ABOUT
WHO ARE WE?
We are a team of a Syrian Turkish Australian and a Palestinian Canadian.
WHAT ARE OUR VALUES?
In accordance with the principles of the Thawabit, we fight for a free Palestine from the river to the sea. We call for the dismantling of the white supremacist, imperialist, capitalist, fascist, settler colonial israeli/zionist state. We demand the formation of one Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its eternal capital. We insist on the right of return for all Palestinians, and the release of all Palestinian prisoners.
We have no interest in normalisation, such as dialogue or collaboration with zionists, compromise, coexistence, or proposals of a two-state solution. Palestinians have the right to resist the zionist oppressor's occupation, apartheid, genocide, and ethnic cleansing of their people.
Although we appreciate humanity standing up for Palestinians, we believe that Palestinians need to be in control of their self determination and autonomy. In the context of the occupation and impending liberation, they must be included in conversations, their voices must be heard, and their work must be shared and considered.
We oppose the political ideology of zionism, which demands the creation of a Jewish state on Palestinian land by any means necessary, at the expense of millions of Palestinians who are displaced, raped, and/or killed. We reproach the zionists for conflating Judaism with zionism, when there is a significant difference between the two.
We condemn the US, UK, Canada, and Australia for supplying billions of dollars in weaponry to israel, to secure their own financial interests. We are disgusted with Donald Trump and Columbia University in particular for deporting students in an attempt to silence them for protesting against the zionist regime.
We see the liberation of Palestine as a step towards the liberation of all oppressed people. We stand with Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Syria, Yemen, Tigrays, Uyghurs, Rohingyas, and First Nations people around the world.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We provide current boycott and safe lists of brands and people associated with israel, use a level ranking system.
HOW ARE WE FUNDED?
We conduct our own extensive research into associations with israel. This website was built out of pocket.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Step 1: Uphold the Thawabit, the Palestinian supra constitutional principles and national rights, by:
- Fighting for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea;
- Upholding the right of return for all Palestinians;
- Claiming Al-Quds as the eternal capital of one Palestinian state;
- Demanding the release of all Palestinian prisoners;
- Rejecting all forms of colonialism;
- Refusing to engage in all forms of normalisation (dialogue with the oppressors, coexistence or two-state solution, israel/israeli/zionist collaboration);
- Supporting all forms of resistance against zionism, including BDS;
- Refusing all forms of compromise in demands for liberation;
- Preserving Palestinian self determination and autonomy by elevating their voices, and;
- Expanding your understanding about Palestine by making it a focal point to speak to Palestinians and read their literary work, for example, "On zionist Literature" by Palestinian politician and writer Ghassan Kanafani.
Step 2: Get involved in targeted boycotts, which are focused on a limited number of brands and people via campaigns, petitions, etc., by:
- Visiting the Brands2Boycott BDS Targets list and the Boycott, Divesment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for more information, and;
- Visiting your local BDS website for information central to your area. This website is based in Australia, so for Australians visit APAN as it has merged with BDS Australia.
Step 3: Change the way you shop to limit the amount of profit complicit companies make by:
- Purchasing products that are pre-loved;
- Purchasing products from small businesses;
- Purchasing products from Aldi Sud, and;
- Purchasing products from the Brands2Boycott Safe List.
