The BDS movement, led by Palestinians (and the rest of the world), aims to promote freedom, justice, and equality for all. It believes in the basic idea that Palestinians deserve the same rights as everyone else in the world.
Israel is currently occupying and settling on Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens, and preventing Palestinian refugees from returning to their homes. Inspired by the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, BDS is calling for action to push Israel to follow international laws.
In recent years, the global movement advocating for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel has gained momentum. But why should we support BDS? Is it just a political statement, or does it have real implications for Palestinian freedom and sovereignty?
Before we dive into why supporting BDS is crucial, let's first understand the context in which this movement operates. Palestinians have been fighting for their freedom and sovereignty for decades, facing occupation, oppression, and displacement. The Israeli government's policies and practices have consistently violated international law and human rights, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the region.
Palestinians struggle for freedom on their very own land.
The Palestinian people have been fighting for their right to self-determination and statehood. They have faced systematic discrimination, forced evictions, and violence at the hands of the Israeli government and military. The occupation of Palestinian territories, the building of illegal settlements, and the blockade of Gaza have all contributed to the worsening situation for Palestinians.
Why Support BDS?
- Non-violent Resistance:
BDS offers a non-violent means of resistance against the Israeli occupation. By boycotting products and companies that profit from the occupation, individuals and organizations can take a stand against injustice without resorting to violence.
- International Pressure:
The BDS movement has been successful in raising awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people on the international stage. By pressuring governments, businesses, and institutions to divest from Israel, BDS advocates can exert political and economic pressure to bring about change.
- Solidarity with Palestinians:
Supporting BDS is a way to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom and sovereignty. It sends a clear message that the international community stands with those who are oppressed and marginalized.
- Promoting Justice and Equality:
BDS is rooted in the principles of justice and equality. By advocating for the rights of Palestinians and challenging the discriminatory policies of the Israeli government, supporters of BDS are working towards a more just and equitable world.
As we know, boycotts have a long history as a tool for social and political change. From the civil rights movement in the United States to the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, boycotts have been used effectively to challenge oppression and injustice.
BDS has become a strong global movement, with support from free people around the world who care about humanity, unions, academic groups, churches, gen-z's, and community organizations worldwide. Since its start in 2005, BDS has made a significant impact in challenging international backing of Israeli apartheid and colonization.
In other words, supporting BDS is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom and sovereignty. By boycotting, divesting, and sanctioning Israel, individuals and organizations can exert pressure to bring about positive change in the region. It is a non-violent, morally sound, and effective means of advocating for justice and equality for all.

"How to swaddle babies in Gaza", don't be used to hearing and seeing it. Stop funding the genocide against babies, and re-think what you will buy because every cent of your money can be changed into a deadly bomb and sent to kill babies by bloody companies around you.
Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Don't buy Puma products and don't work for Puma directly or become an affiliate marketer for this bloody product.
Hundreds of protesters blockaded BAE Systems at Salmesbury Aerodrome Arms Factory in England yesterday (August 24, 2024).
The factory is complicit in the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza by producing components for the F-35 fighter jets used to bombard Palestinian civilians.
End genocide in Gaza!
Stop funding Israel's terrorism against civilians!
Stop adding more money to this genocidal entity!
Watch where your money was sent out!
Boycott Israel!

Never for a single moment of thinking that boycotts are not an effective way of punishing Israel and its minions for the genocide happening in Gaza. Boycotts have made companies lose billions globally in some cases. That is only possible because every act of resistance, including yours, is important.
They all love to make you feel powerless so they can keep seeking you their crap but you as a consumer are far more powerful than you realize. Think of child labor in the textile industry for a moment. Companies get away with this partly because we give them a market for it by not caring and buying their products anyway. That would never slide if we cut them off financially. It’s the same thing with these boycotts.

Eventbrite is complicit in Palestinian repression.
The event page for a planned fundraiser following our Labor Day march against genocide and Palestinian repression was REMOVED by Eventbrite tonight.
Does anyone want to join? Tickets can be purchased here.
Eventbrite seems to think that a fundraiser event for medical supplies and care in Gaza “could contribute to a risk of harm or incite violence.” But we see this transparent act of repression for what it is: yet another attempt at subverting Palestinian organizing efforts.
Join us in demanding the immediate reinstatement of our event page as well as an immediate explanation from Eventbrite.
