Today marks a watershed moment as the UN deadline for Israel to end its occupation of Palestine passes. Twelve months on, Israel’s military might in occupied Gaza has brought the livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians to unimaginable horrors, and accelerates the ethnic cleansing and annexation. Yet, bar a handful of states, most have failed to start addressing these obligations. Israel is now officially a rogue state and must be treated at least as apartheid South Africa was.
The BDS movement calls on you to immediately escalate our existing call for lawful and targeted sanctions by joining our #DisruptComplicity Global Weekend of Action, 18 – 21 September.
As a matter of life-or-death urgency, Palestinian civil society calls on you to block highways, ports, and facilities of complicit corporations — to end business as usual with a rogue, apartheid state and its livestreamed genocide.
We are calling on you to stage mass protests at ministries and parliaments to demand a military embargo, the suspension of trade and academic ties, and the suspension of Israel from the UN, to organize strikes and work stoppages, where possible and reasonable, to escalate boycott campaigns against BDS priority targets, including disruptions at stores and offices, and to launch and support intersectional campaigns — pushing universities, unions, hospitals, and councils to exclude war-profiteering companies from contracts.
The BDS movement, with its tens of millions of supporters in over 120 countries worldwide, will not stop until we end Israel’s genocide and until Palestinians everywhere can exercise self-determination and enjoy freedom, justice and equality.
