BDS stands for ‘Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions’. The BDS Movement was the outcome of several events that shaped the Palestinian national struggle and international solidarity with the Palestinian people following the Second Uprising (Intifada) in 2000.
Building on a decades-long tradition of civil disobedience and popular resistance, and invigorated by growing international solidarity with the Palestinian struggle as exhibited in the World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa in 2001, Palestinians moved into action.

As Prime Minister, I am proud to say that I support Israel. And it is absolutely right that we should mark the vital role that Britain played a century ago in helping to create a homeland for the Jewish people.

RT America has conducted an exclusive interview with Roger Waters, the veteran anti-war musician and poet who is best known for writing the majority of music and lyrics of his band Pink Floyd.
While albums like Dark Side of The Moon and The Wall sold millions around the world, thus spreading Roger Waters’ message of peace and humanity, today’s western mainstream media have censored Waters, much like how Apartheid South Africa censored the hit-song Another Brick In The Wall Part II in the 1980s.

After the end of Apartheid in 1994, nobody would have guessed that South Africa would be making many of the same mistakes as the Apartheid regime only two decades later, from censoring speech to violating agricultural property rights. In our process of transformation, we were supposed to move away from the Apartheid mentality.
