Standing Together is calling on international supporters to demand their governments sanction the settler organisations involved in attacks on Palestinians and the dispossession of their homes in the occupied West Bank.

Standing Together writes:

Settler violence has been painfully increasing in the West Bank. Just last week, settlers were cutting off water supply and setting fire to parts of Umm al-Kheir, a Palestinian village in the Massafer Yatta area. Palestinians continue to live under constant fear and threats and this cannot be left unchecked! 

Sign this petition to call on countries around the world to follow Canada’s lead and sanction settlers and settler organizations that are harming Palestinians!

Canada recently announced sanctions against seven Israeli individuals and five organizations for their actions against Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank. We are calling on the US, the UK, and all countries to take their lead: increase sanctions on people, organizations, and companies actively working to harm Palestinians and destabilize the West Bank! 

The organizations listed in Canada’s announcement were the following: 

• Amana Association: lobbies for and develops Israeli settlements and outposts in the West Bank
• Lehava: opposes intermarriage and assimilation of Jews and Arabs, stifles public activities by non-Jews 
• The Hilltop Youth: young Israelis who build illegal outposts in the West Bank 
• Moshe’s Farm: an illegal outpost established in 2021. 

Individuals listed in Canada’s announcement:
