PACBI's Position on No Other Land

Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI)

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) has from the start reached the conclusion that this film indeed violates the BDS movement’s anti-normalization guidelines in several ways. The BDS movement has always fought against normalization as a powerful weapon employed by oppressors to whitewash their crimes, to colonize the minds of the oppressed, and to undermine global solidarity with the struggle to end oppression.

PACBI

On January 1, 2025, Italian sportswear company Erreà will enter into a sponsorship contract with the Israel Football Association (IFA) as Israel escalates the unspeakable horrors of its genocide in Gaza. Erreà will take over from the German multinational PUMA. In December 2023, PUMAleaked news that it would not be renewing its contract with the IFA following a 5-year global boycott campaign over the IFA’s complicity in Israel’s decades-long apartheid regime and military occupation, and more recently, its Gaza genocide.

Palestinians Call to Boycott Normalizing “Healing” Symposium That Harms Struggle for True Freedom, Justice and Equality

PACBI

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) - a founding member of the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest entity in Palestinian society that leads the global BDS movement - sent this letter to ReSource on September 24. Since that time, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza has increased to more than 42,000 and injured to at least 99,000. Considering that ReSource still insists on crossing the Palestinian picket line, we call on our supporters in Ireland and the students of Burren College of Art to boycott the symposium hosted by ReSource, Towards Cultures of Healing & Seeing with New Eyes: Making Trauma Visible, which will be held from October 23 - 26.
