New European Initiatives for Palestine

Community Church of Boston • 565 Boylston St • Copley T • Boston 
The Palestine/Israel Working Group of Massachusetts Peace Action
invites you to hear Dr. Phyllis Starkey, former British M.P.

Earlier this month, Dr. Starkey spoke at Oxford University on “How European Governments subcontract policy on Israel/Palestine to parliamentarians, civil society, and businesses.”
“Israel’s continued deepening of the occupation, failure to make any positive moves in political negotiations, and growing threats to formally annex Area C of the West Bank demonstrate that Europe must use its leverage as Israel’s biggest trading partner and take more robust action.”
 — May 2014
“Europe needs to use its economic levers to hold Israel to account. Firstly it must suspend all arms sales to Israel today – not when the next conflict begins. Secondly the EU should propose a strict timetable for easing the blockade (coupled with an offer to meet Israel’s genuine security concerns) and for wider negotiations to end the entire occupation.”
