ACTION ALERT: SC Legislators Tour Illegal Israeli Settlements, Sign the Petition

PROTEST SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATORS VISITING ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS

Pro-settler tour of West Bank whitewashes system of apartheid

In December 2014, a delegation of twelve South Carolina state legislators traveled to Israel on a business promoting mission. They also visited illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. State Representative Alan Clemmons (R-Horry County) led the group that visited the Israeli settlements of Efrat and Shomron at the behest of the right-wing settler group the YESHA Council.  Since returning, some legislators have misrepresented the situation in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank based on one-sided and very skewed impressions they received from visiting the Israeli settlements.

TAKE ACTION! SIGN THE PETITION asking SC Legislators to Recognize the Illegality of Israeli Settlements in the West Bank and Israel’s Apartheid Policies Toward Palestinians
