BDS Movement

The BDS Movement (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) is a global campaign calling for economic and political actions to press Israel to change its policies toward Palestinians. It encourages individuals and organizations to avoid buying Israeli products, withdraw investments from companies supporting Israeli actions, and urge governments to impose sanctions. The goal is to promote Palestinian rights and end what supporters see as occupation and discrimination. The movement is controversial, with supporters viewing it as nonviolent activism for justice, while critics argue it can be divisive or harmful to efforts for peace.
