WATCH. Giro d'Italia begins in Israel tomorrow, and is helping Israel cover up 70 years of Palestinian dispossession.
The cycling race goes through Palestinian towns & cities that Israel has destroyed & ethnically cleansed. It passes near the open-air prison that is Gaza, where Israeli snipers are implementing a shoot-to-kill-or-maim policy targeting Palestinian men, women & children peacefully protesting for freedom, dignity & their UN sanctioned rights.

Israel has evicted thousands of people from their homes as part of a campaign to push Palestinians out of their land. The Nakba never ended. Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues.
As support for the BDS movement continues to grow, so does our capacity to hold Israel meaningfully accountable for these crimes. Together we can end them.

When recent floods toppled parts of Israel’s apartheid wall in occupied East Jerusalem, Palestinian kids crossed over and … played football!

GOOD NEWS: Students at George Washington University vote to divest from companies complicit in violations of Palestinian rights!
They demand their university divest from corporations that "provide goods and services to Israeli military forces" used "to bomb hospitals in Gaza, bulldoze Palestinians’ homes, construct illegal Apartheid walls, and further suppress and violate Palestinian human rights."
They remind their university that it failed to stand on the right side of hist...ory in opposition to South African apartheid. It now has an opportunity to correct this wrong, and #DivestThisTime

"Gaza’s borderline has become a theater for artists and poets to convey a message to the world that they demand the basic liberties they have been denied for too long"
#BDS until Palestinian refugees are granted their internationally recognized, legal #RightToReturn home and to live with dignity and freedom
Amnesty International says "the Israeli army has not reversed its illegal orders to shoot unarmed [Palestinian] protesters” in Gaza, and renews its call for "governments worldwide to impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel."
42 civil society organizations from 6 countries in Asia (Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, India & Pakistan) call on the United Nations to publish its database of companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) should heed this call.
SIGN THIS PETITION to tell French insurance giant AXA People Protectors: Stop investing in Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems Ltd. and three major Israeli banks that finance Israel’s illegal settlement expansion on stolen Palestinian land.
Insurers should protect families against risks to their lives and homes, not endanger them. Axa should stop financing military rule and weapons of death.
Palestinians in Gaza participating in the Great Return March last Friday express support for BDS. They call for a comprehensive military embargo on Israel until it ends its egregious violations of Palestinian human rights.
The signs in Arabic say "Boycott is Resistance!"
The green hills in the background include lands from which Palestinians in Gaza have been forcibly expelled and to which Israel denies their right as refugees to return.

Supporters of Palestinian human rights demonstrated outside the HSBC Annual General Meeting last Friday and urged the multinational bank to #StopArmingIsrael
HSBC owns over a billion dollars (831 million pounds) in shares in arms companies selling weapons and weapons technology to Israel, a notorious abuser of human rights.
This includes shares in BAE Systems, involved in manufacturing F16 fighter jets used by Israel to attack Palestinian civilians in Gaza. And in Raytheon, w...hose "bunker buster" bombs have been used to target civilian homes in Gaza.

MORE GOOD NEWS: 150 trade unions, parties, NGOs & faith groups across 16 European countries call on European Union to stop funding Israeli arms companies until Israel ceases its egregious violations of Palestinian rights
ANOTHER BIG WIN FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS: Over 500 Latin American artists endorse the cultural boycott of Israel until it "respects the comprehensive rights of the Palestinian people under international law"
Big news! Natalie Portman has publicly refused to travel to Israel for the Genesis award, leading the entire ceremony to be canceled. In a statement she said "[r]ecent events in Israel have been extremely distressing to her and she does not feel comfortable participating in any public events in Israel” and that “she cannot in good conscience move forward with the ceremony." Israel's brand has become so toxic that even well-known Israeli-American cultural figures, like Natalie Portman, now refuse to blatantly whitewash, or art-wash, Israeli crimes and apartheid policies.
GREAT NEWS: Barnard College in New York PASSED an important #BDS resolution to divest from companies profiting from Israel's violations of Palestinians rights!
Congratulations to the student activists who made this happen, including those with Students for Justice in Palestine & Jewish Voice for Peace!
"Both opponents and supporters of the BDS movement believed that Barnard could be a bellwether."
