A message from Jo Fallshaw—owner of Fallshaw Group

Fallshaw Group is part of the International BDS (boycotts, divestments and sanctions) movement, where companies of good conscience refuse to buy and sell to Israeli owned companies (and companies and organisations facilitating the illegal military occupation) while they are in breach of the United Nation’s resolutions and the International Court of Justice and Internation Criminal Court rulings regarding genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

However, we are conscious that sometimes Palestinian companies operate from Israel-Palestine, and some Israeli companies have active and deliberate policies to foster multiculturalism and equality that have no part in Israel’s actions. We do not penalise companies that share our human rights values.

If you are an Israeli or Palestinian company that has tangible human rights policies and practices, then please call or email us, and we’ll have a conversation and make sure you are not subject to collective punishment in our trading policies.

For the avoidance of doubt, we recognise and value the many Jewish Voices for Peace and are grateful for their friendship and solidarity. Our criticism is solely directed at the actions of the State of Israel and is in no way antisemitic.

We wish for peace and goodwill to all.

On a personal note

Despite the October ceasefire being declared, and the Israeli hostages returned, Israel continues to severely restrict aid at less than half the agreed levels, murder Palestinians almost daily, occupy 53% of Gaza and continue to hold 9,000 Palestinian polical prisoners in torture prisons.

The residual Palestinians who have so far survived the genocide (likely only 1.8 million from the original 2.3 million before the slaughter began) are still malnourished and homeless. The deliberate destruction of Gaza's water distribution, sanitation, housing and healthcare systems means disease is now rife.

Israel is restricting the flow of aid to deliberately restrict calorie intake, and dairy, meat, fresh and other nutritious food are still in terribly short supply. They are also restricting the entry of tents — despite having destroyed the vast majority of housing to render Gaza a post apocalyptic luner landscape.

All people of good conscience should be speaking up to stop this catastrophe.

'Never again' meant 'never again' for everyone.
