Greenwashing is a marketing spin that is used by countries and corporations deceptively promoting themselves as climate friendly to cover up the substantial climate harm that their policies and practices cause.
Greenwashing exacerbates the climate emergency as well as social and ecological injustices. Israel uses greenwashing to promote a climate-friendly image to cover up its decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.
Aside from apartheid Israel's regime of violent ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians and destruction of lives and livelihoods, Israel has also systematically devastated the fauna and flora of historical Palestine.
The racist Jewish National Fund (JNF) greenwashes apartheid Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by taking over their land & planting it with invasive tree species.
A @GRAIN_org report shows that companies #LRGroup, #Mitrelli, #Tahal & Netafim, which are intrinsically linked to Israel’s apartheid, impose toxic models of agriculture that promote corruption, oppression, & farmers’ dispossession across the global south.
.@mekorot_il builds water networks in Israel's illegal settlements & manages water stolen from Palestinians. By refusing to construct water networks in 45 Bedouin villages, Mekorot is part of Israel’s “water apartheid”. #COP27
Companies like @AXA and @PUMA play a key role in apartheid Israel’s greenwashing & destruction of Palestinian agriculture, dispossession, & land grabs.
Hypocrisy alert! AXA #FutureRisksReport mentions climate change as one of the main risks while AXA invests in Israeli banks financing apartheid, land-grabs and the destruction of the environment!
In September, @PUMA staged a “sustainability” conference in London as a green smokescreen to conceal its support for and profiting from illegal Israeli settlements–a war crime under international law.
Israeli agribusiness corporations & complicit institutions greenwash apartheid against the Indigenous Palestinian people and enable ethnic cleansing. They steal Palestinian land, water & other resources while forcibly displacing communities.
.@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.
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
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is back! And this year it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, #BDS@20.
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”
