Statement of Principles of the Cultural Boycott:
We, artists, writers and cultural workers, support the Palestinian call for Boycott, Disinvestment and Sanctions (BDS).
With this campaign, we want to express our rejection of the Israeli government's policy of colonization and apartheid. Israeli cultural institutions are part and parcel of the ideological and institutional scaffolding of the Israeli regime of disenfranchisement of Palestine's native inhabitants.
With our call to support BDS, we take responsibility for aiming to bring an end - in a non-violent way - to a policy in which Israel's continuing and repeated violations of international law and human rights remain unpunished. We firmly oppose any form of discrimination and racism, including antisemitism. Continue...
Déclaration de principe du boycott culturel:
Nous, artistes, auteurs et travailleurs culturels vivant en Belgique soutenons l'appel palestinien aux Boycott, Désinvestissement et Sanctions (BDS).
Par cette campagne, nous voulons exprimer notre opposition à la politique d'occupation, de colonisation et d'apartheid du gouvernement israélien. Les institutions culturelles israéliennes constituent une composante essentielle de l'infrastructure idéologique et institutionnelle de la puissance d'occupation israélienne.
Par cet appel à soutenir les BDS, nous assumons notre responsabilité en vue de hâter de façon non violente la fin d'une politique dans laquelle les violations permanentes des lois internationales et des droits de l'homme demeurent impunies . Nous nous opposons à toute forme de discrimination et de racisme, y compris l'antisémitisme. Continue...
Beginselverklaring van de Culturele Boycot:
Wij, kunstenaars, schrijvers en culturele werkers in België, steunen de Palestijnse oproep voor Boycot, Desinvestering en Sancties (BDS).
Israëlische culturele instellingen vormen een essentieel onderdeel van de ideologische en institutionele infrastructuur van Israël als bezettingsmacht. Met deze campagne willen wij ons verzet uitdrukken tegen de politiek van bezetting, kolonisatie en apartheid die de Israëlische staat voert. Met onze oproep tot steun voor de BDS nemen we onze verantwoordelijkheid op om op geweldloze manier het einde te bespoedigen van een beleid waarin de voortdurende schendingen van het internationaal recht en de mensenrechten straffeloos blijven.
We verzetten ons tegen elke vorm van haat, racisme en xenofobie; antisemitisme inbegrepen. Onze oproep en acties zijn in volledige overeenstemming met de fundamentele mensenrechten zoals geformuleerd in de Universele Verklaring voor de Rechten van de Mens. Continue...
