The MERCOSUR and Apartheid Israel

an Alliance stained with Palestinian blood

At the end of July, the MERCOSUR - the most important bloc in Latin America - is to sign its second Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It will sign it with Israel, the state that has expelled us from our lands, has violated all Palestinian rights and international law for over 50 years and is now enclosing the remaining Palestinian population in ghettos between 8 meter high walls. The Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign calls upon activists and movements in South America to stop this agreement. No other move could have stained the Mercosur with more blood caused by brutal military occupation and apartheid.
