Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces.
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations.
The #BDS movement for Palestinian rights is a key part of our popular resistance and the most effective and strategic form of solidarity with our nonviolent struggle for freedom, justice and equality.
Let’s hold Israel’s decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid to account. You can help dismantle apartheid and contribute to ending Balfour’s colonial and inherently racist legacy.
TAKE ACTION:
Intensify all #BDS campaigns, pushing for #MilitaryEmbargo on Israel, canceling all complicit events in Israel and boycotting all goods and services of Israeli & international companies & banks that are complicit in Israeli war crimes & crimes against humanity.
