By signing this petition, we as international vegans and antispeciesists agree to adhere to the peaceful boycott of Israel, as called for by Palestinian civil society. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a non-violent movement calling for a peaceful end to the ongoing illegal occupation.We refuse to celebrate or promote Israel until Palestinians are given their rights. 

As vegans/antispeciesists, we recognise the Israeli state as appropriating veganism for propaganda purposes, to distract international attention away from the ongoing occupation of Palestine. Just as the LGBTQ community rejected Israeli pinkwashing, we too reject veganwashing.

We call on everyone to show solidarity with animal rights activists in Palestine by signing this petition, and refusing to attend or promote any celebrations of Israeli veganism, until Israeli ends the occupation.

More information can be found on the Vegans for BDS website.
