<p>Feb - March 2012</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.bdsmovement.net/2011/an-open-letter-from-palestinian-students-to-their-peers-in-europe-8228">an open letter dated October 21-2011</a>,
Palestinian students wrote “we hope you put BDS at the forefront of
your campaigns and join together for Israeli Apartheid Week, the
pinnacle of action across universities worldwide”. In response,
organizers across the globe are gearing up for the 8th annual Israeli
Apartheid Week in support of Palestinian Civil Society's call for
Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). Last year’s IAW was incredibly
successful with 97 cities participating.</p>
<p>To accommodate various university schedules across regions, IAW will
take place at slightly different times between February and March. Here
is a list of dates for the regions confirmed so far:</p>
<p>Europe: February 20 - March 10<br>
Palestine: March 12-19<br>
United States: February 26 - March 3<br>
Canada: March 5-9<br>
Arab World: March 5-11<br>
South Africa: March 5-11</p><b><a href="http://apartheidweek.org/">http://apartheidweek.org/</a></b><br clear="all"><br>+++++++++++<br><br>Skip Schiel (a.k.a Ein al-Nour)<br><br>9 Sacramento St<br>Cambridge MA 02138-1843 USA<br>
