The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel challenges Israeli apartheid via academic, cultural, sports & anti-pinkwashing campaigns.

Even before its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Israel spent hundreds of millions of dollars fighting the global, grassroots BDS movement as a "strategic threat" to its decades-old regime of oppression. 🧵

Sönmez put a watermelon on her racket, calling out Wimbledon’s hypocrisy over allowing Ukrainian but not Palestinian flags.

We salute Sönmez for refusing Wimbledon & WTA's hypocritically imposed silence in the face of Israel’s genocide & apartheid regime against Palestinians.

Rising tennis star Zeynep Sönmez responds to Wimbledon’s hypocrisy with watermelon on racket in support of Palestinian rights

Wimbledon had shamefully banned Sönmez from wearing a watermelon pin on her top, as she has done in the past.

We encourage all scholars and students of conscience to work to promote similar measures within their academic associations, faculty unions and at their universities.

If not now, when.

The European Consortium for Political Research Standing Group on Gender and Politics votes by 88% to support the Palestinian call to boycott complicit Israeli academic institutions.

The ECPR SGGP commits not to:

Accept funding from complicit Israeli institutions.

Organize or fund normalization projects that are based on the false premise of symmetry between the oppressor and the oppressed.

As the world’s attention is on the World Cup, let’s continue to shine a light on Israel’s crimes against Palestinians and push for an end to the hypocrisy and complicity of international bodies.

Fixed it.

During the #WorldCup, @MichaelMannEU, the EU Ambassador to Israel (@EUinIsrael), hosted the Israel Football Association as Israel’s ongoing genocide has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, including 1000+ sports people.

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

The Israel Football Association:

🚫includes teams based in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land;

🚫created a new “Reservist League” of 32 teams and 100s of soldiers who served in Israel's Gaza genocide;

🚫has dedicated matches to the same Israeli soldiers.

.@UEFA and @FIFAcom can only expect more protests until they ban genocidal Israel from world football, just as apartheid South Africa was banned.

#BanIsrael

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

The Palestinian Football Association DENIES media reports that it endorses the Football Association of Ireland's decision to play matches with genocidal Israel.

#stopthegame

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

We continue to urge @FAIreland & the entire football community to commit to No Sports As Usual with genocidal Israel.

We salute the many sectors of Irish society calling to #StopTheGame, including the football community, public figures, trade unions & Palestine solidarity groups

Do you know Palestinian footballer Mohammed Barakat, "the Legend of Khan Younis"? He had scored 114 goals until an Israeli bomb killed him in his home. Escalate pressure on @Reebok until it ends sponsorship of the Israel Football Assoc.

Suleiman Obeid — "the Pelé of Palestine" — was assassinated by an Israeli tank while in a food aid line to feed his 5 children. FIFA must hold apartheid Israel accountable for its apartheid & sporticide against Palestinians by banning it from football.

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

Hakim Ziyech, Anwar El Ghazi, and 70+ athletes signed a letter to UEFA: "There is no place in sport for a system that commits genocide and apartheid."

Let's continue to pressure FIFA to end complicity in genocidal Israel's crimes against Palestinians.

Within weeks of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, Reebok's parent company Authentic Brands suspended operations in Russia.

Yet @Reebok continues to sponsor the Israel Football Association amid Israel’s ongoing genocide against Gaza.

As we cheer for our favorite teams during the world cup, let’s refrain from buying anything from @Reebok, sponsor of Israeli colonialism and apartheid.

FIFA awarded Trump a "Peace Prize" as Israel was decimating Gaza with US weapons and support — and after the US invasion of Venezuela, its tightening of the siege on Cuban, and its aggression in support of Israel against Iran.
FIFA is complicit.

FIFA has stated: "Sport has zero tolerance for violence."

Where is that principle when Israel bombs Palestinians in Gaza killing tens of thousands, kills our athletes, and destroys all infrastructure, including sports stadiums?

#DisruptFIFA #FIFAWorldCup #BoycottReebok

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

The #WC2026 takes places as Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, forced displacement of all Palestinians, massacres in Lebanon, and expanding military actions in Syria. @FIFACom continues to shield Israel from accountability.
