Boston — At a press conference on the front steps of Boston City Hall Plaza timed to coincide with Palestine Land Day, member organizations of the Boston Coalition for Palestine (BCFP) and allies announced today they are joining the international call to “Boycott the U.S.” for its war crimes in Cuba. Iran, Palestine, Venezuela and elsewhere. Speakers demanded that the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) move its scheduled 2026 World Cup games out of U.S. cities, including Boston, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) searches at the airports and kidnappings in the streets have created unsafe conditions for the world’s football fans, players and other travelers.

Antiwar and human rights activists in 11 U.S. cities — Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle — are gearing up for a campaign to demand that Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) move World Cup soccer games out of the U.S. because of its war crimes around the world. For the world’s peace-loving peoples, the call to “Boycott the U.S.!” is especially poignant while marauding, masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Dept. of Homeland Security storm troopers continue their war at home against the world’s immigrant workers, foreign-born students and tourists.

Scotiabank's subsidiary firm, 1832 Asset Management, has sold its remaining shares in Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems Ltd., according to regulatory filings reported on 16 February. The latest disclosure to the US Securities and Exchange Commission no longer lists Elbit among 1832’s holdings, ending an investment that once made the Canadian bank the company’s largest foreign shareholder. In a press release on Monday, No Arms in the Arts, a Canada-based arts coalition opposing institutional ties to the arms trade and Israel’s actions in Palestine, and Just Peace Advocates, a Canadian human rights organization, said the sale followed “more than two years of sustained organizing that made the bank’s investment a liability.”

On Nov. 19, 2025, members of Break the Bonds NC, a coalition of Palestine Solidarity organizations, spoke at a North Carolina Investment Authority board meeting to demand the state pension fund divest from all Israeli government bonds. Immediately after the meeting, the state treasurer’s office emailed a link of the pension’s holdings to Ari Rosenberg, a lead Break the Bonds NC organizer. The $6.7 million in Israeli bonds that had been there in June were no longer in the portfolio. Rosenberg was in disbelief that only five months since the campaign’s launch, the state had already completely divested.

The organisers of a major international children’s book fair in Italy have barred an Israeli state-backed literary body from participating, in what is being seen as another indication of the growing cultural boycott of Israel, a state now almost universally accused by human rights experts and legal scholars of committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Haaretz reported that the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the world’s largest and longest-running event dedicated exclusively to children’s literature, barred the Israeli Institute for Hebrew Literature from participating in this year’s fair, which is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors from across the global publishing industry.

For 38 weeks straight, racial justice protesters have been gathering outside a Target in Washington, D.C. to call out the company for suspending its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, aligning itself with the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI. To put additional pressure on the company, those advocates have been calling for “Target fasts,” in which people completely abstain from purchasing anything from Target. The boycott began in February, following Target’s suspension of DEI efforts, and was initiated by Until Freedom, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community activism and rapid response.

Last month, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) announced that it will invest an additional $5 million in Israel Bonds, making the school the largest Israeli bondholder among universities worldwide. “This is a sound financial decision — but equally important, it is a statement of solidarity that reflects our vision for the future,” declared FAU president Adam Hasner in a press release. “As a leading university and a member of the South Florida community, we cannot ignore what is happening to Jewish students across the country, and we are proud of the steps we are taking to become the safest and most welcoming university for Jewish life in America.”

At least four countries will withdraw from next year’s Eurovision Song Contest following a decision to allow Israel to compete. After a European Broadcasting Union (EBU) discussion in Switzerland this week, public broadcasters from Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands issued statements denouncing the failure to address concerns over Israel’s participation in the contest, while Palestine solidarity movements elsewhere in Europe are demanding from more broadcasters to follow suit. “For more than a year, we have been warning that we cannot stand on the same stage with a representative of a country that has committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza,” said Ksenija Horvat

From the docks of Oakland to the ports of Morocco, from Italian logistics hubs to South African coal mines, an international movement is taking shape to do what governments have refused: Cut off the flow of weapons and fuel sustaining Israel’s assault on Gaza. On Nov. 22, labor organizers, Palestinian activists, and anti-war campaigners from six countries gathered online to launch the People’s Embargo for Palestine — a coordinated effort to leverage workers’ power at critical chokepoints in the global military supply chain. The webinar brought together a veteran of the anti-apartheid struggle with a new generation of organizers who have notched concrete victories over the past year.

Organizers with Somerville for Palestine hosted a rally outside of City Hall on Nov. 13, demanding that city councilmembers follow the will of voters and pass a resolution to implement a strategy to boycott and divest from Israel within the next calendar year. The rally came after voters in the Massachusetts city’s Nov. 4 election overwhelmingly supported nonbinding Ballot Question 3, also referred to as the “Palestine Solidarity Question,” which asked whether Somerville should divest from companies that “engage in business that sustains Israel’s apartheid, genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine.”

The Netherlands is moving ahead with a partial trade ban targeting imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel said on 10 November during a visit to the region. Van Weel confirmed that while a wider package of sanctions on Israel has been paused following last month’s ceasefire in Gaza, work continues on legislation specifically addressing settlement products. “The Netherlands is still working on legislation to bar imports from illegal settlements in occupied Palestine,” he said, adding that the measure responds to expanding settlements and what he called “spiralling Israeli violence” that threatens the viability of a two-state solution.

Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is facing mounting pressure from Palestine solidarity groups across Europe. One of Israel’s largest drugs manufacturers and a major global producer of generic medicines, Teva has actively supported the genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 and contributed to the erosion of Palestinian healthcare long before that, Giorgia Gusciglio, Europe Coordinator for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Campaigns at the Palestinian BDS National Committee, told People’s Health Dispatch.

Saint Paul, MN – On Tuesday, October 21, the typically quiet Retirement Systems Building was filled with chants of “Free Palestine” as advocates of divestment from Israel staged an all-day sit-in. The building houses the staff offices of the State Board of Investment (SBI), whose long-delayed quarterly meeting was held that morning in an online-only format in the board’s latest effort to avoid Palestine protesters. The SBI is chaired by Governor Tim Walz, joined by Attorney General Keith Ellison, State Auditor Julie Blaha and Secretary of State Steve Simon. Growing numbers of public employees, pension holders and other community members have spoken at quarterly SBI meetings, calling on it to divest state-managed funds from the state of Israel and companies complicit in Israel’s apartheid system and genocide in Gaza.

On October 10, 2025, the McGill Association of University Teachers (MAUT) succeeded in passing a resolution at a special general meeting endorsing the academic and cultural boycott of Israel. The resolution calls for the association to “take all necessary steps to implement the boycott of Israeli academic institutions, while ensuring that the boycott applies to institutional partnerships and agreements, not individual Israeli academics.” This principled stance taken by full-time professors and librarians is a major victory at a university where such an action was thought to be impossible until recently.

Starbucks To Shut Down Hundreds Of Stores Amid Global Boycott

Starbucks announced on 25 September that it will permanently close 900 stores across the US and Canada, saying the decision was linked to “underperforming” outlets and a $1-billion restructuring plan, while dismissing any connection to the global boycotts that have heavily targeted the brand during Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The company framed the move as an attempt to revive business after six straight quarters of falling US sales. Chief Executive Brian Niccol said certain cafes could not deliver the “physical environment our customers and partners expect,” adding that the closures are part of a $1-billion restructuring drive to cut underperforming outlets, reduce management layers, and speed up service. He described the plan as an effort to restore the chain’s “coffeehouse” feel and move away from the sterile, corporate setting that had replaced it over time.
