We, the Executive Board of the North New Jersey Democratic Socialists of America, believe in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) and give our full support of such efforts.
- We are in solidarity with Palestinian civil society’s nonviolent struggle against apartheid, colonialism, military occupation and for equality, human rights, and self-determination.
- We believe that any political solution to the ongoing crisis must be premised on the realization of basic human rights, including all rights outlined in the BDS call.
- We condemn all efforts to deny the right of Palestinians in the United States and their allies to free speech, assembly, and academic freedom. NNJDSA condemns all efforts to deny the right of Palestinians in the US and their allies to free speech, assembly and academic freedom.Specifically NNJDSA strongly opposes the Israel Anti-Boycott Act. which would make it a felony to advocate or support boycotts targeting Israel, as well as all similar legislation at the state and local levels
