Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) x Burley Fisher Books
Joining with many writers, publishers and bookshops, Burley Fisher Books is signing on to the call of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS). This means boycotting complicit academic and cultural products and institutions, including any cultural activity funded by the Israeli state.
Initiated in 2004 and inspired by the cultural boycott campaign against apartheid South Africa, PACBI aims to draw a line between culture workers and the actions of governments funding and endorsing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel.
PACBI is institutional and does not target individuals as such. Committed to freedom of expression as stipulated in the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), PACBI rejects, on principle, boycotts of individuals based on their opinion or identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, or religion).
