Good news! In Belgium, 482 professors and researchers, and more than 190 artists, have written an open letter calling on their authorities to withdraw from participating in a European Union funded research project called LAW TRAIN, in which Belgium and Spain cooperate with the Israeli National Police. The project, aimed at developing joint interrogation methods, is coordinated by an Israeli university with particularly deep ties to Israel’s army and notorious security services.

Portuguese civil society successfully pressured their authorities to withdraw from LAW TRAIN in July 2016 – marking the first time a government withdrew from an EU funded project following civil society pressure in support of Palestinian rights. Belgium civil society aims to achieve the same.

Belgian police has confirmed that it intends to question former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni at her arrival in Brussels today for suspected war crimes. Livni is listed as a speaker at a European Parliament event taking place later today. However it is no longer clear whether Livni will participate in the event as her name has been removed from the official event website.

Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.

Today, as tens of thousands of people in the United States prepare to protest Trump’s inauguration and his racist, hateful and dangerous politics, we at the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) express solidarity with all vulnerable communities who stand to face the brunt of his administration’s violence and bigotry. We know that together we can, and must, create a much kinder future — one that guarantees freedom, justice and equality for all... people, irrespective of identity.

The photo below is not a hopeful one. The xenophobic and racist far-right around the world is banding together. So must we, the rest of humanity that cannot afford to wait for their fatal policies to destroy our world. Soon, the streets of Washington DC and cities beyond will fill with a colorful assortment of demonstrators and dreamers, with the many who are in fact intent on building something hopeful and joyous. It is alongside them that we too will build for racial, social, economic, gender and climate justice—for a life that is worth living.
