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.”

• What are the legal implications of this motion? Is BDS being 
criminalized?
• What is the political and transnational context?
• How have activists and university campuses been affected by the 
vilification of BDS?
• What does this mean for the BDS movement?

This speakers panel and discussion addresses this recent anti-BDS 
offensive including legal, campus-based, labour, and social movement 
reflections and analysis.
