Body - Saturday's vigil commemorated those Palestinian children killed
while playing football. From September 2000 to December 2006 869
Palestinian children have been killed, a quarter of those were under
twelve. Every month an average of fourteen will die. Many have been killed
just playing football.</p>
<p>
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Boycott Israeli Goods campaign and Jews
For Boycotting Israeli Goods, who participated in the vigil outside the
FA, are responding to calls from Palestine and calling for a boycott of
Israel until it complies with international law and universal principles
of human rights. On 9 June, 2005, a coalition of Palestinian Civil Society
Organisations issued a "call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against
Israel until it complies with international law’.</p>
<p>
The vigil signals the start of a larger campaign in protest against
Israel’s inclusion in Euro 2008. England are scheduled to play Israel in
London this September.</p>
