The Council of the University of the Republic of Uruguay voted unanimously on a motion pledging no ties with the Jerusalem office of Uruguay’s National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII). Image
The motion calls to close the Jerusalem ANII office hosted at Hebrew University, which is complicit in Israel's colonial apartheid regime & partially built on stolen Palestinian land, and for the university to disclose information on all ties with complicit Israeli institutions. Image
The motion further calls on the Law Faculty to assess whether ties with complicit Israeli institutions is in breach of the legal requirements of the ICJ rulings that Israel is plausibly committing genocide and that its presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is illegal. Image

.@Disney's Snow White features Gal Gadot as the evil queen.

Gadot has consistently acted as a cultural ambassador for Israel, even hosting screenings of an Israeli military propaganda film that seeks to justify its live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Boycott Disney's Snow White movie! Featuring genocidal Israel's cultural ambassador Gal Gadot.
By choosing to directly represent genocidal Israel, Gal Gadot’s films are boycottable. BDS targets institutions, not individuals. Where individuals represent Israel, their activities are subject to the institutional criteria of the BDS movement.
We deeply appreciate that lead actor Rachel Zegler has publicly expressed support for Palestinian liberation, but that is not sufficient to undo the harm done by the inclusion of Israel's cultural ambassador, Gadot, in the film.

Academy members are among more than 100 film workers calling on the Oscars to drop Gal Gadot from the ceremony. forms.gle/E7QUdghy45xJbD…BREAKING: Academy members urge Oscars to drop Gal Gadot as presenter
In an open letter, prominent figures including Deepa Mehta, Mira Nair and Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir say that "the Academy must take a firm stance against complicity in oppression."
"Gadot has openly and repeatedly expressed her support for Israel's military actions against Palestinians," which is "especially troubling in light of the International Court of Justice’s determination that there is a plausible case for genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza.

Dear @Reebok,

You might want to check with PUMA, adidas, and Erreà before going ahead with the Israel Football Association sponsorship.

Sincerely,
BDS
ps: #BoycottReebok Image
@Reebok PUMA, following a 5-year global boycott campaign, leaked news in December 2023 that it would not renew its contract with the IFA in a clear response to the boycott and to distance its brand from Israel's #GazaGenocide and underlying apartheid regime. Image
@Reebok adidas, did not renew its contract with the IFA in 2018, following a global campaign led by Palestinian sports teams and the delivery of 16,000 signatures to its headquarters. Image

Boycott Berlinale.

The Berlin International Film Festival remains deeply complicit in the German government’s partnership in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Our pressure on Berlinale is having impact - let's keep it up!
Under massive pressure from filmmakers, organisers, and audiences, Berlinale just published long statements trying to do damage control – but failed to meet our campaign’s demands.
Meanwhile, filmmakers continue to withdraw from the festival and alternative, genocide-free festivals are popping up all over the city, showing the depth of support for boycotting Berlinale.

Palestinians call to boycott @CaptainAmerica: Brave New World, @Disney's Snow White movie, @DisneyPlus subscriptions, and @Marvel merchandise!
Captain America: Brave New World, released this week, is reviving the anti-Palestinian racist character of Sabra AKA Ruth Bat-Seraph, who since appearing in Marvel comics in the 1980s has represented the Israeli government and occupation forces.
As Palestinian film & arts orgs said: "by reviving this racist character in any form, Marvel is promoting Israel’s brutal oppression of Palestinians." Marvel & Disney are complicit in "Israeli propaganda & the glorification of settler-colonial violence against Indigenous people."
