As Israel’s decades-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid continues to escalate its ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing, a new wave of solidarity with the Palestinian people is spreading globally. Many people are learning for the first time about the historic 2005 Palestinian civil society call to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) Israel until it complies with international law. In this guide, we lay out the movement’s basics, best practices, and some helpful tips and ideas for strategic BDS campaigning.

Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. The nonviolent, anti-racist BDS movement upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity. BDS campaigns are driven by the moral imperative to do no harm, and to ensure the companies, institutions, and governments we work for or can influence are not contributing to the denial of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.

This July, we launched the 'No Room for Genocide' campaign, calling on global civil society to pressure governments to amend immigration and visa policies to align with international legal standards and obligations. Across the world, the demand for ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and holding it accountable for its atrocity crimes are growing. International law is clear on legal obligations of Third States to end all forms of complicity in the commission of Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), and “plausible” genocide. These include the responsibility to ensure war criminals are denied passage or haven by Third States and prosecuted for their crimes. Countering the wilful negligence of states in upholding this responsibility and responding to the Palestinian civil society call to ensure there is No Room for Genocide, small businesses in the hospitality and tourism sector as well as solidarity groups are taking courageous actions. To amplify this campaign and support hospitality business owners, ethical tourism movements and solidarity groups in taking effective action, read and share this campaign toolkit.

“The repeated non-critical recitation of false, dehumanizing Israeli propaganda by western media is not sloppy journalism - it is war propaganda and incitement to #genocide for which they must be held accountable as their media counterparts were in the Nuremberg & Rwanda tribunals.”
