<p><span style="font-size:medium">The escalating violence in Jerusalem is heartbreaking, and the Israeli government’s recent announcement that it was building another <b>1,000 settlement homes in occupied East Jerusalem</b> only adds more fuel to the fire.

To do that, we need your help </span><b><span style="font-size:medium">stopping the Denver-based real estate company RE/MAX from selling homes in settlements. </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium">RE/MAX is selling homes in settlements that are widely accepted as violating international law. Israeli settlements have displaced thousands of Palestinian families and are a direct hindrance to the peace process. We’ve asked Chairman of the Board Dave Liniger to halt the selling of settlement properties by RE/MAX’s Israel franchise, but the company has failed to take action. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:medium">This new campaign is part of the <b>Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement</b>, a call by Palestinian civil society groups to boycott companies and institutions that are complicit in Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestinian land. The BDS movement is a non-violent way to hold Israel accountable for its violations of human rights and international law.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium">As we have seen with SodaStream and Ahava, the BDS movement is experiencing victories across the world. But Palestine is still occupied and the settlements are growing. If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to join the global struggle for Palestinian rights. </span></p>
