Tariq Ali puts the case for a total boycott of Israel outside the Israel Embassy in London – 10 January 2009
Israel operates a system of racial Apartheid against its non-Jewish inhabitants and has been illegally occupying Palestinian land in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights since 1967. It has sought to further annex these lands and has systematically transferred its own civilian population into these occupied territories in contravention of
international law. Israel continues to build the illegal Apartheid wall, annexing vast swathes of Palestinian land in the West Bank and creating Palestinian ghettos, despite the ruling of the International Court of Justice that this is illegal.
180 Palestinian organisations and unions have called for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Apartheid Israel – I urge you to consider supporting this campaign.
