Palestinian Workers and Solidarity
From the river, to the sea, Palestine will be free!
Workers rights has no borders and the struggle and lives of Palestinian workers are the focus of this forum. Palestinian journalists have been targeted by Israeli snipers in increasing numbers. At the same time, Palestinian workers face brutal slave-like discriminatory conditions, not only in the occupied lands, but also inside the state of Israel (Historic Palestine). Unions throughout the world have supported an end to the occupation of the Palestinian lands and equal rights for all. This forum will directly report on the struggles of Palestinian workers and how U.S. workers can build solidarity with our brothers and sisters in their struggle for labor and human rights.

“Israeli Company Targeted by Oakland Blockade Imports Ammunition Into US”

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)
“Representatives of Palestinian civil society launched the BDS movement in 2005. They called 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 ... [including] embargoes and sanctions against Israel."”
“The call for BDS specified that "these non-violent punitive measures" should last until Israel fully complies with international law by (1) ending the occupation and colonization of all Arab territories and removing the barrier wall; (2) affirming the human rights of Israel's Arab-Palestinian citizens to full equality; and (3) affirming the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their land as required by UN General Assembly Resolution 194.”
“BDS was a major factor behind the 46 percent decrease in foreign direct investment in Israel in 2014, according to a UN report. A World Bank report revealed that Palestinian imports from Israel dropped by 24
percent in the first quarter of 2015.”
