How Can I help?
Getting involved in the BDS movement is the primary way to help Palestine and Palestinians. It is a human rights movement that was formed in 2005 by Palestinian organizations, unions, and civil society groups, and its purpose is to pressure Israel to comply with international law. BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction.
You as an individual can participate by first practicing boycotts of Israeli sporting, cultural, and academic institutions complicit in the regime, and of Israeli and international companies engaged in the violation of Palestinian human rights. The specific companies that are strategic targets to focus on boycotting are as follows: Israeli fruits and vegetables, AXA, HP, Puma, SodaStream, Ahava, Sabra, and Pillsbury.
