Union Motion on Twinning Abu Dis with Camden

The construction by the Israeli state of a wall, over 650 km in length and up to 25 feet in height, running on Palestinian land in the West Bank.
That this wall cuts off about 50% of the West Bank, running through towns and villages, separating people from their jobs and families, hospitals and schools.
That the cost of this wall is around $2.8million per kilometre.
The ruling made in July 2004 by the International Court of Justice in The Hague that the wall is illegal and should be dismantled.
That the wall runs through the town of Abu Dis , in east Jerusalem.
That 'friendship links' have begun between the people of Abu Dis and people who live and work in Camden.

That this wall will not be a temporary security measure, but a permanent fixture that will lead to the expulsion of Palestinian people from their homes and permanent annexation of Palestinian land.
That a campaign to twin Camden with Abu Dis can both help to highlight what the wall will mean for Palestinians, and can be a way to offer solidarity and support to those affected by and opposing the construction of the wall through their town.
