Among the world's most flagrant violations of human rights is Israel's
brutal repression of the Palestinian people. In 2005 over 170 Palestinian
civil society organisations launched the
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel until it complies
with international law and repeated UN resolutions.
Many people throughout the world have chosen to boycott institutions and
companies that are guilty of supporting Israeli apartheid in some way. A
useful list of such companies can be found

are things they don't want people to know. But there are many ways to avoid
this censorship, e.g., you can use the Tor browser, a VPN or an internet proxy
of your choice, or you can download the rtnews.apk app.
