Palestinian Freedom Conference (Pt 8): BDS, A Strategy To Help Free Palestine #1 - Eamon McMahon

Part 8: Palestinian Freedom Conference - Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions: A Strategy To Help Free Palestine #1 by Eamon McMahon The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement was founded in 2005, modelled on the international campaign that helped end apartheid in South Africa. In just 13 years it has grown globally to such an extent that Israel now calls it an “existential threat” to its system of apartheid, and is unsuccessfully investing millions of dollars to counteract it. Yet BDS continues to grow. Whether you are a human rights activist, a trade unionist, a student, a professional or just doing your weekly shop, BDS means everyone can play a part in helping Palestinians to secure Freedom, Justice, Equality and a genuine peace in the Palestine-Israel region. == To mark the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian #Nakba, the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Trade Union Friends of Palestine and BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights are honoured to host an inspiring and action-focused weekend of talks from important voices in the Palestinian struggle for Freedom, Justice and Equality. Speaker: Eamon McMahon is a founder member and secretary of Trade Union Friends of Palestine and has been a leading voice for justice in Palestine in the Irish trade union movement. He has promoted the development of TUFP ‘ambassadors’ and led trade union delegations to Palestine. He is on the steering committee of the European Trade Union Initiative for Justice in Palestine, which calls for an end to European complicity with Israel’s occupation of Palestine. A retired NHS psychotherapist, he has a special interest in the traumatisation of Palestinian children under the Israeli occupation.
