Philly Tells RE/MAX: No Open House On Stolen Land

Philly Tells RE/MAX: No Open House On Stolen Land We call on RE/MAX International to stop selling properties in illegal settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.

We are a coalition of activists and organizations in Philadelphia, including JVP-Philly, Philly-BDS, and others, committed to freedom and equal rights for all residents of Israel/Palestine. RE/MAX Israel, a franchise of RE/MAX International, sells homes in Jewish-only settlements on illegally confiscated Palestinian land. Settlements have displaced thousands of Palestinian families in the West Ban

k and are in direct violation of international law. Their construction and growth violates the Fourth Geneva Convention (Article 49), which prohibits an occupying power from transferring citizens from its own territory to occupied territory. A 2013 report by the U.N. Special Rapporteur found that “real estate agents [such as RE/MAX International] may be held accountable for their involvement with settlements in occupied Palestine...[and] for international crimes.”

We call on RE/MAX International to establish and disseminate clear policies and guidelines for all Re/Max brokers and agents stating that they should not sell, rent, or publicize properties that are built on settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Further, members of the Re/Max network should not refer clients to brokers and agents who are involved with such illegal properties. RE/MAX International must cease profiting from the ongoing, violent dispossession of Palestinians and revoke franchise licenses from those branches selling in illegal settlements.

Israel has invited the Philadelphia Orchestra to perform there and use them to normalize the occupation of Palestine. Philly, Don't Orchestrate Apartheid!
