Minnesota's investment in Israel supports an apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that causes thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and which involves the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies a ruling by the International Court of Justice as well as more than 65 UN Resolutions, and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention.

The video is produced by the Minnesota Break the Bonds Campaign (MNBBC), a statewide organization calling for Minnesota to divest from Israel Bonds until Israel complies with international human-rights law. We are Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring fair and honest Palestine-centric education to Minnesota, to support justice and human rights, and to examine our relationship as Minnesotans to Israel's occupation of Palestine. Minnesota's investment in two Israel bonds supports Israel's apartheid system in both Israel and the Palestinian Territories and enables widespread abuse of human rights. Israel Bonds finance infrastructure projects including settlement building on the Palestinian West Bank and in East Jerusalem; these settlements displace Palestinians from their own lands. If you want Minnesota to divest from Israel too, no matter where you live, please SIGN OUR PETITION! at mn.breakthebonds.org.

The Economy of the Occupation (EOC) is published by the Alternative Information Center and most of its publications were written by the economist Shir Hever.

The EOC is published by the Alternative Information Center (AIC) since June 2005. According to the publication's mission statement, the EOC aims to offer a "new approach to the economic situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel" and to "provide accessible and singular analyses of the socio-economic interests behind the Israeli occupation of Palestine." While remaining in the realm of economic analysis and using economic tools and definitions, EOC does not aim to be understood solely by economists and academics, but by anyone interested in the situation in Israel-Palestine or even the Middle East as a whole. The texts published by the EOC are on the range between journalistic and academic in nature. Each chapter of the series focuses on one aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and analyses the situation from a critical economic perspective. The research methodology used by EOC is that of political economy <b>...</b>

In June of 2004, the Presbyterian Church USA became the first major religious institution in America to take a step toward divesting from companies that support the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. In an overwhelming 431 to 62 vote at their annual General Assembly meeting, the church approved a process called phased selective divestment. While the first opportunity to consider divesting from companies would not take place for another two years, the backlash against the church was immediate. Given the rather negative reaction that this decision evoked, it makes sense to look at the reasons that led the church to take this step. This program will explore why the Presbyterian Church USA began this process of phased selective divestment, what exactly the plan involves, and what the church hopes it will accomplish. Featuring interviews with Stated Clerk Rev. Clifton Kirkpatrick, Rev. Charles Henderson, Rev. Marian McClure, Dr. Glenn Dickson and more. Alternate Focus is available on the Dish Network, Free Speech TV, Channel 9415 and on cable stations near you. Check www.alternatefocus.org for details.

Blegen Hall, University of Minnesota, December 15, 2010. Minnesota Break the Bonds is an organization dedicated to disinvesting in Israel Bonds until Israel obeys international law and stops the apartheid against the Palestinians. It's part of a larger effort named BDS - Boycott, Divest and Sanction. The state of Minnesota holds $18.4 million in Israel bonds, less than 1% of total state investments. This disinvestment is seen as a token move and a beginning of further pressure.

The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights With Omar Barghouti Omar Barghouti speaks in London about his new book, Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights. International boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts helped topple South Africa's brutal apartheid regime. In this urgent book, Omar Barghouti makes the case for a rights-based BDS campaign to stop Israel's rapacious occupation, colonization, and apartheid against the Palestinian people. This considered, convincing collection contributes to the growing debate on Israel's violations of international law and points the way forward to a united global civil society movement for freedom, justice, self-determination, and equality for all.

Israel has held Gaza under siege, controlling the borders, air and water space, preventing even the most basic humanitarian goods from entering. The Emperors Clothes is a call to action.

Ten activists from the Friends of Palestine WA staged an action outside the Seacret booth at Carousel shopping centre in Perth on November 27. This action was part of the international "boycott, divestment and sanctions" campaign against Apartheid Israel. Seacret is a cosmetics company that sources its product from the Dead Sea in occupied Palestine. The company is "profiteering from resources in the land stolen by Israel, while Palestinians are denied their traditional sustainable agricultural output and any share of the water resources from the Jordan River or the coastal aquifers" according to a leaflet handed out by the activists. Participants surrounded the Seacret booth with signs including "Seacret breaks international law by profiting from occupation". The use of minerals from occupied Palestinian land is in clear violation of the fourth Geneva Convention which prohibits exploitation of resources by an occupying power. One passerby joined the protest and held a banner and many others, including some nearby shopkeepers gave supportive comments as they observed the action. The action was spirited and passionate and at all times peaceful. Activists left after 40 minutes. www.fopwa.org
