Hidden behind the genocidal destruction of Gaza is a much larger, no less threatening agenda: normalizing Israeli apartheid regime over all historic Palestine while erasing the Palestinian struggle entirely from the global agenda.

Having taken 85% of Palestine’s land, settled it with Jews and driven half the Palestinian people into exile, normalization mean international acceptance of Israel’s locking the Palestinians into truncated, non-sovereign, non-viable enclaves on 15% of Palestine, controlled entirely by Israel itself – the permanent imprisonment of the Palestinians into a Bantustan-“state.”

‍     Normalization means closure for the Palestinians’ struggle for Palestinian rights.
    What does a “Campaign Against Normalizing Israeli Apartheid” look like?
