As with any picket line, we must WALK THIS PICKET LINE, not cross it. The Tel Aviv-based Batsheva Dance Company takes pride in considering itself “Israel’s leading Ambassador” – a cynical cover for its attempt to artwash the Israeli occupation of historic Palestine.
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, formed in 2005 by 171 Palestinian civil society institutions, and modelled after the anti-Apartheid South Africa campaign of the 1980s, calls the world community to uphold the comprehensive BOYCOTT of all cultural and academic institutions funded by the “state” of Israel. As one such institution, Batsheva Dance Company is structurally complicit in Israel’s current campaign of death in Gaza and the West Bank.
USACBI refuses to condone the artwashing of Israeli genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing. We therefore call for a BOYCOTT of Batsheva’s 2025 U.S. tour, in this way standing with the Palestinian people in their unwavering struggle for justice, liberation, and full and equal rights. Free Palestine!!
