We owe to Palestinians at least what we demand for ourselves: freedom from occupation, freedom from new forms of colonization, freedom to return to, inhabit, and live in a territory which we or our parents and grandparents called home, without annexation, without financialization, without exclusion, without pollution, and without the destruction of the common resources that nurture and sustain life. So out of a desire for social justice and solidarity, we boycott, divest from, and sanction those who profit from keeping Palestinians under brutal occupation and living under apartheid conditions. We express our bond with those in bondage by these acts of refusal. These acts of refusal are also acts of love. Militant love. There will be no peace or justice in Palestine until the outstanding debt to its people is recognized and paid through a mutual and collective struggle for justice, liberation, and autonomy. We encourage people to join the BDS movement. ~ excerpts from a collective piece in TIDAL 4 magazine entitled Free Palestine, Occupy Wall Street, Strike Debt, available here tidalmag.org
