今月（2023年3月）、千葉・幕張メッセで史上空前規模の武器見本市「DSEI Japan」が開催され、イスラエルから14もの企業が参加しました。
イスラエルの軍需・セキュリティ企業はパレスチナ人に対する「実地経験」を売り文句としています。日本とイスラエルの武器取引や軍事協力の強化は、国際法違反のアパルトヘイト・ビジネスに日本の市場を開くものです。
BDS Japan Bulletin (BJB)では、今、世界中で開催されている「イスラエル・アパルトヘイト週間」の一環として、武器取引反対の市民運動を地道に続けてこられている杉原浩司さんをお招きし、日本の軍事化が、イスラエルのアパルトヘイト政策といかに関係しているのか、そのことに対して日本の市民社会がどのように対抗できるのかについてお話を伺いたいと思います。

With Saleh Hijazi

As the first anniversary approaches for Amnesty International’s report on #Israel, which concluded that Israel is committing the crime against humanity of #Apartheid and is conducting systemic persecution against Palestinians, now is as good a time as ever for the world to be reminded of the content of the report and its various implications, amongst others, on international law, on the duties and obligations of the international community to uphold it, on the struggle for #Palestinian self-determination and statehood and the global campaign to stop the ongoing violations of the human rights of Palestinians.
About the speaker: Saleh Hijazi is the Africa Campaigner at the National Committee of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) the Palestinian-led global nonviolent movement working to end Israel's settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people. As Africa Campaigner, Saleh sits on the Steering Committee of the Pan-African Palestine Solidarity Network. Prior to joining the BDS, Saleh held the position of Deputy Regional Director for MENA at Amnesty International, leading the team in producing the organization's report “Israel’s Apartheid Against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime Against Humanity”. Previously, Saleh worked with Human Rights Watch and at the Al-Quds University Human Rights Clinic in Palestine. He is a member of Al-Shabaka – The Palestinian Policy Network. Saleh is a Palestinian, born and raised in Jerusalem and holds a BA in liberal arts from Lawrence University in the US, MA in human rights from the University of Essex in the UK, and a graduate diploma in social studies from the University of Bahia in Brazil.
