This weekend marks four important dates in the calendar of our struggle for freedom, justice and equality. Friday, 8th December: We commemorate 36 years since the beginning of the 1st Intifada of 1987. A collective and inclusive movement spread from Gaza across historic Palestine calling for boycotts, strikes, and popular resistance to end Israel's colonial rule.
Policies to enact solidarity with Palestine: passing a resolution through your city council or union
Activists in cities and rank and file union members across the US are looking for ways to express solidarity with Palestine within their institutions, and enact policies to put solidarity into action.
Your urgent action is needed! US-funded and supplied Israeli warplanes have resumed the deadly bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in the besieged and occupied Gaza Strip. The BDS movement calls for intensifying mobilizations worldwide against apartheid Israel, including peaceful disruptions of all business-as-usual.
Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza have been enduring a horrific genocide. Israel’s pace of killing of Palestinians has had “few precedents in this century”. Entire neighbourhoods have been flattened; hospitals targeted; 1.7 million have been displaced; and starvation has been used as a weapon of war.
HP. PUMA. Marvel. These companies already support or provide cover for Israel’s regime of military occupation and apartheid, making them complicit in its war crimes. Now, they are enabling Israel’s genocidal war that has killed at least 13,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 5,500 children, and its ongoing military and settler attacks across all of historic Palestine. Israel may now pause its bombing, but it has vowed to resume it.
Global outrage and solidarity with Palestine have been decisive in forcing the US-Israel genocidal axis to accept a temporary suspension of Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped in the besieged and occupied Gaza Strip. The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS movement, calls for more pressure now to impose a complete ceasefire and lifting of Israel’s slow-genocide siege.
21 November 2023 - PRESS RELEASE
Millions of you have taken to the streets for the largest protests the world has seen in the last 20 years! We are grateful to each one of you who, through your voices and creative actions, have built up unprecedented grassroots power to end Israel’s genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in the besieged and occupied Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition in Palestinian society, strongly condemns the genocide enabling statement by Josep Borrell on behalf of the European Union. By parroting Israel’s genocidal and baseless propaganda that Palestinian civilian facilities are used as “human shields,” the EU is effectively giving Israel a bright green light to destroy more hospitals, schools, buildings and bakeries, massacring even more Palestinian civilians.
Palestinian trade unions call on their Indian counterparts to reject any agreements with Israel’s apartheid regime that would facilitate the replacement of Palestinian workers with Indian workers as part of Israel’s policy of besieging the Palestinian population. If it goes through, the proposed agreement will deepen India's complicity in Israel’s grave abuses against the Palestinian people.
