Federpal Accession to call: NO TO EU MERCOSUR - ISRAEL BOYCOTT ISRAEL

Palestinian Federation of Argentina 1. May the spirit of this Agreement, expressly violates purposes MERCOSUR's founding, as long as it poses a commercial alliance with a state that remains under military occupation for over 60 years an entire people whose inalienable rights are enshrined in international law and the United Nations Organization. In other words, press, violates rights and submit by force of arms to other people.

2. That at a time when the global trend is gradually isolate supremacist practices of the State of Israel, the ongoing violation of human rights of the Palestinian civilian population and all the standards prescribed in the Geneva Convention on treatment of the population under military occupation The MERCOSUR is in practice to reward dichas políticas aberrantes, entregándole en bandeja una legitimación a las mismas y un verdadero cheque en blanco para animarle a continuar con sus violaciones de los derechos inalienables del Pueblo Palestino.
3. Vemos con preocupación extrema el hecho que, constituyendo Israel un estado de Apartheid, ejercitado en la práctica con la construcción de carreteras para uso exclusivo de población judía, en la construcción de un muro –eufemísticamente llamado “valla de seguridad”- que tiene a estas alturas más de 700 km. de extensión, (la distancia entre la Capital Federal y la Ciudad de Córdoba) que se levanta más allá de la denominada “Línea Verde” que In theory defines Israeli territory from the territory aimed at shaping the future Palestinian State. That is, is built on stolen land outright to the Palestinian population, separated from their farmland, removing access to water sources and making it virtually impossible to develop a normal daily life for its inhabitants.

4. Its illegal military occupation, the State of Israel has more than 600 so-called "Check Points", military checkpoints hamper exclusively for civil, political and economic of the Palestinians, namely, humiliation and by crushing outright. If we speak of Buenos Aires Province, this would be 40,000 (forty thousand) foreign military checkpoints, as in the West Bank, talking about an area of \u200b\u200b5,000 (five thousand) square kilometers.

إتحاد الجمعيات الفلسطينية الأرجنتينية can imagine a trip from Buenos Aires to Rosario, to between 80 and 100 different military inspections.

5. We are greatly concerned that the wording of the FTA with the racist state of Israel, not included neither open nor covertly any reference to goods manufactured or produced in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Israel exports as manufacturing or development had occurred in Israel. That is, there is no discrimination for products that are obtained under almost slave labor conditions of the Palestinian labor and illegal settlements built outside Israeli territory. Illegal West Bank settlements are not recognized by the international community, therefore, what they will produce the State of Israel can not be considered as an Israeli, as production conditions openly and flagrantly violate the conditions of MERCOSUR itself bases its idea processing of goods. 6. Complementing the previous point and information, the European Union, which has a preferential trade treaty with the State of Israel, he informed that all goods produced in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, whether crop or product manufactured, no enjoy preferential rates do apply to the products actually made in Israel, as they have been produced under illegal occupation regime that the EU itself can not validate. 7. In the same vein, the most British Universities, which has joined the University of Berkeley in the U.S. and more than 10 English universities have decided to boycott Israeli universities academically, and they validate the occupation in Palestine and do nothing from the cloisters education so that justice prevails. Likewise, Scandinavian companies have withdrawn from alliances with Israeli companies involved in building and expanding settlements.

8. In this context it is paradoxical that the signing of the MERCOSUR-NAFTA state of Israel, and that while the world is dynamic in the sense of justice to prevail over the illegal occupation and barbarity that this entails, the Latin American trading partners are the economic and moral rescue of a pariah state increasingly in the community of nations. 9. Es en este punto donde nos gustaría preguntar: si existiera aún el sistema de apartheid en Sudáfrica, ¿el MERCOSUR estaría a las puertas de concederle graciosamente un TLC con trato privilegiado a ese régimen? Les recordamos que por estos días, el Arzobispo Sudafricano y Premio Nóbel de la Paz, Desmond Tutu, hizo llegar una carta a la Universidad de Berkeley, California, felicitándolos por haber resuelto la desinversión y el boicot al Estado de Israel, hasta tanto ese país respete los DDHH y la Ley Internacional respecto a la ocupación ilegal de Palestina que ya lleva 62 años. Muchos dirán espantados: “No es lo mismo”. Por supuesto que no es lo mismo. El régimen de segregación and oppression in Palestine, is infinitely worse and more cruel than the one developed in South Africa, in the eyes of the protagonists themselves South Africans.

إتحاد الجمعيات الفلسطينية الأرجنتينية ended up asking that this letter be taken into consideration before deciding that FTA. There is still time to amend the mess that is about to occur, validating a treaty that gives the green light and, in practice, supports a system of oppression that it takes too long.
When our MPs will vote on this project, we remind you that there are colleagues, legislators, mayors, councilors and democratically elected leaders like you, prisoners in Israeli prisons for several years without even having been prosecuted and who will join the list than 11,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, where a high percentage are children and women. If this seems a normal and plausible to be ignored, than you. We comply with lighting a warning light on an issue that seems of extreme gravity. Full respect of the international law of human rights and humanitarian law can not be just wishful thinking and a nice phrase, but emptied of its full meaning. And that is where we ask the necessary consistency when deciding, especially in a country like ours, carries on his shoulders the tragedy of a dictatorship that left 30 000 missing. If you've been horrible to have occurred here, is also horrible to happen in Palestine. Respect for human rights transcends boundaries and where are violated, the same voices condemning here, should do so to the State of Israel ceases to overwhelm the most basic Palestinian rights. confident that ultimately the best feelings of solidarity, wisdom, reason and the infinite adherence to standards guide them right to prevail in Palestine and throughout the world justice, respect for life and respect for self-determination of peoples. Do not forget that Israel voted against Argentina at the UN when discussing the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. We do not think that deserves an award, as it is an FTA. Sincerely
.
