SUPPORT THE GLOBAL BDS MOVEMENT

February 5, 2009

Belatedly, in response to the December 2008-January 2009 Gaza war, United for Peace of Pierce County joins many other organizations in endorsing the July 9, 2005, statement from many organizations of Palestinian civil society in favor of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) for Palestine.

We view this approach as a nonviolent path promoting movement toward freedom, equality, and respect for international law in both Israel and Palestine.
