Harvard University faculty and officers issue an open letter in support of the Harvard Crimson’s endorsement of BDS, and student efforts to oppose Israeli apartheid.

Human rights groups around the world have condemned Israel's decision to designate six civil society groups "terrorist organizations."

More than 100 global foundations and donors, most of them U.S.-based, have signed on to an open letter expressing solidarity with Palestinian civil society after six leading human rights organizations were designated as so-called “terrorist organizations” by the Israeli military: “”As global funders of human rights and democracy, this attempt to ‘chill’ our funding and solidarity will not work. We stand with Palestinian civil society organizations and human rights defenders.”

Human rights groups around the world have condemned Israel's decision to designate six civil society groups "terrorist organizations."

Israel will not end its occupation and apartheid regime of its own free will. We call on those appalled by Israel’s apartheid and by its attempt to crush human rights organizations, to join us in supporting the organizations under attack and to support Palestinian civil society’s call for BDS.
