Israeli Fascist Pogroms Against Palestinians Flare Up in the Illegally Occupied West Bank
We need you to channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic BDS action now.
"Action Alert
While continuing its genocide in Gaza, Israel has accelerated its ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Apartheid Israel’s military occupation forces have shielded Israeli settlers while they terrorized Palestinian communities, murdering, burning, and injuring hundreds. In a brazen display of impunity, Israel’s genocidal forces have launched massive collective punishment operations across the territory, committing more war crimes and enabling pogroms.
Following the Israeli settlers’ murder of four Palestinians defending their homes in Tell village near Nablus, the Israeli military imposed a suffocating lockdown and executed large-scale raids on the cities of Nablus and Jenin and surrounding villages. At least two Palestinian women were forced to give birth in vehicles at checkpoints, and one woman lost her unborn child due to road closures in Nablus. Dozens of Palestinians have been arrested and detained.
Emboldened fascist settlers have torched and defaced mosques with racist slogans, and bulldozed thousands of olive trees. This is all orchestrated with the fascist Israeli government's plan to expel as many Indigenous Palestinians as possible from their homes, often handing those homes to settlers or converting them into army barracks.
Since October 2023, while committing an ongoing genocide that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel’s occupation forces have murdered at least 1,111 Palestinians – at least 243 of them children – in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Tens of thousands have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
This is part of Israel’s deliberate policy of ongoing Nakba–the logical extension of the settler-colonial apartheid system that was established in 1948 and governs all of historic Palestine today. It is built on dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and denial of our refugees’ UN-stipulated and inherent right to return to their lands and receive reparations.
To maintain business as usual with the genocidal state of Israel or any of its complicit companies and institutions is to be complicit too.
We call on you to join BDS groups and solidarity partners in your countries to:
Shut It Down – Peacefully disrupt the institutions and corporations complicit in Israel’s genocide. Organize strikes (when feasible), walkouts, boycotts and sit-ins. No business as usual under genocide.
Expand Apartheid-Free Zones – Demand your university, workplace, union, city, or church cut ties with apartheid Israel and respect BDS guidelines.
Pressure Governments to Impose Lawful Sanctions on Israel – These accountability measures, which must include a comprehensive military embargo, are a legal obligation for all states following the ICJ decisions in 2024.
Build Broad-Tent Coalitions - Intersectional anti-racist coalitions for justice are needed now more than ever.
Amplify Palestinian Voices – Showcase Palestinian culture, popular resistance, and visions of liberation through film screenings, art exhibitions, teach-ins, and public discussions."
