<div>On February 18, 2016 Canadian parliament passed a motion
condemning “any and all attempts by Canadian organizations,
groups or individuals to promote the BDS [Boycott Divestment
Sanctions against Israeli apartheid] movement, both here at
home and abroad.” <br>
<br>
• What are the legal implications of this motion? Is BDS
being criminalized? <br>
• What is the political and transnational context? <br>
• How have activists and university campuses been affected
by the vilification of BDS?<br>
• What does this mean for the BDS movement?<br>
<br>
This speakers panel and discussion addresses this recent
anti-BDS offensive including legal, campus-based, labour,
and social movement reflections and analysis.<br>
