An article of Antoine Raffoul
Israel: total boycott against total occupation
5 April 2010 | Antoine Raffoul argues that as the Israeli occupation is total and is sustained with the help of almost every institution and enterprise in the country, so must the boycott of Israel be all-encompassing and uncompromising.

A South African Christian response to the Palestinian Kairos Document
5 April 2010 | Over the Easter weekend, more than 60 South African church leaders and lay inter-faith theologians have responded to the Kairos Palestine Document, launched in December 2009 by a group of Palestinian Christians. They unequivocally reject Christian Zionism and theologies that justify the Israeli occupation, endorse the boycott campaign against Israel and denounce the links between the South African and Israeli governments. By comparing parallel experiences, they significantly conclude that conditions for Palestinians are even worse than those prevailing in South African apartheid.

Boycott "Ariel" and the Rest! All Israeli Academic Institutions are Complicit in Occupation and Apartheid
10 February 2010 | In response to the recent decision by the Israeli government to upgrade the status of the so-called Ariel University Center of Samaria (AUCS) to a full university, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) reiterates its call for a boycott of AUCS and all other Israeli academic institutions due to their complicity in maintaining Israel’s occupation, colonization and apartheid against the Palestinian people.

An article of John Pilger
For Israel, a reckoning
14 January 2010 | In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger describes the growing boycott, disinvestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. Based on the anti-apartheid campaign that helped bring down the racist regime in South Africa, BDS is becoming a catch-cry for freedom in countries whose governments continue to ignore the Palestinians’ struggle against another form of apartheid and which Nelson Mandela has described as "the greatest moral issue of our time".
