An Extensive Guide on How to Support Palestine.

Orange background. Watermelon in the centre with a river running through it. Fists holding Palestinian flags at the top.

This is a guide to taking action in support of a peaceful resolution for Palestine and Israel.  In this guide, you will find on the ground and online ways you can actively support the call for a cease-fire and the end to the occupation of Historic Palestine. You will also find resources for unlearning and learning about the situation in Gaza to provide context to the October 7th attack on the State of Israel.

This guide was created in the hope of encouraging people to take action in a variety of ways for maximum impact. It also aims to shed light on the history of the creation of the State of Israel, the Free Palestine Movement and why the public is resisting the current stance of the UK and US governments, amongst others. 

As an organisation firmly established to tackle racial inequality and oppression in all its forms, it’s our duty to speak out and support communities experiencing marginalisation who are impacted by adversity. The situation between the State of Israel and Palestine has become untenable, and the only way forward is through political solutions which start with a cease-fire and end with the State of Israel’s occupation of Historic Palestine. 

We will keep updating this guide with more resources each week. If you have a resource in mind that you can’t see here, please let us know, and we will include it.

Join the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) Movement

The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) calls for a boycott of Israeli and international companies that are complicit in violations of Palestinian rights. 

 

This economic boycott aims to put pressure on the State of Israel to comply with international law and to persuade private companies to end their participation in Israel’s crimes. 

You can boycott companies such as:

  • Disney: following Hamas’s attack on October 7th, Disney donated $2 million to organisations providing humanitarian relief in Israel.
     
  • Hewlett Packard: helps run the biometric ID system that Israel uses to restrict Palestinian movement.
     
  • Siemens: the planned construction of the EuroAsia Interconnector will link Israel’s electricity grid with Europe’s, allowing illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land to benefit from the Israel-EU trade of electricity produced from fossil gas.
     
  • McDonald's: the Israeli franchise provided IDF soldiers with free burgers. 
     
  • Puma: sponsors the Israel Football Association, which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.
     
  • SodaStream: is actively complicit in Israel's policy of displacing the indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab (Negev). SodaStream has a long history of mistreatment of and discrimination against Palestinian workers.
     
  • Sabra: Sabra hummus is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).
     
  • Starbucks: has sued Workers United Union, saying their pro-Palestine post has damaged their reputation. 

Many other global brands, such as Marks & Spencer, Wix and H&M, face boycotts due to their provision of goods and services to the state of Israel. Find out more about this here.  

Some scholars and critics of the BDS movement have argued that boycotting these companies hinders economic prosperity and job creation across the region. The purpose of a boycott is to create financial loss and pressure a target to make behavioural change. In this instance, given the nature and scale of the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, boycotting can effectively influence companies to respond to what their consumers are telling them. 

You can find out more about the impact of the BDS movement here.

If you would like to join the BDS movement calling for a boycott, you can use the following hashtag when sharing information about it online: #StopFuelingIsraeliApartheid.
 

You can join the movement for a cultural boycott.

The state of Israel overtly uses culture as a form of propaganda to whitewash or justify its regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid over the Palestinian people. This is why the BDS movement also calls for a cultural boycott, demanding that international venues and festivals reject funding and any form of sponsorship from the Israeli government.

You can find out more about cultural venues and festivals here. 

Israeli universities are major, willing and persistent accomplices of the state of Israel’s regime. To end this complicity in Israel’s violations of international law, Palestinian civil society has called for an academic boycott of Israeli educational institutions.

Examples of when Israeli universities have been complicit in apartheid and ethnic cleansing:

  • Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) develops military drone technologies and remote-controlled weaponised bulldozers used to demolish Palestinian homes.
     
  • Tel Aviv University was responsible for developing the "Dayhiya doctrine", which calls for disproportionate force against civilian infrastructure and which was implemented by the Israeli occupation forces in their massacres of Palestinians in Gaza.
     
  • Graduates of the Hebrew University’s Talpiot military program, sponsored by the Israeli Air Force and army, pursue higher education while serving in the army, utilising their expertise to further military research and development.

You can find out more about the cultural boycott within the BDS movement here.

The Balfour Declaration by Jonathan Schneer
Issued in London in 1917, the Balfour Declaration was one of the critical documents of the twentieth century. It committed Britain to supporting the establishment in Palestine of “a National Home for the Jewish people,” and its reverberations continue to be felt to this day. Now, the entire fascinating story of the document is revealed in this impressive work of modern history. With new material retrieved from historical archives, Jonathan Schneer recounts in dramatic detail the public and private fight for a small strip of land in the Middle East. This battle started when the Ottoman Empire took Germany’s side in World War I.
 

The Palestine Laboratory by Antony Loewenstein 
Israel's military-industrial complex uses the occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies.
 

Ten Myths About Israel by Ila Pappé
The “ten myths” that Pappé explores—repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the world’s governments—reinforce the regional status quo. He explores the claim that Palestine was an empty land at the time of the Balfour Declaration, as well as the formation of Zionism and its role in the early decades of nation-building. He asks whether the Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948 and whether June 1967 was a war of “no choice.” Turning to the myths surrounding the failures of the Camp David Accords and the official reasons for the attacks on Gaza, Pappe explains why the two-state solution is no longer viable.
 

They Called Me A Lioness by Ahed Tamimi and Dena Takruri
Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian activist jailed at sixteen after a confrontation with Israeli soldiers, illuminates the daily struggles of life under occupation in this moving, deeply personal memoir.
 

The Land of Hope and Fear by Isabel Kershner
Despite Israel’s determination to stay in power in a hostile environment, its military might, and the innovation it fosters in businesses globally, the country is more divided than ever. In The Land of Hope and Fear, we meet Israelis: Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, Eastern and Western, liberals and zealots — plagued by perennial conflict and existential threats, citizens who remain deeply polarised politically, socially, and ideologically, even as they undergo generational change and redefine what it is to be an Israeli.
 

I Saw Ramallah by Mourid Barghouti
Barred from his homeland after 1967’s Six-Day War, the poet Mourid Barghouti spent thirty years in exile — shuttling among the world’s cities, yet secure in none of them, separated from his family for years at a time, never sure whether he was a visitor, a refugee, a citizen, or a guest. As he returns home for the first time since the Israeli occupation, Barghouti crosses a wooden bridge over the Jordan River into Ramallah and is unable to recognise the city of his youth. Sifting through memories of the old Palestine as they come up against what he now encounters in this mere “idea of Palestine,” he discovers what it means to be deprived not only of a homeland but of “the habitual place and status of a person.”
 

Arab and Jew by David K. Shipler
In this monumental work, extensively researched and more relevant than ever, David Shipler delves into the origins of the prejudices that exist between Jews and Arabs that have been intensified by war, terrorism, and nationalism. Focusing on the diverse cultures that exist side by side in Israel and Israeli-controlled territories, Shipler examines the process of indoctrination that begins in schools; he discusses the far-ranging effects of socioeconomic differences, historical conflicts between Islam and Judaism, attitudes about the Holocaust, and much more. And he writes of the people: the Arab woman in love with a Jew, the retired Israeli military officer, the Palestinian guerrilla, the handsome actor whose father is Arab and whose mother is Jewish.
