    Support a Boycott

    Current
      Support a Boycott of Israel state representatives, Israeli academic institutions and others that support Israel’s war crimes: There is now an established body of evidence that Israel is an apartheid state. In 2022 Amnesty’s report “Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel system of domination and crime against humanity”, they identified; “Israel’s intent to create and maintain a system of oppression and domination over Palestinians” and outlined evidence to support this in four key areas: “territorial fragmentation; segregation and control; dispossession of land and property; and denial of economic and social rights.” This view is becoming so irrefutable that it is also shared from within Israel itself; in 2021 Jerusalem based B’Tselem published the report; “A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid” The Student union should demand; That Birkbeck end with immediate effect all relationships with Israeli academic institutions; including university sponsored partnership programs as well as collaborative research projects between schools and research institutes. That Birkbeck Implement a University-wide boycott of artists and speakers supporting the Israeli occupation and its crimes against the Palestinian people, Israeli state representatives, with a policy of no-platforming at lectures, events and conferences.
