We the undersigned petition the council to invest its money in an ethical way that does not harm vulnerable people in other parts of the world. This includes the Palestinian people.
Haringey Justice for Palestinians are calling on the borough council and demand that you follow through on your ethical commitments and divest the Haringey Local Government Pension Scheme from all companies complicit in Israel’s violations of international law and Palestinian rights. This includes companies:
- That operate in, or with, illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
- Supply the Israeli military with weapons, components and other technology used to oppress Palestinians.
- Provide technology and equipment used to maintain Israel’s infrastructure of military occupation, such as its checkpoints and the apartheid wall.
Research published by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC)
has uncovered LGPS funds collectively hold at least £3.2bn in
companies complicit in Israel’s grave breaches of
international law and Palestinian human rights.
Haringey Pension Fund holds investments in Elbit Systems,
Israel's largest arms manufacturer, and in Caterpillar, who produce
the bulldozers used by the Israeli military to demolish homes,
schools, waterpipes and other key infrastructure, in order to make
way for illegal Israeli settlements.
