"We cannot mistake the quintessentially racist character of such a state. Israel is an apartheid state, founded on pillage and predicated on exclusivity... These human rights violations were unacceptable in apartheid South Africa and are an affront to us in apartheid Israel...
We South Africans faced apartheid and exploitation, bullets and prison, not with bouquets of flowers, but with resistance. We are proud of this, our history. This is the history of all oppressed people. Why should it be different for Palestinians?...
We note how the Israeli state rests on overt repression, a system of structural violence and institutionalised discrimination that dehumanises one group to the advantage of another. Apartheid Israel has developed an elaborate system of racial discrimination, embedded in its legal system-even surpassing Apartheid South Africa's laws...
Israel is, simply, an Apartheid state. Apartheid laws, such as the pass system and influx control, bantustans, job reservation, bantu education and laws resulting in unequal resource allocation live on...
We reject the calumny that to condemn Israeli apartheid or Zionism's 'ethnic cleansing' implies animus against Jews...
We pledge ourselves to be part of a new International Anti-Apartheid movement against Israel."
"The Palestine Solidarity Committee supports the international campaign to isolate the apartheid Israeli state - as apartheid South Africa was isolated by the international community. Consequently, the PSC supports the academic, consumer and cultural boycott of Israeli institutions, organisations and products."
