Now on BDS (Boycotts, Divestments, Sanctions)
This week, the world elites who think they run our lives and who make the
poor poorer and the rich richer are meeting to again conspire about how to
manage those of us who resist their hegemeony while also enjoying skiing in
Davos, Switzerland. In 2006 I managed to upset their system a bit by
getting an article in their glossy magazine titled Boycott Israel. Read the
interesting story here including my article on why all the world should
boycott this apartheid state if they want peace:

When governments fail to act against apartheid/genocide (and in some cases
like Germanuy, US, UK), then people have an obligation to engage in and
push for boycott, divestments and sanctions (BDS). This is a moral, right,
legal, non-violent strategy to effect a change in behavior of criminal
governments. I urge you to spread the word. Here is the main website
http://bdsmovement.net (see also https://bdsmovement.net/pacbi and
https://boycottisrael.info/)
In the late 1990s in the US I and a few colleagues at universities started
an effort for academic and cultural boycott of Israel that garnered
thousands of supporters. That movement is still going strong.
I highly recommend Omar Barghouthi's book on BDS:

There are BDS campaigns in different countries. For example in Canada and
australia
