The Russell Tribunal is to be commended for calling to account those who share responsibility for the continuing devastation of Gaza -- Julie Christie, actress, activist and patron of the Palestine Solidarity CampaignThis excellent book presents compelling evidence of corporate complicity in Israels violations of international law -- Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace laureateLike the landmark Russell Tribunal on Vietnam, this examination of the forces that maintain the epic injustice in Palestine is timely and critically necessary -- John PilgerThe Russell Tribunal on Palestine brings together vital documentation for understanding how big business supports illegal Israeli practices. A very important book -- Ghada KarmiThis Tribunal surely helps prevent the crime of silence in the pressing case of Palestine -- Tony Simpson, Bertrand Russell Peace FoundationA weapon for those who are compelled by human decency to mobilise solidarity in order to overcome one of the greatest injustices of modern times. It speaks out against the crime of silence - one of Bertrand Russells immortal injunctions! -- Ronnie Kasrils, writer, activist, former South African government ministerThis report from the Russell Tribunal is essential reading. Many of the corporations that trade with Israel have manifestos and Human Rights commitments that, they claim, inform their business decisions. The Tribunal tests these claims and finds them wanting.
