Palestinian movement launches campaign to boycott Israeli-linked businesses

BDS, the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement, has launched a new Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Don’t Buy Apartheid campaign, which asks consumers to actively boycott businesses tied to Israel’s apartheid regime, The New Arab reported on March 24th.

Israel’s apartheid regime depends on its business ties around the world. Israeli agricultural exporters ship fruit and vegetables to supermarkets across Britain, originating on Israeli settlement farms and facilities built on land stolen from Palestinians, and grown or produced using resources, including water, looted from Palestinians.

When we’re not in the streets, it’s more urgent than ever we develop our boycott campaigns to take aim at the corporations that enable Israel’s settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid.
