No Room for Genocide: Organizing Toolkit

This July, we launched the 'No Room for Genocide' campaign, calling on global civil society to pressure governments to amend immigration and visa policies to align with international legal standards and obligations. Across the world, the demand for ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and holding it accountable for its atrocity crimes are growing. International law is clear on legal obligations of Third States to end all forms of complicity in the commission of Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), and “plausible” genocide. These include the responsibility to ensure war criminals are denied passage or haven by Third States and prosecuted for their crimes. Countering the wilful negligence of states in upholding this responsibility and responding to the Palestinian civil society call to ensure there is No Room for Genocide, small businesses in the hospitality and tourism sector as well as solidarity groups are taking courageous actions. To amplify this campaign and support hospitality business owners, ethical tourism movements and solidarity groups in taking effective action, read and share this campaign toolkit.

Israel “Disappearing to the Margins” of Horizon due to Academic Boycotts: Let’s Escalate the Exclusion from Below!

After 20 months of Israel’s ongoing livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, BDS pressure from the broad Palestine solidarity movement across European higher education is finally succeeding. In particular, academic boycott and divestment mobilizations by student and university staff have pushed Israel to the margins of the European Union (EU)’s Horizon research program–the world’s largest research program.

Boycott List

ECONOMIC BOYCOTT

The economic boycott of Israel aims to put pressure on Israel to comply with international law and to persuade private companies to end their participation in Israel’s crimes. The Israeli economy is particularly dependent on international trade and investment, making it especially susceptible to international economic boycotts. Many global companies, such as G4S and HP, profit from helping Israel maintain its system of apartheid and settler colonialism. Campaigns against and divestment from international companies increase the pressure on them to end their complicity with Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.

Cultural Boycott

CULTURAL BOYCOTT

Israel overtly uses culture as a form of propaganda to whitewash or justify its regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid over the Palestinian people. Just as South African anti-apartheid activists had called on international artists, writers and cultural institutions to culturally boycott South Africa, PACBI urges international cultural workers and cultural organizations, including unions and associations, to boycott and/or work towards the cancellation of events, activities, agreements, or projects involving Israel, its lobby groups or its cultural institutions.

Mask off Maersk

Maersk does not just support the US-enabled Israeli genocide through outbound shipping of military cargo from the U.S. to Israel. Maersk ships also carry military cargo to arms manufacturers in the US in order for these weapons companies to assemble the weapons that murder our people

BNP PARIBAS

Avec Attac et l’Association France Palestine Solidarité (AFPS), nous avons décidé de cibler la banque française BNP Paribas de par sa complicité envers le régime d’apartheid et de colonisation israélien qui occupe illégalement les territoires palestiniens de Cisjordanie et de Jérusalem Est et qui perpétue un génocide à Gaza, selon un arrêté de la Cour Internationale de Justice (CIJ). La construction et l’expansion des colonies israéliennes constituent une violation majeure du droit international. La colonisation israélienne en Cisjordanie, élément central du régime d’apartheid israélien, est un crime de guerre selon l’ONU et est à l’origine de nombreuses violations des droits humains, dont la mort de plus de 660 Palestinien·nes depuis 1 an. Quatre banques françaises, BNP Paribas, le groupe Banque Populaire – Caisse d’Épargne, la Société Générale et le Crédit Agricole, figurent parmi les dix institutions financières européennes qui ont investi le plus dans des entreprises impliquées dans les colonies illégales et dans l’armement d’Israël.
