Whereas western ruling classes continue to support, enable, and arm Israel\u2019s settler-colonial apartheid regime, western publics in general \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cjpme.org\/survey2020\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">including in Canada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 are increasingly supportive of the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation. For example, there is growing support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement from a wide cross-section of Canadians: faith groups, civil society organizations, students\u2019 groups, women\u2019s groups, the LGBTQ2S+ community, artists, and organized labour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bdsmovement.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The call for BDS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 a non-violent tactic aimed at exposing and ending Israel\u2019s ongoing colonial occupation of Palestine \u2013 was made by 170 Palestinian unions and other civil society organizations in 2005.

This has been done despite the fear of being falsely labelled antisemitic by apologists for the settler-colonial apartheid state of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The support of the Canadian labour movement for the BDS campaign is critical, as labour unions are key mass democratic organizations that represent millions of workers across the country, wielding significant political and economic power. Labour played an important role in the struggle against the South African apartheid regime in the 1970s and \u201880s, and can play that role again today in the global fight against the Israeli version of apartheid.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Labour as revolutionary, not colonial<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organized labour and the working class can be agents of revolutionary change, but they can also serve colonial forces. If labour is rooted in settler colonialism and apartheid, it will evolve (or deform) along a path shaped by the conditions of its foundation. Alternatively, it can ground itself in principled internationalism and adopt two key liberatory functions. One: to challenge the domestic and foreign policies of the ruling class, which has a material interest in exploiting, dispossessing, and oppressing the masses both at home and abroad, and especially the masses of the Global South. Two: to link arms with labour movements abroad, particularly those that are challenging colonialism and imperialist wars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In historic Palestine, two different labour movements existed: one emancipatory, the other colonial, each struggling to achieve a very different vision of the country. The Palestinian labour movement struggled for liberation from both British colonization and Zionist occupation. The Israeli labour movement, on the other hand, was from the outset an arm of the Zionist colonization project in Palestine, a dynamic that continues to this day. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/content\/histadrut-israels-racist-trade-union\/8121\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Histadrut<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Israel\u2019s trade union federation, was founded in 1920 not as a class-based workers\u2019 organization but rather as a Zionist \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/content\/histadrut-israels-racist-trade-union\/8121\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colonizing agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d in the words of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir: an institution entrenched in the foundations of settler-colonialism and apartheid in Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the Histadrut tried to portray itself as a legitimate labour federation, but its discriminatory practices against Palestinian workers \u2013 especially in territories occupied by Israel in 1967 \u2013 exposed it as an organization tasked with maintaining apartheid more than with defending workers\u2019 rights. For example, a 2010 report by Israeli economists <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/content\/report-israel-stole-2-billion-palestinian-workers\/8664\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revealed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the Histadrut had been complicit in defrauding more than USD $2 billion from Palestinian workers employed by Israeli companies, making deductions from those workers\u2019 salaries for benefits to which they had no access. The Histadrut also routinely and publicly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/laborforpalestine.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/TUFP-The-Histadrut-RI-16.6.11.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Israel\u2019s violent repression of Palestinians. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Israeli labour is founded upon the dispossession of Palestinian wealth and land. It is fundamentally built on the ethos of the settler-worker displacing indigenous Palestinian labour, as a precondition for building an ethno-racially exclusive settler-colonial state where Palestine once existed. Dispossessed Palestinian workers are used as a cheap, subjugated reserve labour force with hardly any rights.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>The future of Canadian labour solidarity with Palestine<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can no longer pretend, as business unionists would have us do, that social and political change in other parts of the world is irrelevant to our interests as a working class here in Canada. On the contrary, principled working-class international solidarity has material implications for us and must be the anchor of our efforts as a Canadian labour movement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the Canadian Labour Congress\u2019s 2021 resolution in support of Palestinian human rights did not provide a full endorsement of the BDS campaign, it represented nevertheless an important change in policy among major unions in the Canadian state. Some at the CLC may have been influenced by the close relationship between Canada\u2019s labour movement and the New Democratic Party (NDP) \u2013 whose grassroots activists, at the party\u2019s April 2021 policy convention, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.palestineresolution2021.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">won a resolution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ban trade with the illegal Israeli settlements and support an arms embargo on Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the CLC has been a little slow to take a strong position in support of Palestinian liberation, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cjpme.org\/bds_endorsers_list\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other organizations in Canada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been less reluctant to offer their solidarity. Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario, Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration des syndicats nationaux (CSN), Centrale des syndicats du Qu\u00e9bec (CSQ), and the Montreal metropolitan regional council of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des travailleurs et travailleuses du Qu\u00e9bec (FTQ); labour councils and locals <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fNEBPGJTbqY\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">across the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; church groups (including the United Church of Canada and the Canadian Quakers), political parties (Qu\u00e9bec solidaire, the Communist Party of Canada, and the Green Party), student groups, NGOs, and many other civil society organizations have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialistproject.ca\/2008\/05\/b108\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adopted Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions positions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> against Israeli apartheid. They have done so from as early as 2006, when CUPE Ontario adopted its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cupe.on.ca\/archivesub51\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resolution 50 in support of BDS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge for labour activists in the coming period is not only to push for the adoption of better policy positions in support of Palestinian human rights and national liberation, but also to act on existing resolutions in concrete ways. International solidarity must not be reduced to symbolic gestures. While taking principled positions on key international liberation struggles is an important first step, we must also build deep links with workers engaged in those struggles, and undertake measurable actions in solidarity with them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unions in Canada must directly engage with Palestinian workers and their unions, including independent organizations and not only those under the auspices of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU), which is closely aligned with the Palestinian Authority. Canadian unions should attempt to foster links between workers in Canada and their peers in Palestine, not just between labour leaders. Those unions should also identify Israeli companies, or companies benefitting from the Israeli occupation, as targets for boycott, divestment, and sanctions; in particular, identify and target security\/weapons manufacturing companies with relations to the state of Israel; organize a broad-based campaign to pressure the Canadian government to halt the bilateral arms trade with Israel and Israeli companies; and declare any weapons technology imported from or destined for Israel to be hot cargo, and refuse to handle it. Such campaigns can and must be built by labour and community organizations, and must seek to activate broad working-class support, to exert the needed pressure on Israel and its enablers here in Canada. They can also help Canadian unions build the working-class power that is integral to confronting the neoliberal austerity agenda in this country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This list of ways to act on BDS resolutions is by no means exhaustive. But whatever tactics are chosen, it is no longer sufficient for labour organizations just to take a good formal position in support of Palestinian human rights. Israel\u2019s dangerously escalating ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism, and repression of Palestinians demand concrete responses. The labour movement must come together and chart a strategy to educate, mobilize, and organize workers to support the Palestinian people in their century-old struggle. Breaking the chains that bind other people will help us break our own.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27b6b02b elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"27b6b02b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-sun\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78278441 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78278441\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Moe Alqasem is a Palestinian community organizer based in Toronto and a graduate of York University.
