DESCRIPTION:Palestinian Workers and Solidarity\nFrom the river, to the sea, Palestine 
 will be free!\n\nWorkers rights has no borders and the struggle and lives 
 of Palestinian workers are the focus of this forum. Palestinian journalists 
 have been targeted by Israeli snipers in increasing numbers. At the same 
 time, Palestinian workers face brutal slave-like discriminatory conditions, 
 not only in the occupied lands, but also inside the state of Israel 
 (Historic Palestine). Unions throughout the world have supported an end to 
 the occupation of the Palestinian lands and equal rights for all. This 
 forum will directly report on the struggles of Palestinian workers and how 
 U.S. workers can build solidarity with our brothers and sisters in their 
 struggle for labor and human rights.\n Sponsored by United Public Workers

 Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)\n“Representatives of Palestinian civil 
 society launched the BDS movement in 2005. They called upon "international 
 civil society organizations and people of conscience all over the world to 
 impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel 
 similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era ... 
 [including] embargoes and sanctions against Israel."”\n\n“The call for 
 BDS specified that "these non-violent punitive measures" should last until 
 Israel fully complies with international law by (1) ending the occupation 
 and colonization of all Arab territories and removing the barrier wall; (2) 
 affirming the human rights of Israel's Arab-Palestinian citizens to full 
 equality; and (3) affirming the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to 
 their land as required by UN General Assembly Resolution 194.”\n\n“BDS 
 was a major factor behind the 46 percent decrease in foreign direct 
 investment in Israel in 2014, according to a UN report. A World Bank report 
 revealed that Palestinian imports from Israel dropped by 24 \npercent in 
 the first quarter of 2015.”\n\n
