 Why Boycott Divestment SanctionsPublished by the College and University Workers United (C.U.W.U) On July 9, 2005, one year after the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared Israel‘s wall and settlements built on occupied Palestinian territory to be illegal, over 170 Palestinian civil society organizations urged the world to adopt a campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israeli institutions. This rapidly growing campaign aims to block the political, military and economic support that allows Israel to continue to violate international law. Among its demands are a comprehensive boycott of all Israeli academic and cultural institutions until such time as Israel withdraws from all the lands occupied in 1967, including East Jerusalem ; removes all its colonies from those lands ; agrees to United Nations resolutions relevant to the restitution of Palestinian refugees’ rights ; and dismantles its legalized and institutionalized system of racial discrimination, a system of apartheid, as defined by the United Nations. |
