On July 9, 2005, the first anniversary of the
International Court of Justice ruling on the
illegality of Israel’s Wall, over 170 Palestinian
civil society organizations issued a Call for Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) to be directed against
Israel until it complies with international law and
universal principles of human rights. This conference
will examine why Israel’s policies towards
Palestinians are apartheid policies. It will explore
the role activists can play to respond to the
Palestinian Call for BDS, and to help create the kind
of pressure that will be needed to move the region
“beyond apartheid.”
