Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) began in Toronto, Canada in February 2005. IAW is intended to build on previous activist work for the equal application of international law and human rights standards for all in Palestine/Israel by including analysis of the discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel and the dispossession of Palestinian refugees, both consequences of Israel’s racist structure and history.
