Boycott Israel Network is a member of Don’t Dance with Israeli Apartheid campaign, which is organising demonstrations against Israeli State-funded Batsheva at the Edinburgh International Festival and across the UK in November.  Batsheva is part of the Brand Israel effort to shift attention away from Israel’s crimes: ethnic cleansing and mass violence against the Palestinian people.

What you can do:  

  • Wherever you are, please send off the letter supporting the call from Don’t Dance with Israeli Apartheid to cancel the invitation to Batsheva.  It only takes a few seconds.
  • Join the protests at the Playhouse Theatre, Leith Walk, Edinburgh on Thursday 30th August from 6.00pm and two following nights.
  • Support the daily activity during the Edinburgh Festival in support of Palestinian freedom.  If you or your friends are visiting Edinburgh in August get in touch no2brandisrael@ymail.com or volunteer.
  • Link up now with protest organisers across the UK to plan demonstrations at every Batshevaperformance during their 8-city UK tour in ‘November’, including the two opening slots in Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre (Oct 30 & 31), email no2brandisrael@ymail.com.
