Ask Businesses to Boycott Israeli Products (Email Template)

ACTIONS

To the owner or manager,

As a customer, I am writing to request that [Name of shop/café/venue] commits not to stock or use products that enable Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian rights.

Please commit not to sell:

Israeli produce such as avocados, peppers, herbs and dates.
Coca-Cola products.

Israeli produce is grown in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land, using looted Palestinian resources. When businesses in Britain sell this produce, they are profiting from Israel’s theft of Palestinian land.

Coca-Cola’s exclusive franchisee in Israel operates a regional distribution centre and cooling houses in an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied East Jerusalem. It is therefore helping Israel to solidify its grip on stolen Palestinian land. Please stock an apartheid-free alternative, such as Gaza Cola.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) is calling on shops, cafés and venues across Britain to join the boycott of these products as part of its Don’t Buy Apartheid campaign. Please join many other businesses in supporting Palestinians by refraining from stocking or using Israeli produce or Coca-Cola.

It is urgent that we take action. Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed many tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Palestinians, and caused almost incalculable devastation. In the illegally occupied West Bank, Israel carries out daily military invasions, and continues to forcibly expel Palestinians from their homes and land.

In the face of these attacks, Palestinians have called on people of conscience around the world to engage in targeted boycotts against corporations that enable the oppression that they face.

Taking this action will resonate with many in our community, who will support shops and businesses supporting human rights and justice.

Yours sincerely,
