Any Israeli company involved in such activities should not be rewarded with contracts by representatives of the Scottish people. By ending all Eden Springs contracts, we want the Scottish Parliament to send a message to the world that Scottish people do not condone Israel's illegal occupation and endless violations of international law."

• Support Derry Anti War Protesters

  Sign the petition here

  Raytheon is the fifth biggest arms manufacturer in the world. It manufactured the 100 GBU-28 bunker buster bombs urgently flown by the United States to Israel at the height of the destruction of Lebanon by the Israel Defence Force. Among the many services Raytheon has performed for Israel is supplying electronic equipment for the apartheid wall being built on Palestinian land. The National Lawyers Guild of the US has accused Raytheon of being 'implicated in the commission of war crime'.

  On 9 August 2006 the Derry Anti-War Coalition organized a non-violent occupation of Raytheon's plant in the Ulster Science and Technology Park. This followed direct action that has been mounted by anti-war protestors against US military planes at Shannon airport in the South of Ireland and Prestwick airport near Glasgow. The Derry protestors decommissioned computer equipment used by Raytheon to produce software for its weapons systems.

  Nine of them were arrested by the police, among them Eamonn McCann, well-known as a civil rights activist and campaigning journalist. They have been charged with aggravated burglary and unlawful assembly. These are very serious offences that could mean the accused could be denied the right to trial by jury under British security legislation prevailing in the north of Ireland.

• PETITION AGAINST THE CITIZENSHIP LAW

  Israel's Citizenship Law is a racist law that was passed on temporary order in July 2003. This law prohibits citizenship to the spouses of Israeli citizens who are from the West Bank and Gaza, and acts retroactively. The law has effectively split 21,000 families up until this point. Furthermore, the law stipulates that children of such couples who choose to live with their Israeli parent will be forced to leave the country when they turn 12 years old.
