Inspired by the campaign to end South African apartheid, Palestinians are leading an international campaign to put economic and political pressure on Israel by boycotting Israeli products, divesting from Israeli companies and pushing for international sanctions on Israel. On this edition, Palestinian activist Omar Barghouti explains his people’s resistance, and the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign.
Omar Barghouti’s speech was excerpted from a presentation by the Lannan Foundation.
Featuring:
Omar Barghouti, author and activist; Amy Goodman, co-host Democracy Now!
