Open Letter to Vancouver Co-Op Radio Board and Members: Supporting BDS is Necessary
Submitted on December 8, 2011
December 8, 2011 - Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign–Vancouver
Adopting a [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions] resolution is a position that is consistent...to the principles of community radio...It is a stand that...privileges the voices of those who have been forced to be silent yet have continued to raise their voices clearly for over sixty years. Support for BDS rejects complicity with occupation and oppression. This rejection of complicity is particularly important in recognition of Canada’s own colonial settler nature and the ongoing complicity of the Canadian government in war and occupation, in Afghanistan, Palestine, Haiti, Libya and elsewhere.
