 \nIsraeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an annual international series of events 
 held in cities and campuses across the globe. The aim of IAW is to educate 
 people about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system and to build 
 Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns as part of a growing 
 global BDS movement.\n \nLast year, Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) took place 
 in more than 40 cities across the globe. IAW 2009 happened in the wake of 
 Israel’s barbaric assault on the people of Gaza. Lectures, films, and 
 actions made the point that these latest massacres further confirm the true 
 nature of Israeli Apartheid.\n \nIAW 2010 takes place following a year of 
 incredible successes for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) 
 movement on the global level. Lectures, films, and direct actions will 
 highlight some of theses successes along with the many injustices that 
 continue to make BDS so crucial in the battle to end Israeli Apartheid. \n 
 \nSpeaker information and full programmes for each city will be available 
 on www.apartheidweek.org.\n \nJoin us in making 2010 a year of struggle 
 against apartheid and for justice, equality, and peace.\n \nFor more
