Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is back! And this year it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, #BDS@20.
IAW 2025 coincides with the 20th anniversary of the BDS movement - two decades of steadfast popular resistance, intersectional solidarity, and fighting state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s settler-colonial apartheid regime.
IAW will launch on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21st and will include Palestinian Land Day on March 30th going into April 2025. This year’s theme will be “People Power Makes Apartheid History”
On Wednesday, February 5, the verdict will be delivered in the case of Moroccan activist Ismail Lghazaoui.
Join us in demanding his immediate release!

Ismail's "crime"? Calling for protests against the docking of ships carrying US military equipment for Israel’s genocidal forces. #Free_Ismail_Lghazaoui.
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.
Chile’s airforce rescinded a contract with Israel’s ImageSat International.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.
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.
The BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We have been calling for and enacting pressure on states and international institutions to fulfill the bare minimum of their legal obligation to end complicity by imposing lawful, targeted sanctions on Israel.
On 5th December, 2024 the world’s largest human rights organization, Amnesty International, added its voice to states, UN experts, and thousands of legal scholars and historians who have reached the same conclusion.
