March 1-7 marks the 6th annual Israel Apartheid Week. It's a week recognized across the globe to talk about the issues surrounding the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, specifically the one of apartheid. There is a special emphasis on the BDS movement (boycotts, divestments, and sanctions) which has spawned from a 2005 call from Palestinian civil society to begin a nonviolent BDS movement to call Israel to accountability for it's violation of human rights against the Palestinian people.
Here is a great video from Al Jazeera English on the topic of Israel apartheid. There three guests are an Israel against BDS, an Israel for BDS, and a Palestinian organizer of Israeli Apartheid Week. Enjoy.
