Want to support Palestinian freedom, justice and equality?
Join #IsraeliApartheidWeek 2016
Each year, Israeli
Apartheid Week (IAW) takes place in more than 150 universities and
cities across the world. With creative education and
action, IAW aims to raise awareness about Israel’s regime of
occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid over the Palestinian
people and build support for the nonviolent Palestinian-led Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
In response to
the impressive
growth of BDS in the last few years, Israel and its
right-wing allies in the west have launched repressive,
anti-democratic attacks on the movement and the right to boycott,
instead of fulfilling their obligations to end Israel's violations of
international law. This makes this year's #IsraeliApartheidWeek more
crucial than ever.
Check out apartheidweek.org and

events in different cities are being added all the time, so do check

Notice
Ahmad Manasra, 13 years old, was shot and injured by a settler this Monday in occupied East Jerusalem, along with his cousin Hasan, 15 years, who died of his wounds. The settler alleged that the boys charged at him with a knife although there is no credible corroboration of this allegation. 15 year-old Hassan died of his wounds. The video shows Ahmad, struggling for breath and crying, while an Israeli settler films him and shouts profanities at him and the boy stays on the ground without receiving any medical help.
