Israel will only end its brutal occupation of Palestine when the economic
cost is too high.

General Mills — owner of Häagen-Dazs and Pillsbury — continues to run
business in illegal Israeli settlements.

Call on General Mills to stand up to apartheid?

In the Occupied West Bank, Israelis steal land to build homes.
Palestinians have their land stolen and homes demolished. Israelis can get
a fair trial. Palestinians cannot.

John, this is apartheid.

And General Mills, the $65 billion business that owns brands from
Häagen-Dazs to Pillsbury, is complicit in this gross human rights
violation by overseeing a factory on stolen Palestinian land.

We’ve already convinced Ben & Jerry’s to pull their support from the
settlements. If we can make General Mills move as well, we might finally
have the momentum we need.

[ [link removed] ]Call on General Mills to stop upholding apartheid policies.

Ben & Jerry's just became the first large global corporation to pull out
of the Illegally Occupied Palestinian Territories in years. And multiple
sources inside the company said that the 50,000 SumOfUs members that took
action had a huge impact on the decision.

Häagen-Dazs’ parent company should be next -- in a damning report, the
United Nations found General Mills complicit in violating Palestinian
human rights.

And if Häagen-Dazs' parent company would join Ben & Jerry’s, it would be
the start of a corporate movement to exit apartheid Israel similar to the
corporate exit of South Africa in the 80s. We know multiple companies are
on the verge of joining the movement -- since Ben & Jerry's announcement,
we've been busy meeting with high level corporate staff to talk about
their company's exit plans from 'apartheid' Israel.

Today is General Mills annual meeting and this is a great time to put on
the pressure for company to stop being complicit in gross human rights
violations.

Palestine.
