What do we have to show for 25 years of social movements and protests?

The Palestinian liberation movement is one of the last national liberation and decolonization struggles. The PSM resembles anti-imperialist, antiwar and solidarity movements since the Spanish Civil War, but for the first time since the 1930s the Marxist left is not central to organizing it. The PSM is also similar to the George Floyd movement in that it has raised mass awareness and discredited state violence, even as ruling-class interests and institutions struck back with police violence and political and legal repression. The challenge for the PSM is building power to disrupt US support for Israel – just as the antiwar movement did during the Vietnam War, which combined with Vietnamese resistance and armed struggle to defeat the American war effort. This requires organization, leadership and a mass movement that is broad, strategic, disciplined and refuses to compromise on Palestinian national liberation and ending Zionist settler-colonialism. But it also faces the same trap confronting all movements today. PSM protests are highly dependent on social media and can unleash mass disruptive power seemingly out of nowhere. But social media also determines the form of protests, and in particular the ephemeral viral tactics they adopt, making them almost impossible to organize and institutionalize in the very moment when they have the most influence.

Cut the genocidal supply: Join the BDS Global Week of Action against Elbit Systems | BDS Movement

Cut the genocidal supply: Join the BDS Global Week of Action against Elbit Systems | BDS Movement

The Palestinian-led BDS movement calls for global days of action from April 20 - 25, targeting Elbit Systems and its complicit supply chain. Elbit Systems is Israel's largest weapons manufacturer and primary supplier to Israel’s genocidal army. It develops, manufactures, and sells weapons, surveillance technology, and military equipment. These are used in Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in its apartheid system against the entire Indigenous people of Palestine, and its ongoing criminal aggression against the peoples of the region. 

Elbit Systems has been a primary target of the BDS movement’s Military Embargo campaign since 2007, and remains a priority target for BDS pressure and divestment campaigns. BDS-affiliated activists have peacefully occupied or blocked Elbit Systems factories in the UK and Brazil, including in a precedent-setting case near Birmingham (UK) in 2014.

Elbit is not just a weapons company — it is a cornerstone of Israel's military-industrial complex, directly profiting from and enabling Israel's apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against Palestinians. The company's drones and surveillance systems enable Israel’s precision bombing of residential areas, and its military vehicles and weapons systems are used in attacks on Gaza. Elbit’s border control technology enables Israel’s siege of 2.3 million Palestinians, and its training systems prepare Israeli forces for carrying out ethnic cleansing operations.
