The Palestinian civil society call for for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel

The Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions Campaign National Committee (BNC)

http://bdsmovement.net/

The broad consensus among Palestinian civil society about the need for a broad and sustained Campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) resulted in the Palestinian Call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel that was launched in July 2005 with the initial endorsement of over 170 Palestinian organizations. The signatories to this call represent the three major components of the Palestinian people: the refugees in exile, Palestinians under occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the subjugated Palestinian citizens of the Israeli state.




The efforts to coordinate the BDS campaign, that began to grow rapidly since the 2005 call was made public, culminated in the first Palestinian BDS Conference held in Ramallah in November 2007. Out of this conference emerged the BDS National Committee (BNC) as a coordinating body for the BDS campaign within Palestine. The goals of the BNC are:




• To strengthen and spread the culture of Boycott as a central form of civil resistance to Israeli occupation and apartheid;
• To formulate strategies and programs of action in accordance with the 9 July 2005 Palestinian Civil Society Call for BDS;
• To form the Palestinian reference point for BDS campaigns worldwide;
• To form the national reference point for the anti-normalization campaigns within Palestine;
• To coordinate the various BDS campaign efforts in all locations;
• To organize a yearly conference of the organizations and initiatives involved in the BDS campaign.

Saturday, April 23 saw the mounting uprising against the Assad regime finally reaching the Syrian capital Damascus where reports 300,000 – 15 percent of the city's dwellers – took the streets shouting: "Bashar Assad you are a traitor!" That day too the Syrian ruler unleashed his security forces for the harshest crackdown yet

.The result: 350 dead, tripling the number of Friday's bloodbath and thousands of injured.

One day, Inshallah, the Europeans will send the children they don't have, to liberate Palestine.

I am not talking about simple thing as national service (instead of army service) that arabs refuse to do..

@petersz98

Those "Palestinians" who are Israeli citizens receive all the services. All the local level - they do not pay (usually ) taxes to local authorities, and them whine that they don't receive money from the central government.

Most of the arabs in Israel leach on national security services (wealthfare) while working without paying taxes. Or practicing monogamy while "wives" receive money a single mothers.

@cyberbeastie

"Palestinians do not pay taxes to Israel". Err.. I think they do! For example those who are Israeli "citizens" definitely pay taxes and then receive little or no services no lighting, electricity or refuse collection. Those in Jerusalem are "residents" they cannot vote but pay taxes but again receive no services ie. there is only one ATM machine in East Jerusalem but dozens in West Jerusalem. Hope this helps you with your ignorance!
