  • Dix Raisons Pour Un Boycott Culturel D'israël
    Dix raisons pour un boycott culturel d’Israël Campagne internet sur le réseau www.causes.com « Bienvenue aux dix raisons pour une campagne de boycott culturel d’Israël Merci de prendre un moment pour consulter nos actions et soutenir nos campagnes : http://www.causes.com/bds Si c’est la première fois que vous venez sur ce site, alors voici pourquoi nous nous concentrons sur l’aspect culturel du boycott d’Israël (et que nous soutenons les boycotts, désinvestissements et sanctions économiques) : » La culture est inséparable de la politique. 1 – Israël se sert de façon déclarative des artistes pour se donner une image clinquante de lui-même, alors qu’il est en réalité un régime militaire colonial. 2 – Avec leur oppression qui s’est extrêmement renforcée, il est interdit aux Palestiniens de Gaza, de Cisjordanie, et aux réfugiés palestiniens de par le monde, d’assister à ces concerts, en violation de leur liberté de mouvement et de leur droit au retour. 3 – Les artistes qui se produisent en Israël au nom de la « paix », pour « construire un pont » et « l’unité », jouent en réalité pour ceux qui profitent de l’apartheid, ils satisfont à leur sens de la légalité et justifient leur préférence pour leur « droit au divertissement » avant les droits humains de la population palestinienne et d’agir pour une prise de conscience. 4 – Les sociétés de productions israéliennes travaillent de concert avec le gouvernement pour la promotion de l’image d’Israël et approuvent les lois qui étouffent la liberté d’expression. 5 – Israël a déjà voté la « loi sur l’Interdiction de boycott » qui déclare illicites les appels au boycott, et il est dans le même processus pour rendre illicites les publications d’informations révélant la violence de l’armée, avec la « loi sur la Diffamation ».
