Zionism and Israel as an Apartheid state, and the case for boycott, divestment and sanctions. |
|
This workshop will explore both the history and current manifestation of Zionism, a racist ideology based on ethnic exclusion. Given that Israel will never willingly give up this ideology, it is our belief that an international campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions can be a powerful tool in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine
