UK Activists Challenge Veolia to End Illegal Settlement Activities in Palestine
 
Representatives of British civil society will hand in a letter to Veolia’s headquarters in London on Thursday 3rd of December 2009, calling on Veolia to cease its support for Israel’s continuing violation of international law and to terminate all its services to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
 
The letter is signed by among others Clare Short MP, Canon Garth Hewitt, Miriam Margolyes OBE, Dr Caroline Lucas MEP, Baroness Jenny Tonge, Prof Karma Nabulsi and William Dalrymple.
 
The letter to Veolia is part of an international campaign, coordinated by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in the UK, asking Veolia to stop its involvement in the illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
 
Veolia, through its light rail tramway contract, its Israeli-only bus services and its Tovlan landfill site is facilitating Israel’s illegal settlements and thus aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes.
