Description
The BDS Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: A Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights by Omar Barghouti offers a compelling call to action in response to growing awareness of Israel's apartheid nature. This manifesto presents a renewed push for the State of Israel to uphold international law and universal human rights for the Palestinian people. The book draws on the historic success of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which isolated South Africa as a pariah state and brought an end to its apartheid regime. Barghouti, a founding member of the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel, presents a similar strategy for forcing change. By examining the parallels between the struggles of Palestinians and those of South Africans under apartheid, Barghouti makes a compelling case for the BDS movement as a powerful tool for achieving justice and equality.
