and share the petition?
Add your name now. Tell the Irish government to pass the Occupied Territories Bill, restricting both trade in products and services with illegal settlements.
This isn’t symbolic — it’s precedent-setting. And it would have a massive impact - from cutting off the trade in products that come from stolen Palestinian land, to even blocking companies like PayPal, AirBnB and Google in Ireland from enabling Israel’s illegal settlements!
By passing this bill, Ireland will open the door for other EU countries to expand their bans to include sectors like IT and banking, and finally hold Israel accountable.
Ireland was the first western country to pass a complete ban on imports from apartheid South Africa in 1987 — but it only did it after a years-long grassroots campaign grew so big that it couldn’t be ignored.
Sign the petition — and show Ireland the world is behind this.
A strong Irish ban on trade with illegal settlements can cause a ripple effect. That’s why the US and Israeli governments are meddling-in. Together, we’ve built a movement for accountability — for Gaza, for human rights, and for justice.
Let’s make history.
