Clear forensic evidence shows how colonization continues. The guide lists "names, addresses, profit margins, and zones of activity of the corporate web that sustains this injustice."
Through understanding comes better ways to intervene. Activists are given detailed information in nearly 400 pages. The material exposes the anti-Semitism canard. Occupation, repression and exploitation have no religion or ethnicity.
Decades of colonization continue because it's profitable. The guide frames it as "an international economic and cultural dynamic that we can identify in our own countries, on our streets and in our own homes."
Nonetheless, resistance offers hope and change. "(I)nformation is action." Grassroots solidarity can end Israeli apartheid, militarism, occupation and repression. BDS activism unites global civil societies to do it collectively. It explains:
"The key lesson learned from South Africa is that, in order for world governments to end their complicity with Israel's grave and persistent violation of human rights and international law, they must be compelled to do so through mass, well organized grassroots pressure by social movements and other components of civil society.""In this context, BDS has proven to be the most potent and promising strategy of international solidarity with the Palestinian people in our struggle for self determination, freedom, justice, and equality."
It holistically targets decades of repressive occupation and Israeli Arab marginalization. Targeting state criminals and profiteering corporate interests are key to ending this decades long nightmare.
International companies like Deutsche Bahn pulled out. Companies with stakes in the Dutch Dexia banking group sold shares. The Israeli conglomerate Africa Israel said it won't work in settlements. Moreover, since Cast Lead, Israeli companies saw exports drop, especially to Europe.
The guide focuses on profiteering. Exposing it shines light where it's needed. Targeting corporate bottom lines matter most, beginning with tarnishing their image.
