Palestinians Call to Boycott Normalizing “Healing” Symposium That Harms Struggle for True Freedom, Justice and Equality

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) - a founding member of the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest entity in Palestinian society that leads the global BDS movement - sent this letter to ReSource on September 24. Since that time, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza has increased to more than 42,000 and injured to at least 99,000. Considering that ReSource still insists on crossing the Palestinian picket line, we call on our supporters in Ireland and the students of Burren College of Art to boycott the symposium hosted by ReSource, Towards Cultures of Healing & Seeing with New Eyes: Making Trauma Visible, which will be held from October 23 - 26.
