Why This Campaign?
Israel's consistent and persistent violations of international law and human rights is evidenced by the political, economic and legal discrimination used against the Palestinian people. Additionally, Israel practices extra-judicial and indiscriminate killings of those protesting its policies, as is shown by its assaults on demonstrators at the Apartheid Wall and by the murder of 9 Free Gaza Flotilla participants. These practices echo what the world witnessed during the apartheid era in South Africa.
In the last few years, Palestinians and the solidarity movements in support of Palestinian rights have been successful in drawing attention to Israel as an apartheid state deserving of the same treatment as apartheid South Africa.
