India is the largest purchaser of Israeli-made arms.

Under a far-right gov led by Modi, India & apartheid Israel also conduct joint military drills & host police & army training & exchange visits.

🧵 Let's explore military & security links between them.

As the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, India's healthcare system struggled to cope with the spread. Still, Modi's government ordered 16,479 Israeli Negev machine guns, worth $116 million.

#HealthcareNotWarfare
#MilitaryEmbargo
A 2019 report said that India is suffering from the worst water crisis in its history, and almost 600 million of its population are water-deprived.

Yet Modi's neoliberal government continue to focus on massive military trade with apartheid Israel.

#MilitaryEmbargo
Modi visited apartheid Israel in 2017. The @NYtimes reported that during this visit the far-right Indian PM procured the @NSOgroup #Pegasus software used to hack into the personal accounts of around 300 Indians, including activists, journalists & opposition leaders.
India works with apartheid Israel to co-produce weapons.

Since 2021, Modi’s far-right regime has ordered Skystriker drones - made by Israeli arms company @elbitsystems and tested on Palestinians. They will now be built jointly with India's Adani-owned Alpha Design Technologies.
Under a far-right government led by Modi, India has become Israel's partner in apartheid.

Israel field-tests its tools of repression against Indigenous Palestinians & then exports them worldwide. We call for an immediate #MilitaryEmbargo on Israel now!

A new UN published report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime,” exposes the complicity of states in enabling Israel’s livestreamed genocide against Palestinians.

Here are 4 key takeaways from the report and 4 key ways you can escalate BDS now➡️ loom.ly/a8XrDPI

Read the report ➡️ loom.ly/oPFEWAUImage
The groundbreaking report, authored by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, affirms Israel’s genocide is:

- "A collective crime" made possible by the complicity of states that have "enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel.”
- Facilitated through "direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation.”Image
1. From complicity to partnership

When some states’ complicity becomes “direct, indispensable and constitutive,” to the extent that Israel’s crimes “would not have occurred in whole or in part” without it, these states may have crossed the threshold from complicity to direct participation in those crimes.Image

Nothing less than freedom, justice and self-determination!

Palestinian civil society reacts to the Trump-Netanyahu genocidal plan with 5 fundamental points.

Read more ⬇️ loom.ly/KStXm2AImage
1) Our rights are inherent, inviolable, and non-negotiable.
2) The Israeli-US plan is coercive, colonial, and patently illegal.
3) International BDS pressure is working and the era of lawful sanctions has begun.
4) What Palestinians want from the global solidarity movement.
5) Urgent solidarity actions now to disrupt complicity: Peacefully #DisruptComplicity by ⬇️Image

Even if a ceasefire takes hold, the genocide, the famine, the repercussions of the annihilation of Gaza will not end. Israel and the US must be compelled to enact it, and they and other culprits must be held accountable for the genocide.

Together, we can and must disrupt all complicity in Israel’s “final solution” for the Indigenous people of Palestine. Together we can dismantle Israeli apartheid just as South African apartheid was dismantled. Anything less would be a failure of humanity.Image

#BDSworks

Major pension funds in Norway, The Netherlands and Denmark exclude complicit corporations implicated in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.

At the end of August 2025, the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, the largest in the world, announced it divested from 5 Israeli banks and from Caterpillar, where the fund’s major individual share was almost $2 billion (US).

aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26…Image
The fund is not off the hook, though, as is still invested in several complicit Israeli companies and remains a major shareholder of corporations, like Microsoft, RTX and Chevron, that are deeply implicated in Israel’s genocide, apartheid, and illegal military occupation. Image

Israel attacks the Global Sumud Flotilla, continues to starve Palestinians in Gaza.

Escalate peaceful disruptive action now.

#DisruptComplicity Image
Israel has begun its violent attack on peaceful activists from tens of states on the Sumud Flotilla trying to deliver aid to 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza surviving and resisting Israel’s genocide.

#DisruptComplicity Now! The BDS movement calls for escalating peaceful actions against complicit states, corporations and institutions. Let’s end genocidal Israel’s total impunity.Image
Lawful targeted sanctions are the most effective tool to stop Israel's genocide and undermine its regime of apartheid.

As apartheid Israel admits its growing isolation, the time is now to expel it from the UN and all international fora of sports, culture, and more, as apartheid South Africa was.Image

Victory!

People power stops Italy’s energy giant and genocide-profiteer Eni from exporting oil to Israel! Image
Yesterday morning, the “No Harbour for Genocide” campaign uncovered that Italian fuel, likely jet fuel, was to be loaded on the vessel Seasalvia (IMO: 9629550) at the port of Taranto, Italy, at 21:30 the same day, in order to be shipped to Israel.

Hours later, dockworkers, trade unions USB and COBAS, as well as Palestine solidarity activists in Taranto were at the port to block it.Image
This continues the historic mobilization across Italy, which in a powerful strike for Palestine on Monday under the slogan #BlocchiamoTutto (Shut it Down) have brought public transport, train stations, ports and highways to a standstill.

Already by 6pm, Eni had sent an official communication that the Seasalvia would not be entering the port.

The Seasalvia is still in the gulf of Taranto. The alert continues.Image

Israeli drone reportedly bombs boat carrying humanitarian aid to besieged Gaza.

The BDS movement calls for escalating BDS pressure to isolate genocidal Israel and compel governments to impose lawful sanctions on it now.

Read our full statement: loom.ly/OZy-zUoImage
As 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza endure and resist Israel’s forced starvation in the midst of its ongoing genocide, a ship flying the flag of Portugal and carrying humanitarian aid was reportedly bombed by military drones in Tunisian waters. Thankfully everyone on board has been confirmed safe. Logically, all fingers point to Israel, which is today among the world’s most dangerous rogue states.Image
The Palestinian-led BDS movement:

- Calls for escalating BDS pressure to isolate apartheid Israel, imposing targeted sanctions on it.
- Denounces complicit governments that have enabled Israel’s genocide.
- Calls for pressure on Tunisian authorities to investigate and seek proper accountability for this attack.
- Calls for pressure on the flag state Portugal, and the European Union, to investigate and confront this attack.Image
