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"

Moroccan activists and port workers obstruct the docking of the Nexoe MAERSK, part of the MAERSK fleet shipping US military supplies for Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

#MilitaryEmbargo #MaskOffMAERSK
Meant to arrive yesterday, the Nexoe MAERSK is still circulating at sea and expected to attempt docking again this evening, April 19. Image
Image
We salute the steadfastness of the Moroccan people and port workers who refuse to be complicit in the illegal transfer of U.S. military cargo—fueling Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and apartheid against all Palestinians. Image

Europe’s hypocrisy and full partnership in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians are accelerating the collapse of the rule of law – which will pose a serious threat to all justice movements.

This has to unite us all. Image

Amid Israel’s ongoing massacres in Gaza, the prime minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, traveled to Jerusalem to stand shoulder to shoulder with the key architect of Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Through this visit, the Greek government is demonstrating its deep complicity with Israel’s regime of genocide, settler-colonialism, and apartheid.Image
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition that is leading the global BDS movement, salutes the actions of solidarity groups in Greece to hold their genocide-enabling government accountable.

There must be no normalization with war criminals!Image
To fulfil their obligations under international law, States must be pressured to end economic and financial links with Israel, stop academic and other forms of cooperation, cut diplomatic ties, and support expelling Israel from the United Nations and other international bodies. Image

This Palestinian Land Day: Resist.Rise.Decolonize.

Despite Israel's genocide and apartheid, Palestinians will never give up our refugees' right to return to our ancestral lands.

loom.ly/LdhV-7UImage
As we mark the 49th anniversary of Land Day, we commemorate all of the Palestinians murdered in Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million of our people in occupied Gaza. The Indigenous people of Palestine will continue our struggle for liberation and for the return of our refugees to their ancestral land despite the genocide.Image
On this day in 1976, Israel’s apartheid forces murdered six Palestinians (all “citizens”) as they took part in nonviolent protests against the relentless settler-colonial theft of their land. Every March 30th, Palestinians everywhere commemorate Land Day, affirming our steadfastness and unwavering commitment to our land, and to our right to return and receive reparations.Image

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
