NEW REPORT: EVIDENCE OF RACISM AND SEGREGATION AT ISRAELI HOSPITALS |
The annual #IsraeliApartheidWeek campaign may have ended, however, sadly, Israeli Apartheid continues.
Israeli Apartheid requires our consistent and long-term activism, campaigning, boycotting, protest and lobbying. The non-violent boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign is based on the long-term, consistent and previously successful boycott of Apartheid South Africa. The internatioanl isolation played a significant role in challenging and ending South African Apartheid, BDS is proving to do the same in terms of Israeli Apartheid!
