Palestinians called on the world to #DisruptComplicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide between 18-21 September. The world answered.

Keep up the momentum: we call for escalating disruptive BDS actions against complicit states, corporations and institutions.

Escalate BDS actions everywhere to make Israel pay for its genocide against Palestinians and rogue criminality against humanity.

With every day that Israel starves Palestinians in Gaza and continues its horrendous genocide, it becomes more urgent to #DisruptComplicity and demand sanctions now.

Governments must immediately end their complicity with Israel’s genocidal regime by cutting trade, diplomatic, academic and other ties, starting with a comprehensive military and energy embargo.

Lawful targeted sanctions are the most effective tool to stop Israel's genocide and undermine its regime of apartheid.

As apartheid Israel admits its growing isolation, the time is now to expel it from the UN and all international fora of sports, culture, and more, as apartheid South Africa was.

Israel has begun its violent attack on peaceful activists from tens of states on the Sumud Flotilla trying to deliver aid to 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza surviving and resisting Israel’s genocide.

We call for escalating peaceful actions against complicit states, corporations and institutions.

The message is clear: stop arming Israel. The genocide-enabling UK government doesn’t get to play weapons dealer and human rights defender at the same time.

The UK Prime Minister — one of Israel’s key partners in genocide — just got handed a humiliating defeat. After bending over backwards to “manufacture consent” for his criminal line that “actually, it’s not genocide,” he is more isolated than ever on Palestine.

As a matter of life-or-death urgency, we call on all supporters, collectives, orgs, trade unions & political parties around the world to escalate the pressure & disruptive BDS actions now & demand your governments impose sanctions against genocidal Israel.

International law is clear: sanctions now.

Let’s be clear: the Spanish government is not yet implementing a comprehensive military embargo as required under international law–just see the loopholes in the next image.

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 12d

After an announcement of sanctions on Israel made by Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on September 8th, the Spanish government has finally voted a Royal Decree-Law, declaring “we are the first country to prohibit arms exports, fuel transit, and imports [...] paving the way for the EU.”

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 12d

Spanish government passes Royal Decree-Law implementing military trade-related sanctions against genocidal Israel.

Spoiler alert: it falls well short of what the Spanish state should do to meet its legal obligations to end complicity in Israel’s genocide & apartheid.
