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.”
