The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) campaigns for justice for the Palestinians. As we approach the 60th anniversary in 2008 of the dispossession of the Palestinians of their homeland in 1948, PSC is building a mass solidarity movement with the aim of effecting changes in consciousness, policies and actions in Britain and at an international level. PSC calls for Palestinian self-determination, and campaigns against the Israeli state’s repression of the Palestinian people. We lobby the British government to end the arms trade with Israel, and to press Israel to abide by international law, end its illegal occupation and allow the return of refugees.
Gaza is under a total siege, imposed by Israel, which has created a humanitarian crisis, destroyed the economy and violates the basic human rights of the Palestinian civilian population, particularly the right to decent living conditions, health and education.
On 19 September 2007, the Israeli government declared the Gaza Strip "a hostile entity" and stepped up its collective punishment. A crime is being perpetrated against civilians in Gaza which violates international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
In March 2008 leading international humanitarian agencies issued a report "The Gaza Strip: A humanitarian implosion", which states that 'the situation for 1.5 million Palestinian in the Gaza Strip is worse now than it has ever been since the start of the Israeli military occupation in 1967. The current situation in Gaza is man-made, completely avoidable and, with the necessary political will, can also be reversed."
