| Free Palestine - Boycott Apartheid!
On Saturday the 3rd of September 2005 activists used the qualification game Switzerland against Israel for an action with banners. Four people with two banners saying 'Free Palestine - Boycott Israel' ran onto the playground to draw attention to the situation of the Palestinians.

For decades the palestinian people are suppressed, chased away,
tortured an killed by the government , the police and the military of
Israel. The whole world mostly just watches these crimes.
In a following press release the activists expressed that they want to
show with this action their solidarity with the struggle of the
Palestinians and to call for a boycott of Israeli products, because the
economical relations with foreign states are an important source of
money for the state of Israel to continue the crimes against the
Palestinians.

"With a great anger we watch the newest development in the Middle East: the state of Israel wants us to believe that they give in, they give up the settlements in Gaza and withdraw from Palestinian territory. The truth is that the state of Israel only gives up some less important territories in Gaza to be able to keep the way more important settlements in the westjordanland, which is also Palestinian territory. Those territories are more important because of the struggle for fertile land and water in this region. Like this the palestian people should be kept in dependency of Israel and stay controllable.
We are not willing to accept the politics of apartheid of the state of Israel and the support of these politics by the Swiss government and we fight together with the Palestinian people until Palestine is free and the world is a place without exploitation and oppression!"
