Finally, some real protection of free speech comes out of this whole #CharlieHebdo mess. Over 80 cartoonists have taken a stand against their industrys complicity with Israels military occupation of Palestinian people and their lands. Preforming artists, musicians, television industry workers, actors: its your turn to take a stand and refuse Israels blood money and use of your art to whitewash it. Boycott Israel! We, cartoonists, illustrators, writers, editors, distributors, translators, critics and workers in the comic book industry, alongside people of conscience from countries all over the world, re-affirm our February 2014 call for the Angoulême International Comics Festival to drop all ties with the Israeli company Sodastream. Furthermore, we urge the Angoulême Festival, and all festivals, conventions, and celebrations of comics and cartooning art in which we participate, to reject any partnership, funding, or co-operation with any Israeli company or institution that does not explicitly promote freedom and justice for Palestinians, as well as equal rights and equality for Israeli Jews and Palestinians, including the Israeli government and its local consulates, so long as Israel continues to deny Palestinians their rights.
