The Call for Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions against Israeli Occupation and
Apartheid is the call issued by the Palestinian Grassroots
Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, which represents a number of major
Palestinian civil society organizations and over 60 regional popular
committees .
The main goals of the Call for Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions are:
-
To support the Palestinian struggle.
-
To reveal to the world the true nature of Israel’s occupation and apartheid practices.
-
To give human rights a real value by making Israel accountable and forcing it to pay a price for its crimes.
-
To reveal and highlight the responsibility of the international
community in supporting Israeli crimes that relentlessly violate
Human Rights and International Law.
Above all, to end international support for Israeli Apartheid and Occupation, since
Apartheid can never survive without external
assistance.

Free Jerusalem – Stop Connex and Alstom!
The Grassroots Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign calls upon citizens, NGOs and civil society groups to stand up and demand the immediate cessation of the involvement of French companies Alstom and Connex in the expansion of settlement infrastructure around Jerusalem.
The companies form part of a consortium that won a 2002 tender put out by Israeli authorities for a light rail transportation project amounting to around 500 million euros. The companies will be responsible for operation and maintenance for the next 30 years.

An Alliance stained with Palestinian blood: Stop the MERCOSUR - Israel trade Association Agreement!
At the end of July, the MERCOSUR - the most important bloc in Latin America - is to sign its second Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It will sign it with Israel, the state that has expelled us from our lands, has violated all Palestinian rights and international law for over 50 years and is now enclosing the remaining Palestinian population in ghettos between 8 meter high walls. The Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign calls upon activists and movements in South America to stop this agreement. No other move could have stained the Mercosur with more blood caused by brutal military occupation and apartheid.

The Campaign has published numerous documents highlighting
the Apartheid nature of the Wall and Israel. The Wall is today the
most evident expression of Israel’s Apartheid nature, aiming to
complete the Bantustanization of Palestine and the Palestinian
people. These documents also emphasize the lessons to be learned
from the successful solidarity movement that supported the South
African struggle against Apartheid.
The documents collected below show the horrifying similarities between Zionist and South African
Apartheid policies and the tremendous speed with which Israel is realizing the last step of Zionist
Apartheid ideology, a level the south African regime never reached – final expulsion and destruction
of the native population. They further highlight the experience of the
International Anti-Apartheid Movement and the growing call to
Isolate Israel until it ends the Occupation and its Apartheid Policies.
The documents are listed under the following titles:
