That the Parliament welcomes the 13th annual Israeli Apartheid Week; understands that the week is an international series of events that seeks to raise awareness of what it sees as Israel’s settler-colonial project and apartheid system over the Palestinian people and to build support for the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement; understands that the 2016 Israeli Apartheid Week included a wide range of events, from lectures, film screenings, cultural performances and BDS actions; welcomes that these actions took place in more than 225 cities across the world, and acknowledges that, despite attacks on BDS internationally, the Israeli Apartheid Week and the BDS movement continue to build linkages and solidarity with other struggles to achieve freedom, justice and equality globally.
