signing a petition will not free palestine but pressuring your community, local government, university etc to participate in BDS and participating in BDS yourself helps put economic pressure on israel to follow international law! learn more at http://bdsmovement.net !

this is a great way for americans to get involved! this can look like making sure you don't buy anything on the list, pressuring institutions to divest and pressuring local police forces and the us military to stop working with israel. us police are trained by israeli police.

i'd really recommend dr. angela y davis' book freedom is a constant struggle to see how the palestinian struggle for freedom relates to what is happening in the us and how we can stand in solidarity with them.

oh can't leave this thread without mentioning how bds is inspired by the tactics used in the anti-apartheid movement.
