Kolkata Against Zionism

As we near the conclusion of a resolute 28-day (7 days + 21 days) boycott of Zionist products, our sincere gratitude extends to the people of Kolkata and its surroundings for their unwavering support. Their wholehearted embrace of this campaign has significantly elevated awareness surrounding the ongoing issue - an achievement we acknowledge with deep appreciation. However, rather than marking the end, this marks a transition to a more decisive phase in response to the relentless violence perpetrated by Israel. In the past 70 days alone, nearly 20,000 lives have been lost, and over 50,000 individuals have been injured. The urgency of the situation is further exacerbated as winter approaches, posing increased challenges for the 23 lakh Palestinians, with approximately 17 lakhs residing in camps. In light of these escalating challenges, we find it necessary to intensify our efforts.  Moving beyond the 7D7P and 21DP phases, we are now advancing into a more assertive stage. Enter...

We are witnessing a genocide right now. The Palestinians, who accommodated the Jews decades ago, are being subjected to the most inhuman treatment and torture by the Zionists. Bombs are falling almost every minute. A person is injured every two minutes and killed every 4 minutes. There are about 50,000 women in different stages of their pregnancies.

And the bombs on the hospitals - they are not by accident - they are intentionally targeted. Homes, schools, hospitals, roads, nothing remain! Living in the rubble with a risk to their lives every moment, we just can’t imagine the plight of these people. No food, no water, no electricity, no medicines. Perhaps their tear ducts would have long dried. Just how much can a heart bear the loss of dear ones – one, two, five, ten – 42 members of the same family!!! Yes, it is hard to believe but it is tr...

Why 21DP? - Kolkata's Strategic Boycott Campaign Against Zionist-Israeli Products I n the bustling streets of Kolkata, a silent protest echoes through the aisles of local stores—a movement born out of protest against the Israeli genocide in Palestine. The Boycott Campaign, now in its second phase, has become a symbol of resistance against the devastating and inhuman conditions created by the Zionist forces in Israel. Why 21 Days? "Why 21 days?" some may ask, and the answer lies in the strategic evolution of this impactful campaign. Initially, the movement kicked off with a shorter 7D7P (7 Days, 7 Products) initiative. This brief period served as a testing ground, urging the public to temporarily abstain from seven specified products. The rationale behind the 7-day duration was simple: to initiate change on a small scale. Asking individuals to permanently give up familiar products might be met with hesitation, but proposing a temporary pause was a more accessible challe...
