BDS bygger på denne appel, oversat til dansk:
Det palæstinensiske civilsamfunds appel om BDS
9. juli 2005
Det palæstinensiske civilsamfund opfordrer til Boykot, De-investering og Sanktioner mod Israel indtil de overholder international lov og universelle menneskerettigheder
Et år efter den historisk rådgivende udtalelse fra Den Internationale Domstol (ICJ) der fandt Israels Murbyggeri på besat palæstinensisk område ulovlig, fortsætter Israel med dets konstruktion af koloniseringsmuren med total foragt for domstolens afgørelse.
I 38 år har Israel fastholdt besættelsen af den palæstinensiske Vestbred (herunder Østjerusalem), Gaza-striben og de syriske Golan-højderne og fortsætter med at udvide de jødiske kolonier. De har ensidigt annekteret det besatte Øst Jerusalem og Golan-højderne og er nu ved de facto at annektere store dele af Vestbredden ved hjælp af Muren. Israel forbereder også i skyggen af dets planlagte omgruppering fra Gaza-Striben , at bygge og udvide kolonier på Vestbredden. 57 år efter staten Israel blev oprettet ,hovedsagelig på land gennem etnisk udrensning af dets palæstinensiske ejere, er et flertal af palæstinensere flygtninge, hvoraf de fleste er statsløse. Desuden indrettede Israel et forskansningssystem med racediskrimination imod det egne arabisk-palæstinensiske som stadig er intakt.
I lys af Israels vedvarende krænkelser af folkeretten;
og:
På baggrund af hundreder af FN-resolutioner siden 1948 har fordømt Israels koloniale og diskriminerende politik som ulovlig og opfordrer til øjeblikkelige, passende og effektive retsmidler;
og:
Da alle former for international intervention og fredsbestræbelser indtil nu ikke kunnet overbevise Israel eller tvinge Israel til at overholde den humanitære folkeret, og respektere grundlæggende menneskerettigheder og afslutte det besættelse og undertrykkelse af det palæstinensiske folk;
og:
I betragtning af den kendsgerning, at folk med samvittighed i det internationale samfund historisk har påtaget sig et moralsk ansvar for at bekæmpe uretfærdighed, som det skete i kampen for at afskaffe apartheid i Sydafrika gennem forskellige former for boykot, de-investering og sanktioner;
og:
Inspireret af sydafrikanernes kamp mod apartheid og i en ånd af international solidaritet, moralsk konsekvens og modstand mod uretfærdighed og undertrykkelse;
Opfordrer vi repræsentanter for det palæstinensiske civilsamfund det internationale civilsamfunds organisationer og mennesker med samvittighed over hele verden til at indføre bred boykot og gennemføre de-investerings initiativer mod Israel på samme måde som blev påført Sydafrika under apartheid æraen. Vi opfordrer til at man presser sine respektive stater til at påføre Israel embargo og sanktioner. Vi vil også invitere samvittighedsfulde israelere til at støtte denne opfordring, af hensyn til retfærdighed og ægte fred.
Disse ikke voldelige straffeforanstaltninger bør opretholdes indtil Israel opfylder sine forpligtigelser om at anerkende det palæstinensiske folks umistelige ret til selvbestemmelse og fuldt ud overholder forskrifterne for international ret ved:
1.Afslutte sin besættelse og kolonisering af alle arabiske landområder og demontering af Muren.
2. Anerkender Israels arabisk-palæstinensiske indbyggeres fundamentale rettigheder om fuld ligestilling; og
3. Respekterer, beskytter og fremmer de palæstinensiske flygtninges ret til tilbagevende til deres hjem og ejendomme som fastsat i FN resolution 194.
