Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions

In 2005, over 170 Palestinian organizations, associations, coalitons, political parties, unions and other Palestinian civil society bodies made a public call to impose a strategy of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until its complies with international law and respects Palestinian human rights and self-determination. BDS advocates an inclusive, non-violent,and anti-racist approach that includes the call to end the occupation of Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Heights and the dismantling of the apartheid wall, the recognition of fundamental rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel and the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
For an in-depth look at BDS, visit our primary BDS page: CJPME Boycott Centre.

Apartheid

Apartheid is the establishment and maintenance of a system in which one racial group dominates another racial group to systematically oppress them. Israel exercises a system of apartheid against Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories and in Israel through a series of discriminatory laws and policies that privilege Jewish-Israelis. See the resources below to further understand Israeli apartheid.

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.

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.
