Direct actions, rallies and protests took place across Palestine and in numerous cities across the world on March 30, 2011, to commemorate the 35th annual Land Day, an important day of remembrance for six Palestinians with Israeli citizenship gunned down by Israeli forces in 1976 during a general strike in protest of expanded land confiscation inside the state. Land Day commemorative events took place in several areas of Manhattan and Brooklyn, where Adalah-NY and other solidarity activists staged protests in support of the boycott of Israeli products.

The fight between Israel's supporters and detractors bubbled over in March 2011 when New York’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center canceled a pro-Palestinian group's event for which the center had rented its space. The cancellation followed complaints from supporters of Israel within the gay community. The center’s move set off a heated dispute within the gay community. In this debate and elsewhere, Israel and its supporters are highlighting the Jewish state's progressive attitude toward gay and lesbian issues.

American folk music legend Pete Seeger has apparently joined the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. According to the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), the American musician expressed regret for his previous support of an event sponsored by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) and threw his support for the BDS movement at a meeting in New York last month.

Actions for justice are taking place all over the country, including some in which Adalah-NY and others have participated against CSI, a tear gas manufacturer whose products have been involved in the deaths of activists in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and elsewhere in the Middle East.
