Leading international voices argue for boycott, divestment and sanctions
against Israel.

In July 2011, Israel passed legislation outlawing the public support of
boycott activities against the state, corporations, and settlements,
adding a crackdown on free speech to its continuing blockade of Gaza and
the expansion of illegal settlements. Nonetheless, the campaign for
boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) continues to grow in strength
within Israel and Palestine, as well as in Europe and the US.

This essential intervention considers all sides of the
movement—including detailed comparisons with the South African
experience—and contains contributions from both sides of the separation
wall, along with a stellar list of international commentators.
