Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS)

Boycotting, divesting and sanctioning (BDS) is a non-violent tactic to get Israel to end its violations of international law and human rights. BDS tactics were used successfully to end apartheid in South Africa.

The BDS movement calls for a boycott of all the products of all Israeli — and international — companies that are involved in Israel’s violations of Palestinian rights. Virtually all Israeli companies are complicit to some degree in Israel’s system of occupation and apartheid. Below are some of the current BDS campaigns for products available in the Sacramento Area.

Intel has also committed to buying $16.6 billion worth of goods and services from Israeli suppliers over the next decade. The new plant is due to open in 2028 and operate through 2035. For more information https://bdsmovement.net/Apartheid-Chips-BoycottIntel
