Palestinian Civil Society Calls for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel Until it Complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights July 9, 2005
- In light of Israel’s persistent violations of international law; and Given that, since 1948, hundreds of UN resolutions have condemned Israel’s colonial and discriminatory policies as illegal and called for immediate, adequate and effective remedies; and
- Given that all forms of international intervention and peace-making have until now failed to convince or force Israel to comply with humanitarian law, to respect fundamental human rights and to end its occupation and oppression of the people of Palestine; and
- In view of the fact that people of conscience in the international community have historically shouldered the moral responsibility to fight injustice, as exemplified in the struggle to abolish apartheid in South Africa through diverse forms of boycott, divestment and sanctions; and
- Inspired by the struggle of South Africans against apartheid and in the spirit of international solidarity, moral consistency and resistance to injustice and oppression;
- We, representatives of Palestinian civil society, call upon international civil society organizations and people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era. We appeal to you to pressure your respective states to impose embargoes and sanctions against Israel. We also invite conscientious Israelis to support this Call, for the sake of justice and genuine peace.
- These non-violent punitive measures should be maintained until Israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law by:
- 1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall
- 2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and
- 3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

BDS ETF
I support BDS, and do not buy from the companies target of boycott. However, as many people, I keep most of my savings in ETFs on the stock market.
I would like to know if there is an ETF that excludes companies that are target of BDS boycott and divestment? Something like an S&P 500 minus those companies?
Because it makes no sense not buying a burger from McDonalds, but having McDonalds stock.
Also, a BDS ETF could be a powerful tool for increasing pressure on those companies, as investors that support BDS could safely and easily move away from them.
Thank you,

We've had a Sodastream for years but stopped using it because we no longer wanted to purchase refills. We found this Quebec-based brand called Indigo at our local Rona here in Vancouver.

Why is it so hard for other ppl to boycott?
In the past 3 months I've been to several cities where I met my family and friends and I genuinely can't understand why most of them don't boycott? Mind you all of them are muslims and are quite caught up with everything that's going on in Palestine but they simply DON'T CARE. I am not that good of a person in general or as a muslim but I feel so bad when I see ppl i know and care abt be so dumb, ignorant and pathetic. How hard is it to buy an alternative soft drink for example or even order from a local restaurant? Why do they act so carefree? I AM SURROUNDED BY DUMB PPL AND IM SO PISSED OFF. When I see my own friends and family not boycott, seeing a change on other strangers sounds unimaginable.
