Boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel promoted at Montreal conference

Palestine solidarity organizations from communities and movements across Quebec and elsewhere in Canada will be meeting in Montreal for a historic conference this weekend, Friday October 22 to Sunday October 24.

Carrying Forward the Moment Against Isreali Apartheid will map the future of the growing anti-Israeli apartheid movement by bringing together activists from across the country, as well as from the U.K., France, the U.S., and, most significantly, South Africa and Palestine. The intention is to assess and advance the global campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of the Israeli State until there is full justice, equality, and dignity for all Palestinians.

Though the first Anti-Israeli Apartheid week started on January 31, 2005 in Toronto, the awareness week now commonly kicks off the first week of March. Since then it has spread around the world and is observed in March.

Why Apartheid?

United Nations investigators, human rights activists and critics of Israeli policy have been comparing the treatment of Palestinians comparable to the treatment of black Africans during South African Apartheid for years. Apartheid was originally created as a legal term and involves a list of crimes against humanity.

The Palestinian Authority's "September statehood initiative" - in which the United Nations will be asked to recognize Palestine as a member state upon the convening of the UN General Assembly in September - has led to a great deal of discussion and media coverage about Palestine, self-determination and statehood. What does the statehood initiative really mean? What are its implications for the Palestinian struggle for liberation, and for the Palestinian people, inside and outside Palestine?
