July 9th should not pass without tipping our hats to the 10 year anniversary of BDS–a call issued by Palestinian groups on July 9th 2005. It was a brilliant strategy that changed the political landscape internationally, educating hundreds of thousands about Israeli apartheid & the character of Palestinian Intifada & recruiting activists to solidarity work. It is a powerful tool that gives people around the world a concrete way to render solidarity in deed, not just in sentiment. Our deepest respect to the Palestinian organizers of BDS.
