The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel warmly welcome the historic motion passed unanimously by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) endorsing the Palestinian call to boycott Israeli institutions complicit in Israel’s regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism, and apartheid.

Palestinians urge Big Thief to cancel their complicit concerts in apartheid Tel Aviv.

Dear Claudio Tapia, Argentina National Team players, management and staff, We write to you as fellow football players from the Al Khader Sports Club, near Bethlehem, in the occupied Palestinian territory. We understand you are planning a “friendly” football match with the Israeli national team on June 6. We urge you not to play this match. We write this letter as we are still reeling in pain from the loss of our teammate, 19-year-old defender Mohammad Ghneim.
Last May, activists around the world stood with us as we faced yet another massacre in besieged Gaza, resisted ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, and stood in unity against Israeli settler-colonial and apartheid attacks in our cities in historic Palestine. Yet, Western governments offered only condemnation at best, and at worst - complete inaction.
