Israeli forces, fully supported and armed by the US and other western powers, have massacred within hours over 400 Palestinians–most murdered while sleeping.
In a grave escalation of their genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians, they have shattered the recent, already fragile ceasefire, carpet bombing the illegally occupied and besieged Gaza Strip.
Entire families have been wiped out. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Gaza is burning once again. The humanitarian situation is dire, as supplies are running out due to the ongoing blockade of any aid and electricity imposed by Israel, all while facing acute food, fuel and medicine shortages.
In anticipation of more massacres, Israel is already distributing further evacuation orders throughout the Gaza Strip. All across the West Bank, as well as in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, the US-Israeli genocidal axis is escalating its massacres and its simultaneous destruction of international law.
This is an ongoing genocide, armed, aided and assisted by the US, Germany, the UK, the European Union and other colonial powers. People of conscience around the world must act NOW!
Mass Mobilizations and Pressure Campaigns. Organize now!
March 21 is the anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre—when the South African apartheid regime gunned down 69 Black protesters. It is also the International Day for the Elimination against Racism and the start of Israeli Apartheid Week 2025.
The BDS movement calls for global mobilization on or around this date! Organize and join protest marches and other peaceful actions to end state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid. From Sharpeville to Gaza, we know that their atrocities and crimes can be stopped and their regimes of colonial violence and oppression defeated! It took a global movement to support South Africans in dismantling apartheid, and it will take a global movement to support Indigenous Palestinians in stopping the US-Israeli genocide and dismantling Israel’s underlying, decades-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid.
We. Can. End. This.
TAKE ACTION:
1. PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE LAWFUL SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE MILITARY EMBARGO.
This isn’t a choice but an ethical and legal duty. Sanctions on Israel are a legal obligation for all states, following the ICJ decisions in 2024. They were voted for by a global majority of 124 states on 18 September 2024 at the UN General Assembly.
2. TAKE TO THE STREETS TO PRESSURE GOVERNMENTS TO END COMPLICITY.
Join millions who are marching and peacefully disrupting business-as-usual to pressure governments, corporations and institutions to end their complicity in Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
3. FOCUS ON BDS PRIORITY TARGETS AND CAMPAIGNS.
Join us and build strategic boycott campaigns against companies among the BDS movement's priority targets and campaigns. Demand that your university, city council, trade union, church, cultural center, business, among other spaces and institutions, respect the BDS guidelines and declare themselves Apartheid Free Zones.
4. DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF APARTHEID ISRAEL FROM THE UN, FIFA, THE OLYMPICS, AMONG OTHERS.
As Israel continues its genocide in Gaza and its brutal aggression in the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria, it has systematically killed hundreds of UN staff and destroyed many UN schools and facilities in Gaza, mostly run by UNRWA. It has bombed UN peacekeepers in Lebanon with white phosphorus. It’s long overdue to kick Israel out of the UN and all international fora, especially the Olympics and FIFA.
Demand your governments to take action at the UN and send an email to the President of the United Nations General Assembly calling for apartheid Israel to be suspended from the UN, as apartheid South Africa was.
