About the Coalition
The Peterborough Coalition for Palestinian Solidarity is a coalition of individuals who share an ethos of social justice, dignity and self-determination for all, and who came together out of a shared interest in building a broad-based collective voice in support of the growing Palestinian solidarity movement. The aim of PCPS is to encourage awareness and informed debate, to create spaces for engagement and dialogue, and to organize collectively against Israeli apartheid. PCPS opposes racism, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism and hopes to make links with decolonization and Indigenous resistance movements. PCPS also seeks to make links with ongoing International struggles to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine, such as the Wall Must Fall and the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaigns. Through organizing regular public events and actions PCPS aims to connect these struggles to broader social justice movements in Peterborough and in Canada.
Our demands are based upon a July 2005 call from over 170 Palestinian organizations in support of a global campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions.
Boycott, divestment and sanctions should be maintained until Israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law by:
1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands, dismantling the Wall and freeing all Palestinian and Arab political prisoners;
2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality;
and
3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN General Assembly resolution 194.
