Cul­tur­al boy­cott of Is­rael, not di­a­logue, is need­ed. We had di­a­logue for decades and that did not bring any jus­tice.

De­spite a White House more pro-Is­raeli than ever and a moral­ly bank­rupt PA lead­er­ship, BDS gives Pales­tini­ans hope.

The move­ment call­ing for the boy­cott, di­vesti­ture and sanc­tion of Is­rael is gain­ing mo­men­tum glob­al­ly.

Many Pales­tini­ans feel the newest ver­sion of the bid for state­hood no longer rep­re­sents them and their in­ter­ests.

New Is­raeli leg­is­la­tion ban­ning the sup­port of boy­cott move­ments goes even fur­ther in lim­it­ing Pales­tin­ian rights.
