Global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Movement

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement is a global effort to pressure Israel to change policies toward Palestinians by encouraging individuals, companies, and governments to withdraw investments, avoid doing business, and implement sanctions. It aims to promote Palestinian rights and oppose perceived injustices through non-violent means. Critics argue it can impact economic and diplomatic relations, while supporters see it as a way to advocate for justice and human rights through peaceful activism. The movement operates independently of governments, inspiring grassroots campaigns worldwide to influence change.
