The BNC (BDS National Committee) issued a powerful statement last week calling for an intensification of BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) actions:

Israel's Freedom Flotilla Massacre underlines the urgency of intensifying BDS: "Occupied Palestine, 08 June 2010 -- In light of Israel's massacre of humanitarian relief workers and activists aboard the Freedom Flotilla on 31 May 2010 and its insistence to continue its illegal siege on Gaza, pressuring Israel to comply with its obligations under international law has become of undeniable urgency. [...] In the words of Nelson Mandela, justice for the people of Palestine has become “the greatest moral issue of our time.” Israel's brutal siege of Gaza is today the most critical and urgent of all Israeli injustices against the Palestinian people. The BNC calls on people of conscience and citizen groups all over the world to intensify BDS campaigns against Israel as the most effective means of ending the siege and holding Israel accountable to international law in the pursuit of a just peace."
