Is growth of anti-Israel boycott all good news for Palestinians?
(The Christian Science Monitor) Some Palestinian activists are reveling in the anti-Israel boycott’s momentum as it approaches its 10th anniversary in July.
From Stanford’s student senate to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a broad spectrum of foreigners are pressuring Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories.
Israeli leaders and supporters appear increasingly rattled, holding debates in parliament, organizing conferences on anti-boycott strategies and fundraising efforts, and launching websites against the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement. Some critics of the movement say it targets Israel’s very existence, not just the occupation.
