Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces.
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations.
The #BDS movement for Palestinian rights is a key part of our popular resistance and the most effective and strategic form of solidarity with our nonviolent struggle for freedom, justice and equality.
Let’s hold Israel’s decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid to account. You can help dismantle apartheid and contribute to ending Balfour’s colonial and inherently racist legacy.
TAKE ACTION:
Intensify all #BDS campaigns, pushing for #MilitaryEmbargo on Israel, canceling all complicit events in Israel and boycotting all goods and services of Israeli & international companies & banks that are complicit in Israeli war crimes & crimes against humanity.

Europe’s hypocrisy and full partnership in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians are accelerating the collapse of the rule of law – which will pose a serious threat to all justice movements.
Amid Israel’s ongoing massacres in Gaza, the prime minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, traveled to Jerusalem to stand shoulder to shoulder with the key architect of Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Through this visit, the Greek government is demonstrating its deep complicity with Israel’s regime of genocide, settler-colonialism, and apartheid.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition that is leading the global BDS movement, salutes the actions of solidarity groups in Greece to hold their genocide-enabling government accountable.
There must be no normalization with war criminals!
To fulfil their obligations under international law, States must be pressured to end economic and financial links with Israel, stop academic and other forms of cooperation, cut diplomatic ties, and support expelling Israel from the United Nations and other international bodies.
As we mark the 49th anniversary of Land Day, we commemorate all of the Palestinians murdered in Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million of our people in occupied Gaza. The Indigenous people of Palestine will continue our struggle for liberation and for the return of our refugees to their ancestral land despite the genocide.
On this day in 1976, Israel’s apartheid forces murdered six Palestinians (all “citizens”) as they took part in nonviolent protests against the relentless settler-colonial theft of their land. Every March 30th, Palestinians everywhere commemorate Land Day, affirming our steadfastness and unwavering commitment to our land, and to our right to return and receive reparations.
BREAKING: The City of Sydney Council (Australia) has become the first New South Wales Council to adopt a BDS motion.
The council confirms it has no business with companies complicit in Israeli settlements.
This victory came after a comprehensive audit of all investments and contracts against the UN database of companies involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, the backbone of the occupation.
“This motion paves the way for councils right around Australia to exclude complicit companies from their procurement and investment practices, and take a stand for human rights and against Israeli apartheid and occupation.” - @BDS_Australia

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”
