Now that an independent United Nations Commission of Inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the urgency to uphold Palestinian livelihoods has never been greater.
The West Bank, too, is under siege – with daily raids, mass arrests, land confiscation, expanding settlements, and escalating settler violence carried out with impunity. Livelihoods are being dismantled, and entire communities pushed to the brink – even as they continue to sow hope and resilience into the soil.
Let’s join them in nurturing that hope – and turn our outrage into meaningful action. Here’s how you can stand in solidarity today.
1. #BuyPalestinian
With the Medjoul date harvest in full swing and the olive harvest approaching, Fairtrade Fortnight (starting 22nd September) is a timely reminder that our choices matter.
By choosing ethically sourced olive oil, Medjoul dates, roasted almonds, soap or other produce, you are directly helping sustain farms, families, and communities under pressure. Every purchase matters.
2. Raise Awareness
Histories, present realities, and first‑hand stories need to be heard.
Use verified sources to share the truth with friends, family, your community – or online.
Amplify the voices of those most affected. Let people know why you’re doing this. Your journey and story matters too – and you never know who it might inspire.
3. Gather for Palestine
Cook, eat, share, raise funds, and raise awareness. Food brings people together, and Palestinian cuisine is rich with stories of land, resistance, and culture. We stock a range of Palestinian cookbooks to inspire your next meal and gathering.
4. Strengthen the movement through everyday actions
While we’re not a political organisation, every act rooted in solidarity counts.
Advocate with kindness. Buy ethically. Support small producers. Keep the conversation going.
If you feel called to do more, consider:
– Writing to your MP
– Signing petitions
– Attending peaceful demonstrations
Every act strengthens the call for justice, equality, and peace.
5. Donate – Emergency Humanitarian Appeals
If you’re able, consider supporting trusted organisations delivering aid on the ground:
Medical Aid for Palestinians
Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Doctors Without Borders (MSF)
