Adding to the World’s Misery The Travesty of “Israel Apartheid week”

Last month an ugly ritual event  replayed itself: “Israel Apartheid week”. In Montreal, 500  local artists signed a letter in support of an international campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against the Jewish state: "to protest the Israeli state's ongoing denial of the inalienable rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties, [as] well as Israel's ongoing occupation and colonization of the West Bank (including Jerusalem) and Gaza, which also constitutes a violation of international law and multiple United Nations resolutions".
