Quick takeaways

Deep dives

The Power of the BDS Movement

One of the most effective ways to support Palestine is through the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement. By boycotting businesses and corporations that directly invest in the oppression of Palestinians, we can curtail Israel's genocide and apartheid. This includes targeted boycotts and societal buy-in to ensure these companies go out of business. Additionally, there should be a renewed call for the suspension of normalization with Israel by any Muslim country that has not yet done so, and the expulsion of ambassadors and suspended ties for countries that have normalized. These actions can have significant international consequences and help bring about freedom for Palestinians.
