Letter Template - argument from ICJ Opinion
Dear Sir / Madam,

As a prospective customer of your store[s] I have noted that you have several products manufactured in Israel available for purchase. You should be aware that [insert store / business name] has been featured on the New Zealand Boycott of Israeli Goods website.

You may have heard about Israel's recent military offensive against [insert resent Israeli atrocity], but you may not be aware that selling Israeli goods contravenes instruction given by the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body in the world.

Briefly, in 2004 the International Court of Justice stated that all Nation States party to the Fourth Geneva Convention are under an obligation to:
1). not render aid to Israel in maintaining the current illegal situation is has created, and
2). ensure Israel complies with the many International Humanitarian Laws it is currently violating.

More importantly, selling Israeli goods tells your customers that [insert store / business name] supports and gives tacit consent to a nation that engages in routine military aggression against civilian populations. Furthermore it tells your customers that [insert store / business name] supports and gives tacit consent to Israel's massive human rights violations and Israel's disregard for International Law.

I urge you to join a growing worldwide campaign in boycotting Israeli goods. In the same way that the world employed a boycott of South Africa to end its cruel Apartheid system, a worldwide boycott of Israel can help bring about an end to the conflict in the Middle East and restore justice and human rights to the millions of people currently suffering under Israeli Occupation.

Removing Israeli products from your shelves until such a time that Israel fulfils its obligations as determined by the International Court of Justice in 2004 tells your customers that [insert store / business name] respects the opinion of the highest judicial body in the world. It also tells your customers that [insert store / business name] cares about human rights and about bringing about a resolution to the worlds oldest and most insidious conflict.

I look forward to hearing your response. Should you need further details on the issues I raised, I would be happy to refer you some sound unbiased resources.

Regards,
