Fuck Yeah, BDS

Supporting the call from Palestinian civil society to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel until Palestinians including refugees have full rights and the occupation is ended.

Challenging Anti-Boycott Legislation in the US

The Israeli regime’s defenders across the US are ramping up efforts to criminalize the constitutionally protected right to boycott.

No legitimate authority can ever stop or restrict the BDS movement.

“Tantura” Exposes the Lie at the Heart of Israel’s Founding Myth

A new documentary challenges Israel’s narrative about 1948 and the forced displacement of Palestinians.

Important film to watch if you can

The result is “Tantura,” the product of more than two years of research and interviews with dozens of those men and women, now in their 90s, about events most of them had never talked about and many of them once outright denied. In “Tantura,” named after a Palestinian beachside village near Haifa that was wiped off the map during the Nakba, Schwarz sets out to investigate the massacre of an unknown number of villagers that was carried out just a week after the establishment of the Israeli state.

The film, opening in theaters in the U.S. next month, tells a story few Israelis want to hear — “a story they don’t know what to do with,” he said — but Schwarz is not the first one who tried to tell it. In the 1990s, Teddy Katz, an Israeli graduate student, interviewed members of the IDF’s Alexandroni Brigade, the unit that carried out the massacre, and wrote a thesis based on their testimonies. He was destroyed for it, taken to court, forced to retract his thesis, and to apologize. He never got his degree. But nobody, before Schwarz, asked Katz to listen to those interviews. Armed with the tapes, years later, Schwarz returned once again to the members of the brigade, now close to the end of their lives, and asked them to speak about what one doesn’t speak about in Israel.

The film, made more vivid by unseen archival footage of the Nakba and the modern-day forensic reconstruction of a long-erased mass grave turned parking lot, is a harrowing inquiry into individual memory and trauma as they clash with the untouchable narrative of a nation that has convinced itself of its purity. It is an effort to learn the truth of what happened in Tantura, but more so a film about Israeli society and the lingering damage of its founding sin.

It’s also a story that Palestinians have never stopped telling, but there is something unique about hearing it from the perpetrators themselves. “The Palestinians know the story. They’ve been talking about it, and the world has heard from them, but the world believes the Israeli side a lot of the times, and Israelis do not admit to this story,” said Schwarz. “This is a story of Israel looking the other way.”

Video shows Ahed Tamimi interrogation in Israeli detention centre

Israeli interrogators seen taunting teen during questioning, trying to make her speak and commenting on her light skin.

At the time this video was taken, Ahed Tamimi was just 16 years old.  In my opinion, 16-year-olds shouldn’t be jailed, especially treated as an adult; but furthermore, she shouldn’t have had to undergo interrogations like this especially at such a young age.  I am impressed with her ability to maintain her composure throughout the interrogation.  I don’t understand how this interrogation is constructive to the situation and how the ultimate goal here would be to achieve peace (it clearly is not).  In addition to all of this, a 40-year-old Israeli citizen slapped a prosecutor in the Tamimi case and only got 2 days in prison.  With a situation like this, the only word that comes to my mind is apartheid.

This is why we BDS.

An all too familiar scene these days…A Palestinian family sits on the rubble of what was once their home after it was destroyed by the British in the Palestinian village of Halhoul…1936…During the 1936 Arab Revolt, the British pioneered the use of home demolishing as a form of “collective punishment” against the Palestinians, giving families mere minutes to vacate their homes before they were blown up…A practice that was adopted by the Zionists that is still used today…

The Nakba started long before 1948.

Israeli Checkpoints Many of us have very often heard about Israeli checkpoints across the occupied territories.Israel claims that these checkpoints are vital for their security. There main purpose is anything but security, infact they are just one of many other measures put in place to oppress and humiliate the Palestinian population further. These checkpoints are placed mostly between each Palestinian towns and villages. They are at times placed randomly in the middle of nowhere. Everyday the Palestinians are subjected to go through these humiliating checkpoints in order to get around. Besides the humiliation the other worst part of it is being made to wait hours before allowed access, in worst case scenario be refused entry altogether for what ever reason the Israelis see fit. These checkpoints really make life tough for Palestinians who need to get around. They are unable to get to work, visit family, attend a wedding and even respond to an emergency. These checkpoints have nothing to do with security it’s just another abuse of power. You have illegal Israeli settlers that move around freely, even harass and abuse Palestinians yet they are not subjected to go through any checkpoints. How would we find life living under these conditions. Just imagine not being able to get to work, visit family, attend a wedding or a party, go to another town, respond to even an emergency. There is no nation or people on earth that are subjected to this kind of humiliation and oppression. While you have the occupying Israelis who are enjoying a life of freedom at the same time you have the Palestinians who are living a life of a prison camp in their own land. “It’s not enough to eliminate the Palestinians, they must be humiliated as well” IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz
