New Flyer: Gaza and Ongoing Apartheid

The entrenchment of apartheid as one set of laws and practices for the indigenous population and another for Jews is ongoing and getting worse. As one well-known leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, the situation facing Palestinians is even worse than in South Africa. U.S. government and institutional support—like right on this campus—is integral to apartheid’s existence. In the United States, Britain, South Africa and Egypt, there is a growing campaign of boycott of Israeli goods and divestment from companies doing business inIsrael-Palestine. It is modeled on the successful solidarity efforts in support of the democratic movement to end South Africa apartheid. Similarly, the Palestinian movement to end apartheid cannot succeed if we here do not hold our own university accountable.
