Holding important meetings, lamenting bad things, urging people to do good things. The same routine for 20 months. And all the while the arms exports continue, the surveillance flights continue, trade and investment continues, normal diplomatic relations continue. Complicity in genocide continues.

Israel is starving Palestinians.

BDS calls on all supporters to immediately escalate peaceful disruption and other forms of BDS pressure on states and the UN to force Israel to end the genocide and the siege of Gaza now.
