Boycott #DebConf20 in Israel.
Don't support apartheid.
#MoveTheConference.

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

People are mobilizing across the world to denounce the brutal Israeli attack on Gaza.

[ANSWER Coalition- Bay Area @sfANSWER]

SF protests against the Israeli siege of Gaza: "End the Zionist state!"

[Electronic Intifada @intifada]

"A ban on goods and services from Israel’s illegal settlements is the very least that government institutions should enact to cut their complicity with Israel's regime of apartheid, settler-colonialism and occupation." https://t.co/E3RNCp1q80

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

You don't have to directly fund apartheid tech to be complicit in apartheid.

As Angela Davis said, "In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be antiracist."

Debian, stand with Palestinians. Move #DebConf20.

[Olivia Solon @oliviasolon]

This story shows that ethical principles are fundamentally meaningless if they exist in the abstract. It boils down ot whether Microsoft considers Palestinians to have democratic freedoms that are being infringed by Israeli military surveillance https://t.co/pIi8zscga2

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

But does Debian Project stand with @PACBI in defense against Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing? 🇵🇸

[The Debian Project @debian]

The Debian Project stands with the @GNOME Foundation in defense against patent trolls https://t.co/110l3JTcdp

Israeli snipers shot Abu Obeid in the leg while he was helping to evacuate another injured Palestinian.

@Debian, don't whitewash war crimes. #MoveTheConference

@dutytowin Hi @dutytowin, we are not calling for a boycott of the OS, but of the tech conference in line with the international call for boycott, divestment, sanctions.

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

The same brutality used by Israelis against Palestinians is encouraged against Central American asylum seekers by the US. It’s the same shit, just a different border. @debian, don’t support this anywhere! Cancel your conference. #NoBan #NoWall #BDS #BoycottDebConf20

[The IMEU @theIMEU]

Trump's brutal fantasy is Gaza's wretched reality. Israeli snipers target the legs of Palestinians marching for their rights in Gaza. At least 6,392 Palestinians have been shot in their lower limbs by Israeli forces since March 2018, the start of the Great Return March.

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

It’s no surprise that the same people profiting from the oppression in the US-Mexico and Israeli-Palestinian borders. @Debian move the conference out of Israel! #NoBan #NoWall #BDS #FreeSoftware

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

The Nakba marks the violent expulsion of the Palestinian people to make room for the state of Israel.

Haifa, where @debian will host #DebConf 20, was the target of unspeakable terror as were many other Palestinian villages.

Thanks @AliAbunimah

From Palestine to Mexico, the same people are profiting from human suffering. #NoBan #NoWall

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

New report says Israel’s Elbit Systems, which equips Israel’s apartheid wall and makes surveillance and attack drones used on Palestinians, is one of the top profiteers from US border militarization, securing $187 million in US government contracts. #BDS https://t.co/GL2frielwp

💯 More and more people are starting to understand that Free Software is about more than just code!

[Carlos O'Donell @CarlosODonell]

The GNU Project needs to make changes. https://t.co/mPyeWfHNNE @gnutools

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

Why boycott?

@PACBI explains, "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."

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

Where is freedom for Palestinians like Samer Arbeed? @debian, respect your free software principles and cancel your conference in Haifa, Israel. #boycottdebconf20

[Electronic Intifada @intifada]

While the justice ministry launched an investigation into the Shin Bet following Samer Arbeed’s health deterioration, it is unlikely that it will lead to any accountability.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

Israel sustains its apartheid regime over Palestinians partly through arms sales and military support it receives from governments across the world.

The US and European states are Israel's biggest suppliers.

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

Tech conferences in Israel whitewash daily crimes against Palestinians.

Israel shoots children, lets them bleed to death https://t.co/U9DrQqyPmk

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

Israeli occupation forces subject at least 700 Palestinian children to military prisons. Some are sentenced for throwing stones.

@Debian, #MoveTheConference out of Haifa.

#BoycottDebConf20

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

@PACBI This distracts from and justifies the fact that Israel violently oppresses Palestinians and colonizes Palestinian land.

Ignoring this fact contributes to the ongoing of erasure of Palestinian life and history. Don’t ignore it. #BoycottDebConf20

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

Why boycott?

@PACBI explains, "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."

[Boycott DebConf20 @BoycottDebConf]

@PACBI Whether it intends to or not, Debian absolutely participates in this whitewashing by hosting their 2020 conference in Haifa.

Hosting a prominent free software conference in Haifa bolsters Israel’s image as a tech powerhouse and a supporter of values-driven software.
