The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions National Committee (BNC)
cordially invites you to actively participate in its*

“Fourth National BDS Conference”

Saturday, 8 June 2013
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Bethlehem University*

* *

(See Attached Conference Program and Shuttle Schedule From Select
Palestinian Cities)**

* *

In light of the latest spectacular growth of the BDS movement around the
world in the academic, cultural and economic domains, this conference aims
to enhance and expand Palestinian civil society’s active implementation of
BDS as an effective and popular strategy of resistance that is deeply
rooted in the heritage of Palestinian popular resistance and that is also
inspired by the South African anti-apartheid struggle and the US civil
rights movement.

* *

The conference will feature:

* *

·        Solidarity video messages* * from* Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Roger
Waters *and* Marcel Khalifeh***

·        Presentations by leading trade unionists, academics, women and
youth activists, writers and other civil society representatives**

·        Workshops culminating months of community meetings to develop
strategies for local sector-based BDS campaigns**



The conference embodies the unified and determined Palestinian will to
exercise our inalienable right to self determination through ending
Israel’s occupation, apartheid and denial of our refugees’ right of return.
This in turn requires intensifying BDS globally to isolate Israel in all
fields and hold it accountable to its obligations under international law.
