Even before its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Israel spent hundreds of millions of dollars fighting the global, grassroots BDS movement as a "strategic threat" to its decades-old regime of oppression. 🧵

Palestinians call on all broadcasters to withdraw from Eurovision, and for artists, crew and audiences to boycott the tarnished contest too.

The Palestinian Performing Arts Network (PPAN), representing hundreds of Palestinian dancers, actors, musicians, playwrights, and circus performers, has outlined four ways that U.S. arts unions can lend solidarity to Palestinians living through apartheid, occupation, and genocide

1. Reject the blacklisting and censorship of members who speak out on behalf of Palestinian rights.

2. Refuse to work with institutions and corporations that are verifiably complicit in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, and divest union funds from such corporations.

3. Exclude Israel from international labor federations.

4. Pressure governments to compel Israel to end its genocide and apartheid through lawful sanctions.

The calls come as Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues.

Today, we served SUNY & NYAG over their refusal to release records regarding SUNY investment funds, bonds, and private equity holdings, as well as any contracts it may have with a list of 97 companies involved in israeli violence against Palestine.

We welcome the vote by a wide margin of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM) to support the Palestinian call to end complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide, decades long apartheid rule and illegal military occupation.

We salute the thoughtful & principled organizing within SEM by Music Scholars for Palestine to make this vote happen.

SEM joins the growing wave of academic associations responding to the call from Palestinians to refuse to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against our people.

We urge all academic associations, unions and collectives to work to pass and implement similar resolutions until Palestinian rights are upheld, including the right to education and to culture.

If not now, when?

Calls are growing for genocidal Israel to be banned from football.

Yet corrupt UEFA & FIFA continue their criminal complicity shielding Israel from accountability and football assocs and teams continue to play against Israel.

Palestinians need action! #BanIsrael #StopTheGame

Reminder: @Reebok sponsors the Israel Football Association as Israel's genocide targets Palestinian footballers.

The Israel Football Assoc:

Includes teams in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land

Created a Reservist League of 100s of soldiers who served in the Gaza genocide

Has dedicated matches, and its clubs have sent care packages, to the same soldiers.

#StopTheGame

Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has destroyed 256 sporting facilities, including stadiums.

The stadiums, once rare places of collective joy in the Gaza concentration camp, were used as torture & detention centers & defiled by Israeli soldiers.
#StopTheGame

Israeli fans chanted support for Israel’s genocidal military during the first leg of the #NationsLeague matches with Ireland.

Yet another reason @UEFA and the Football Association of Ireland @IrelandFootball should not have gone ahead with the second match. SHAME!
#StopTheGame

The months-long people-powered #StopTheGame campaign kept Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza center field, making it an int’l story.

250+ Irish athletes, trade unions, sports journalists and personalities, 140 pubs and political parties urged Ireland not to play.

UEFA & @FIFAcom suspended Russia within 72 hrs of its illegal invasion of Ukraine. 3 years into Israel's ongoing genocide against Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza, corrupt @UEFA continues to shield genocidal Israel from accountability.

Join the campaign! #BanIsrael #StopTheGame

Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, including 568 footballers.

Meanwhile, corrupt @UEFA elected Israel to its Executive Committee…during its genocide! And federations like @IrelandFootball continue to play against Israel.
#StopTheGame

Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu took a courageous and selfless stand, boycotting both matches with genocidal Israel.

Bazunu said, “There are few times where you get a chance in life to stand up for something bigger and I strongly believe that this is one of them.”
