Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions

In 2005, over 170 organizations from Palestinian civil society appealed to the world to impose a strategy of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on Israeli institutions in an attempt to move the Israeli government to respect Palestinian rights. For an in-depth look at BDS, visit our primary BDS page: CJPME Boycott Centre.

Forced Expulsions and Illegal Settlements

Israel's colonial project depends on the displacement of Palestinians and the continuous refusal of their right of return. By displacing Palestinians from their homes and ensuring they cannot return, Israel makes space for Israeli settlers in Israel proper and in illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Anti-Palestinian Racism

Anti-Palestinian racism is a specific form of discrimination that aims to silence Palestinian voices in service of Israel's settler-colonial project and apartheid system. The term anti-Palestinian racism is relatively new and CJPME is working hard to produce resources on the topic.

Because anti-Palestinian racism is highly related to anti-Arab racism, Islamophobia, and a misunderstanding (or ignorance) of Palestinian history, resources on these related topics are included.

CJPME acknowledges that our offices, located in Montreal, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk), whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.  CJPME recognizes the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka as the customary keepers and defenders of the St. Laurence River Watershed and its tributaries. We honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.  Further, CJPME respects and affirms the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land. CJPME has and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty we have made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.  CJPME also acknowledges the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes that its work should contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
