BDS Movement (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions)

The BDS Movement stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions. It aims to pressure Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories and recognize Palestinian rights. Supporters advocate for boycotting Israeli products, divesting from companies that operate in Israel, and urging governments to impose sanctions against Israel. The movement is rooted in concerns over human rights and international law, and it seeks to bring attention to the Palestinian cause. Critics, however, argue that it can be anti-Semitic or harmful to peace efforts. The BDS Movement has sparked significant debate worldwide regarding its methods and implications.
