Palestinians salute the more than 5,500 writers and book workers worldwide refusing complicity with Israeli publishers, festivals and other literary institutions.
These thousands of writers join tens of thousands of other cultural workers and artists who have endorsed the Palestinian call for ethical disengagement from apartheid Israel’s complicit cultural sector.
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, including the cultural boycott of Israel, targets complicity, not identity, and institutions, not individuals.
Since 2004, Palestinians including the absolute majority of writers and cultural organizations have called on artists, writers and cultural figures, as well as cultural institutions, to refuse to work with complicit Israeli institutions.
Since launching 24 hours ago this has risen to a total of 4,500 writers and publishing professionals pledging to boycott all complicit Israeli institutions.
Names are coming in faster than we can process them.
BREAKING: Today, more than 1000 authors are launching a mass boycott of Israeli publishers who are complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people.
This declaration amounts to the largest cultural boycott of Israeli institutions in history.

Suzanne Nossel's commitments to Zionism destroyed the reputation of PEN America. This is an opportunity to build an organization that serves writers.

"It's chilling to see these lies take hold in the last place they should—a community of writers with ties to Palestine, or ties to lands that have survived similar occupations."
