AUC’s BDS Chapter Takes Part In First ‘Israeli Apartheid Week’

[Purveyor]

The Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) chapter at the American University in Cairo began “Israeli Apartheid Week” on Sunday, which will take place for the first time on the university’s campus.

‘Israel Apartheid Week’, now in its 12th year, is a global event that takes place on university and college campuses in more than 150 cities every year.

The campaign is carried out by a number of organisations, grassroots campaigns and groups hoping to spread awareness about the Palestinian cause. The event kicks off between February and March every year to raise awareness about Israeli apartheid and Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.

During the week, AUC students will hold several events, including film screenings, talk sessions, and performances of the traditional ‘dabkeh’ dance. The events aim to introduce the different ways in which people can be involved in boycotting Israel.
