San Francisco Green Party Joins Worldwide Israel Boycott

by Eric Brooks
On June 1, 2010, the San Francisco Green Party announced its joining the worldwide Israel boycott movement, with the following statement on its web site:
http://www.sfgreenparty.org/news/newsitem-start.psp?idx=1762

Resolved by the San Francisco Green Party:

Because all other nonviolent and diplomatic means of resolving the crisis in Palestine/Israel have consistently failed for over four decades, the San Francisco Green Party sees a worldwide boycott and divestment of Israel as the only remaining viable option to bringing an end to the crisis.

Therefore the San Francisco Green Party is now actively engaging in a full boycott of all purchases of products and services, the financial gains of which will accrue to any individual or entity within Israel, until Israel is in compliance with all United Nations-recognized international laws; all resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council; and, all decisions and directions by all United Nations-recognized international courts, regardless of Israel's participation in or ratification of such courts.

The San Francisco Green Party calls upon all of its members, and all San Francisco residents, businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and political parties to join in the worldwide boycott and divestment of Israel.

The San Francisco Green Party calls upon the City and County of San Francisco, by action of its Board of Supervisors and Mayor, to likewise engage in a full boycott and divestment of Israel.

The San Francisco Green Party also calls upon the United States government to immediately cease all civilian economic and material support to Israel until Israel complies with all international laws, resolutions,and court decisions.

Finally, the San Francisco Green Party demands that the United States government immediately and permanently cease all funding and material support to the Israel military.
