CAMPAIGNERS have called for action to stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land in Britain ahead of the Great Israeli Real Estate Event.
The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) has launched a “Stop Stolen Land Sales” campaign in response to the event in London on Sunday, which promotes the sale of land in settlements including Gush Etzion in the occupied West Bank.
The Tory government condemned it as illegal in a Commons debate in 2016.
Amnesty International UK has also called on the government to “take immediate action to stop the event going ahead.”
The campaign aims to halt the event through public pressure, mobilising MPs to call for its cancellation and a direct mobilisation at the venue.
PYM’s Jeanine Hourani said: “Palestinians and Arabs in the diaspora cannot and will not allow the sale of land to take place in our local communities here in Britain.
“The land that the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ aims to auction off here in London was stolen from our parents and grandparents.
“We launched this campaign to reject the ongoing ethnic cleansing and dispossession of our people and to insist on our right to return to our homeland.”
