The First Anti-Apartheid Palestinian National Conference Call Towards a Global Front to Dismantle Israel’s Regime of Settler-Colonialism and Apartheid
On Saturday, January 21, 2023, protests across the world for the #BoycottPUMA Global Day of Action sent a strong message to PUMA’s new CEO. From Europe to Asia to Oceania, protests were held at PUMA-branded shops and retailers, where Palestinian rights supporters delivered a letter to PUMA’s CEO from players of the Palestinian football club Balata.
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a founding member of the BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition in Palestinian society that is leading the global BDS movement, calls on the Dominican Republic Ministry of Culture to cancel its planned tribute to apartheid Israel at the Santo Domingo International Book Fair.
Send Balata's letter to the new PUMA CEO Dear Arne Freundt, We are writing to you as players of the Balata Youth Club, a Palestinian football team in the Balata refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank.

Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an opportunity to globally mobilize grassroots solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom, dignity and justice. During IAW we raise awareness about Israeli apartheid and build strategic BDS campaigns in support of the Palestinian struggle to end Israel’s brutal system of apartheid, settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing.
In 2022, Palestinians faced one of the bloodiest years on record. Yet, despite apartheid Israel’s intensified repression, massacres and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians, solidarity with our liberation struggle reached new heights. As we work towards a broad, global, Palestinian-led anti-apartheid movement, we take a look back at some highlights in our struggle for Palestinian rights in the second half of 2022. Here are 30 highlights of this unprecedented solidarity:
Another Palestinian prisoner has died in custody due to Israel’s systematic medical negligence. In 2022 so far, Israeli forces and settlers have killed hundreds of Palestinians, including at least 53 children. If this is what a “moderate” Israeli government – as some Western racist, anti-Palestinian media calls it – does to us, imagine what the incoming “most far-right” government ever can be expected to do!
Inspired by the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, the BDS movement’s Apartheid Free Zones (AFZ) campaign seeks to cut links of complicity in the grave violations of Palestinian human rights perpetrated by Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation.
