* SACP SACP Statement, 22 May 2012* **
*SACP welcomes DTI announcement on labelling of goods from Israel*The SACP welcomes and support the announcement by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Cde Rob Davies on the labelling of goods that come from Israel and specifically those originating from the Palestinian territories. This will also allow South African consumers to make a choice on whether they want to buy goods produced from the blood of the Palestinian people.
The initiative by the South African government assists us to correctly understand the extent of trade between South Africa and Israel, and specifically goods produced under slave-like conditions in oppressed Palestine. This will also help to bring to the fore the inhumane and illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory and its continued encroaching of Palestinian land. As the SACP we are for the boycott, divestments and sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights.
Palestinian workers' rights under the current dispensation are violated and the inhumane, illegal occupation is an indictment of everything a free and democratic world stand for.
In the period of the observance of the /nakba /we call for the strict adherence of the United Nations decisions around the 1967 borders and for the destruction of the apartheid wall. The SACP working with progressive forces will continue mobilising for solidarity action in order to free Palestine and her people.
