Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement is a global campaign encouraging individuals, companies, and governments to oppose Israel’s policies towards Palestinians. It seeks to apply economic and political pressure by boycotting Israeli goods, withdrawing investments from companies involved, and imposing sanctions. The goal is to promote Palestinian rights and compel Israel to change its practices, such as ending settlement expansion and improving living conditions for Palestinians. The movement is controversial, with supporters viewing it as a non-violent way to advocate for justice, while critics see it as harmful or unfair.
