The Israeli Apartheid Week campaigners (IAW) have wrapped up their activities in the Gaza Strip by focusing on ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948 during the Nakba also known as the Catastrophe.
Scores of people attended the last day of the event in the blockaded coastal enclave to watch a documentary film called the Village under the Forest.
The film documents how Israelis planted trees on the ruins of the Palestinian village of Lubya to cover up their crimes.
Ironically Israel renamed the village and called it the South Africa Forest.
Israeli Apartheid Week is modeled after the South African anti Apartheid Movements of the 70s and 80s.
According to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) hundreds of artists and academics around the world have signed on to boycott Israel.
Organizers say this international event will continue to garner support due to Israel’s refusal to stop its racist policies against Palestinians.
The Israeli Apartheid Week that just ended across the Gaza Strip wanted to highlight Tel Aviv’s ethnic cleansing and displacement of Palestinians.
