Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an annual international series of events
(including rallies, lectures, cultural performances, film screenings,
multimedia displays and boycott of Israel actions) held in cities and
campuses across the globe. Last year’s IAW was incredibly successful with

Palestinians and to build support for the growing Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions (BDS) against Israel campaign
