<p>July - the Month against the Wall and against Israeli
Impunity - has started with dramatic developments in
Palestine: After the murder of 16 year old Muhammad
Hussein Abu Khdeir from Shufat refugee camp, only today
over fifty people have been injured by live ammunition in
Shufat refugee camp in Jerusalem, confrontations with
settlers have been continuing in different places in
Jerusalem and in the rest of the West Bank, this night
Israeli military has invaded most of the Palestinian
cities in the West Bank. This all adds to the ongoing mass
arrest campaign across the West Bank, home demolitions,
the shelling of Gaza and the burning Palestinian property
by Israeli settlers.<br>
<br>
As we stated in the Stop the Wall statement on the current
military initiative:</p>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px

rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><i>"The aims of this
military offensive bare no relevance to the
disappearance of the three settlers - that is only a
timely smoke screen. The entire repressive operation is
part of the ‘unilateral redeployment’ plan proposed by
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of
April following the failure of the ‘Kerry Initiative. </i></blockquote>

<i>This ‘redeployment’ plan amounts to nothing more but
the implementation and creation of Palestinians
Bantustans in the West Bank, delimited by the Wall and
its associated regime - the settlements and military
zones - which together annex some 60 percent of the West
Bank. It is not by chance that ten different bills to
annex settlement blocks have been submitted in the
Knesset this May, and calls to immediately annex the
Gush Etzion block are growing. Meanwhile, settlement
construction is continuing relentlessly."</i> </blockquote>

<strong>While the situation seems still to be escalating,
it is more than ever urgent for us all to work together
to </strong><em>#StopIsraeliimpunity</em><strong>, to
ensure the truth about Israeli apartheid, colonization
and occupation is told and Israeli policies of military
repression are put into the context of Israeli
strategies and plans. Global mobilization and awareness
raising is truly needed now. </strong></p>
<p><strong>In Palestine,</strong> people continue out in the
streets to defend their homes, cities and refugee camps -
resistance is existence. In addition, during July specific
actions to Stop Israeli Impunity will take place in many
cities, towns and communities. Friday protests will be
dedicated to the Month against the Wall and to
#StopIsraeliImpunity. The centres of the campaign will be
in Hebron and the Jordan Valley. </p>
<p>In Hebron, action will focus on demonstrations on the
road blocks that surround the town, walks and marches
through the old city torn apart by occupation, and
solidarity visits for those families that have been raided
and bombed. The launch of the Popular Council to Save the
Jordan Valley will unite the efforts of threatened
communities to defend their rights to land, water and
life. In both the campaign centres, activists will
mobilise media both nationally and internationally and
provide regular updates on systems of apartheid and ethnic
cleansing which are destroying communities across
Palestine.</p>
<p>On July 9, several activities, including meetings and
conferences, will highlight the Stop Israeli Impunity!
campaign, and the anniversary of the 2004 International
Court of Justice decision on the illegality of the
apartheid wall.</p>
<p><strong>At international level,</strong> actions all
around the world - from Korea to San Francisco, from Oslo
to Chile - are planned and still new reports of actions
are coming in.</p>
<p>Please help us to keep track about the actions and send
us a short info about your action using the feedback form
at: <a

</a></p>
<p>We are as well happy to share that on July 1, campaigners
in Brighton (UK) were able to announce the closure of the
Ecostream store. This is a victory for people power
against a corporation profiting from human suffering and
shows that the movement for <a
href="http://members.stopthewall.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1870&qid=564696"
rel="nofollow" target="_blank">boycott, divestment and
sanctions</a> against Israeli apartheid, militarism and
occupation is continuing to gather momentum.</p>
<p>Brighton & Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign today
issued the <a
href="http://members.stopthewall.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1894&qid=564696">following
statement</a>:</p>
<p><em>"This campaign has taken the message about human
rights abuses in occupied Palestine to the people of
Brighton, and their response has been fantastic. They
have made it clear that they do not want businesses from
illegal Israeli settlements trading in their town. The
closure of SodaStream’s so-called flagship UK store in
Brighton is just one step in a campaign to send a clear
message to the Israeli government and the international
community that, at the grassroots level, people of
conscience are taking action to force Israel to comply
with international law and to bring about justice for
the Palestinian people. We give notice to the other
stockists of SodaStream products in the city that we
will continue to take the
message about SodaStream to the people of Brighton on
behalf of the Palestinian people. Congratulations to the
people of Brighton and Hove, who can tell the difference
between ethical and unethical."</em></p>
