BDS Guide to Strategic Campaigning for Palestinian Rights
As Israel’s decades-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid continues to escalate its ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing, a new wave of solidarity with the Palestinian people is spreading globally. Many people are learning for the first time about the historic 2005 Palestinian civil society call to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) Israel until it complies with international law. In this guide, we lay out the movement’s basics, best practices, and some helpful tips and ideas for strategic BDS campaigning.
BDS Corporate Complicity Criteria
Corporations that are implicated in the commission of international crimes connected to Israel’s unlawful occupation, racial segregation, and apartheid regime - within or beyond the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 - are all complicit and must be held accountable. Direct complicity includes military, logistical, intelligence, financial, and infrastructure support. The corporations and their boards of directors and executives may face criminal liability for this complicity.
Ethical Investment Policy

One Month after the ICJ Order, Israel Continues its 142 Day-Long Genocide on Gaza
In the month since the ICJ ruling, Israel has continued its genocidal military campaign on Gaza with intense bombardment and attacks from air, land, and sea, resulting in the killing of 3,524 Palestinians and the injury of 5,266 others, and ongoing mass displacement and destruction. Israeli officials have further continued to show their intent to commit genocide, including with plans to conduct a ground invasion into Rafah, where 1.5 million Palestinians are displaced. The delivery of aid has declined since the Court ruling, as Israel escalated its delegitimization campaign against UNRWA. Meanwhile, Israel continues to deliberately attack hospitals, pushing the health sector out of service, while using starvation as a weapon of war.
