PACBI x Tilted Axis

The Tilted Axis Press team has joined, along with many writers, publishers and bookshops, the call of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Isreal (PACBI).

On PACBI from Writers Against War on Gaza’s website:

PACBI, or The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, advocates for a boycott of Israeli academic and cultural institutions for their deep and persistent complicity in Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights as stipulated by international law. 

Initiated in 2004 and inspired by the cultural boycott campaign against apartheid South Africa, PACBI aims to draw a line between culture workers and the actions of governments funding and endorsing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel.  

PACBI is institutional and does not target individuals as such. Committed to freedom of expression as stipulated in the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), PACBI rejects, on principle, boycotts of individuals based on their opinion or identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, or religion).
