Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions ag. Israel- March 30, New Brunswick, NJ

[Ellen Rosner]

There will be an action in solidarity with the Global Day of Action for Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) against Israel: Monday, March 30 5 - 7 pm In front of Bank of America, corner of George and Albany St, New Brunswick, 08901 [for more info about the action pls e-mail me off-list.] The mobilization coincides with the Palestinian Land Day, the annual commemoration of the 1976 Israeli massacre of Palestinians in the Galilee in struggle against massive land expropriation, and forms part of the Global Week of Action against the Crises and War from March 28 to April 4. We urge the people and their organizations around the globe to mobilize in concrete and visible BDS actions to make this day a historic step in this new anti-apartheid movement and for the fulfillment of the rights and dignity of the people and the accountability of the powerful. In our March 30thBDS actions, we will particularly focus on: * Boycotts and divestment from Israeli corporations and international corporations that sustain Israeli apartheid and occupation. * Legal action to end Israel?s impunity and prosecute its war criminals through national court cases and international tribunals. * Canceling and blocking free trade and other preferential agreements with Israel and imposing an arms embargo as the first steps towards fully fledged sanctions against Israel. The time for the world to fully adopt and implement the Palestinian call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions is NOW. This campaign has to become an urgent part of every struggle for justice and humanity, by adopting widespread action against Israeli products, companies, academic and cultural institutions, sports groups, international corporations supporting Israeli policies of racism, ethnic cleansing and military occupation and pressuring governments for sanctions. It must be sustained until Israel provides free access to Gaza, dismantles the Apartheid Wall and ends its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands; recognizes the right of the Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and respects, protects and promotes the rights of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties.
