that's remarkable. over here we have banks blanking Arab, Muslim, Palestinian and Palestine Solidarity accounts.

Great news.

I've been boycotting M&S, Starbucks, Clinique, Coca Cola and Danone for a couple of years or thereabouts now.

I wish there were a really authoritative list, the one on the inminds site appears to be quite out of date.

Good! I think the entire WORLD should sever ties with those murdering scumbags!

I think this is the link for FreedomCall LTD

http://www.freedomcall.co.uk/con...uk/ contact.html

I think they do things like cheap phonecards to call abroad.

I wonder if that means it is impossible (or wildly expensive) to call Palestine via Freedom Call.

Mark - where is this that they're banning bank accounts etc.?

Thanks for that.

Alliance and Leicester closed PSC's account with no notice or explanation. Royal Bank of Scotland closed Friends of al Aqsa's account. Lloyds-TSB closed Interpal's account.

I've no doubt other explicitly Arab, Muslim and Palestinian groups and individuals have had similar problems.

It's become an unbelievable pain in the arse to donate to a Palestinian charity. At the moment, UNRWA seems to be the only legit outfit that is accepting donations. Problem with this is that I have to personally go to my bank to set up a transfer to UNRWA's bank of choice which happens to be in Jordan.

I wish Interpal had a working bank account.

Zionists have really put the squeeze on the humanitarian effort. How humane of them.

In the US, of course, one has to be aware that giving money to any Muslim or Palestinian charity can land you in jail - even if they are only declared "terrorist" later.

Shocking read. Such in the state of world we live in - to donate to the oppressor 'Palastine' can land one in prison in the US. Yet to supply drugs or sell a gun or knfe to a criminal who then uses it to inflict harm to himself or others is considered just a petty times which at times is ticked off with a caution.

I was able to donate to UNRWA through their website, which accepts visa, mastercard etc
