FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On March 23, 2017, the Spanish leftist political party Podemos declared its support for the right to advance the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement for Palestinian rights. On March 30, a BDS campaign in Spain released the following statement. (Read the statement in Spanish here.)

Jewish Voice for Peace executive director Rebecca Vilkomerson isn't your typical BDS activist: she spent three years in Israel, is married to an Israeli and has relatives in the West Bank. Despite many critics in the organized Jewish community, she says JVP is thriving in the Trump era and doesn't need the establishment's stamp of approval.

Dear Professor S. James Anaya,

World football body will soon have to resolve the status of six Israeli football teams based in the occupied West Bank.

UK academics express dismay at the attempts to silence campus discussion about Israel, including its violation of the rights of Palestinians for more than 50 years.
