(Cairo.) Participants in the Freedom March in Gaza today approved a declaration to strengthen the global campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israeli apartheid.
Some 1,400 activists from 43 countries met in Cairo on his way to Gaza to join the Palestinians to go to break the illegal siege of Israel. The Egyptian authorities prevented them from entering Gaza.
As a result, the protesters remain in Cairo, where they organized a series of nonviolent actions aimed at pressuring the international community to end the siege of Gaza as a first step in the broader struggle for justice for Palestinians throughout historic Palestine.

Cairo Declaration
January 1, 2010

We, international delegates gathered in Cairo at the March for Free Gaza, 2009, collective response to an initiative by the South African delegation, express :

Noting:

• the collective punishment of Palestinians to Israel illegal occupation and siege of Gaza;
• the illegal occupation of West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the continued construction of the illegal apartheid wall and settlements;
• the new wall being built by Egypt and the U.S. to tighten even further the siege of Gaza;
• contempt for Palestinian democracy shown by Israel, USA, Canada, EU and others after the 2006 Palestinian elections;
• war crimes committed by Israel during its invasion of Gaza a year ago;
• the persistence of discrimination and repression of the Palestinians within Israel;
• and the continuing exile of millions of Palestinian refugees;
• all of which are acts of oppression which is ultimately based on Zionist ideology behind Israel;
• knowledge that our own governments have given Israel economic, financial, military, diplomatic and direct, and allowed to behave with impunity;
• and aware of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Indigenous, 2007;

reaffirm our commitment to:

• the Palestinian Self ,
• the end of the occupation,
• equal rights for all historic Palestine
• full right of return for Palestinian refugees.

Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to the Palestinian call July 2005 for Boycott, Divestment and sanctions (BDS) to Israel, to force this country to comply with international law.

To this end, we ask and wish to help start a global mass, democratic movement against apartheid operating closely with Palestinian civil society to implement the Palestinian call for BDS.

aware of the many strong similarities between Israel and the former apartheid regime South Africa,

propose :

1) conduct an international tour of Palestinian and South African trade unionists, along with civil society activists, to be held in the first six months of 2010, which was joined by trade unionists and activists committed to this program in the countries visited, for acts of mass education on BDS aimed directly at the trade unionists and international public opinion;

2) participate the Israeli Apartheid Week, in March 2010;

3) develop a systematic unified approach to the boycott of Israeli products, involving consumers, workers and their unions in the retail, storage and transport;

4) promote academic boycott, cultural and sport to Israel;

5) Campaigns to encourage divestment of pension funds of unions and companies directly involved in the occupation, or Israeli military industries;

6) legal action directed against the outsourcing of the IDF soldiers and for the prosecution of Israeli war criminals ; promote coordination with Citizen's Arrest Bureaux to identify, focus of campaigns and prosecute Israeli war criminals; support Goldstone and implementation of its recommendations;
