Kenne Mwikya talks about Israel's ties with "conservative and anti-freedom elements" of Kenya.

People's solidarity lies with the Palestinian people, as both Africans and Palestinians have been under some form colonial oppression through history.
.@Nawajaa : Divestment and boycott campaigns are working. We hope sanctions against Israel will start from Africa, which can then have a rolling effect.

We know the BDS movement is working because Israel is trying to delegitimize and sabotage it but is failing at it.
.@Shokispeare "The GSR called for a resolution to recognize Israel's regime as apartheid and target sanctions including a military embargo

..it is our obligation to guarantee that our governments meet these demands across the African continent"
"We are building the network across the Global South to build coordinated, synchronized & effective action

We want to have all 54 African countries represented at a rally like this next year!" .@Shokispeare
Rev. Kolade "The Palestine situation has called our Christianity into question.

From Kairos Nigeria we are questioning pilgrimage that does not respect human rights, the pilgrimage that is one sided and supports Israeli occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people."
Maureen Kasuku, Kenya "We are bringing feminists across the continent on board with the BDS campaigning.

I hope that the Global South campaign and all African countries can form a formidable BDS movement"

BREAKING: The City of Sydney Council (Australia) has become the first New South Wales Council to adopt a BDS motion.

The council confirms it has no business with companies complicit in Israeli settlements. Image
This victory came after a comprehensive audit of all investments and contracts against the UN database of companies involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, the backbone of the occupation. Image
“This motion paves the way for councils right around Australia to exclude complicit companies from their procurement and investment practices, and take a stand for human rights and against Israeli apartheid and occupation.” - @BDS_Australia Image

On Wednesday, February 5, the verdict will be delivered in the case of Moroccan activist Ismail Lghazaoui.

Join us in demanding his immediate release!

#Free_Ismail_Lghazaoui. Image
Ismail's "crime"? Calling for protests against the docking of ships carrying US military equipment for Israel’s genocidal forces. #Free_Ismail_Lghazaoui. Image
Ismail’s tireless advocacy for the Palestinian cause and his unwavering commitment to the #BDS movement reflect the conscience of millions who oppose their regime’s shameful normalization with apartheid genocidal Israel and demand justice for Palestinians. Image

Chile’s airforce rescinded a contract with Israel’s ImageSat International.

It is immoral, illegal and reckless to conduct business with Israel’s military companies, which are part of Israel’s ongoing genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

When Chile signed the US$ 120 million contract for 10 image capturing satellites, Israeli company ImageSat International (ISI) had convinced the Chilean authorities they would “enter a new space era.”

4 years later, only the first satellite was launched and failed miserably on its most important task– transmitting high quality images for Chile.

Chile decided: No results, no money, and closed the project. The other 8 satellites will be produced nationally.Image
ImageSat, a company established by Israel’s state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in the 90s, was privatized to the FIMI Opportunity Funds which is an Israeli conglomerate invested in arms production, security and surveillance.

As Israel’s biggest private investment fund, FIMI is also the biggest profiteer from Israel’s regime of occupation, apartheid and now genocide.Image

The BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets. Image
Boycott and pressure these companies now for their complicity in Israel’s occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians. Ending all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel is more urgent than ever. Image

"Why is (company name) not a BDS boycott target?" Image

Today, on UN Human Rights Day, in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we call on our supporters to heed the Palestinian call for action.

Take action now! Together, let’s end this!

loom.ly/XQFQLgkImage
Adopted only days after the UN passed the illegal and unethical Plan of Partition of Palestine 76 years ago, the Declaration has been systematically violated by Israel throughout its existence as a settler-colonial apartheid state. Image
PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE MILITARY EMBARGO.

This isn’t a choice but a duty: Sanctions on Israel were voted for by a global majority of 124 states on 18 September at the UN General Assembly. Image
