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.

BREAKING: 14 tons of military supplies to Israel are blocked after designating them as part of a just-exposed illegal arms trafficking scheme through Italy’s port of Ravenna, Italy!
Stop the illegal military transfers that fuel Israel’s genocide, apartheid and illegal military occupation against the Palestinian people now!
The Italian Court of Appeal confirmed the seizure of a 14-ton load of weapons components (cannon pieces) produced by Valforge, a company in Lecco, at the port of Ravenna, which were to be embarked for transport to Israel. They were blocked after reports that they lacked the necessary export licence.
The cargo contained 800 metal pieces classified as armament material, with the recipient the Israeli company IMI Systems Ltd., a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military company.
The decision of the Italian Court of Appeals has revealed 4 other shipments by Valforge during 2024 made to Ashot Ashkelon Industries, an offspring of IMI Systems.
Ashot Ashkelon Industries has seen its share price skyrocketing by 250% in the last years as the Israeli Ministry of Defense showered it with contracts.
Moroccan activists and port workers obstruct the docking of the Nexoe MAERSK, part of the MAERSK fleet shipping US military supplies for Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
#MilitaryEmbargo #MaskOffMAERSK
Meant to arrive yesterday, the Nexoe MAERSK is still circulating at sea and expected to attempt docking again this evening, April 19.
We salute the steadfastness of the Moroccan people and port workers who refuse to be complicit in the illegal transfer of U.S. military cargo—fueling Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and apartheid against all Palestinians.
.@Microsoft is a new BDS priority target. Here's why you should boycott @Xbox and pressure your institutions to exclude Microsoft from its contracts. #BoycottXbox
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.
