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.
Amnesty International, the largest international human rights organization finds that, based on policies, actions, and omissions since 7 October, 2023, Israel is committing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in besieged and occupied Gaza.
Amnesty now adds its voice to states, UN experts, and thousands of legal scholars and historians who have reached the same conclusion.
Most importantly, Amnesty calls on states to impose targeted and lawful sanctions on Israel including:
“Immediately suspend the direct and indirect supply, sale or transfer, including transit and trans-shipment, to Israel of all weapons, munitions and other military and security equipment, including the provision of training and other military and security assistance”
To “use all economic, political and diplomatic tools at their disposal” to ensure that Israel stops the genocide, ends its illegal occupation, and its apartheid regime is dismantled.
Strauss Group forced to sell Sabra Dipping Company due to dipping sales!
The Strauss Group, a complicit Israeli multinational food and beverage corporation, has been forced due to a very effective boycott, to sell off its shares in the US-based company, Sabra, which mass produces the culturally-appropriated popular Arab dip, hummus, and other dips.
Since 2008, Sabra has been co-owned by PepsiCo and Strauss. Sabra sales in the US suffered a massive blow following intensified boycotts in 2023 and 2024 in light of its parent company’s complicity in supporting Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians.
