    You can spread the word. Conveniently, the site has a lot of information about things average people can do to oppose Israel’s genocide and horrific acts in general beyond just boycotting, divestment and sanctions.

      One issue with BDS is they also support the boycott of Israeli-Palestinian grassroots peace initiatives. BDS demands boycott of all Israelis and Israel related people. That means dialogue, building bridges, personal connections, and so on is being opposed. Boycotting everything Israel also harms Palestinians. BDS also means boycotting Israeli artists, that are critical of the government as well.

      Norman Finkelstein also doesn’t support BDS. Even though he‘s very critical of Israel‘s policies.

      So consider this before you blindly support BDS. If you hate Israel and want to see it destroyed, sure go ahead. If you want peaceful coexistence, BDS is not the way.
