Boycott Apartheid Israel rally

Friends of Palestine WA has called a major rally to support the international BDS (boycott, divestment & sanctions) campaign against Apartheid Israel. As the Victorian government is pushing a major crackdown on Palestine rights activists in Melbourne, it is important that we have a maximum showing here in Perth.

BOYCOTT APARTHEID ISRAEL

Date: Sat 17 September

Time: 1pm

Place: Murray Street Mall (Perth City)

What is BDS?
In 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian human rights.

Why “Apartheid”?
Israel’s regime over the Palestinian people amounts to apartheid because it displays many of the main features of the crime (including racial discrimination) as defined by international law.

Join us
Help expose some of the companies in Perth that profit from or support Israel’s violent, military occupation of Palestine.

Please come along and bring your friends. Publicity material can be downloaded below.

Why the son of an Israeli general is speaking out for Palestine

A public forum with MIKO PELED

Miko Peled is an Israeli peace activist and writer living in the US. Born and raised in Jerusalem, his grandfather was an original signatory on the Israeli Declaration of Independence. His father was an Israeli soldier in 1948 and a general during the 1967 war. In 1997 his niece was the victim of a suicide bombing.

In this forum he explains why he is speaking out against Israel’s Apartheid policies and for justice for Palestine.
