The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign is a global movement encouraging individuals, companies, and governments to oppose Israel’s policies toward Palestinians. It aims to pressure Israel through economic and diplomatic measures, such as boycotting Israeli goods, divesting from companies that support occupation, and imposing sanctions. The goal is to promote Palestinian rights and achieve a change in Israeli policies regarding settlements and treatment of Palestinians. While supporters see it as a peaceful way to advocate for justice, critics argue it may hinder dialogue and peace efforts.
