📌 New publication: in a context of growing Israeli attacks against Palestinians, we are grateful to @PalStudies for helping us shed further light on the #persecution of Palestinian civil society as part of the crime of #apartheid #StandWiththe6 palestine-studies.org/en/node/1653268 1/6 
Together with @JamilahRG @Susanrosepower & @pearceclancy, we argue that "#silencing & delegitimization of Palestinian human rights advocacy, as epistemic violence, constitute key tools to entrench Israeli #apartheid over the Palestinian people as a whole" 2/6
We draw on Article 2(f) of the 1973 Apartheid Convention, which recognizes as an inhuman act of apartheid the “#persecution of organizations & persons, by depriving them of fundamental rights & freedoms, because they oppose #apartheid” #StandWiththe6 3/6
We argue that "Through the weaponization of 'terrorism' smears, the Israeli regime seeks to discredit decades of Palestinian antiapartheid knowledge production, mobilization, activism & advocacy for Palestinian liberation" 4/6
Overall, our monograph highlights the importance of lending support to the work of Palestinian civil society, rejecting the baseless designations by the Israeli occupying authorities & elevating the experiences of Palestinians who are directly affected by Israeli #apartheid 5/6
This monograph is a part of @PalStudies's Current Issues in Depth Series & collaboration with @aardi_org. Many thanks to the team at #IPS, particularly Stephen Bennett for all the tremendous work on this publication. @JamilahRG @Susanrosepower @pearceclancy #StandWiththe6 6/6
