BOYCOTT, DIVESTMENT, SANCTIONS: THE GLOBAL STRUGGLE FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS

Book ID/图书代码： 11650011B46611

English Summary/英文概要： International boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts helped topple South Africa’s brutal apartheid regime. In this urgent book, Omar Barghouti makes the case for a rights-based BDS campaign to stop Israel’s rapacious occupation, colonization, and apartheid against the Palestinian people. This considered, convincing collection contributes to the growing debate on Israel’s violations of international law and points the way forward to a united global civil society movement for freedom, justice, self-determination, and equality for all.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 国际上共同发起的联合抵制，资产剥夺和制裁（BDS）曾帮助南非推翻了惨无人道的种族隔离制度。在本书中，Omar Barghouti紧急号召世界上的正义人士发起BDS运动，以对付以色列对巴勒斯坦贪婪的占有，残酷的殖民统治和对巴勒斯坦人们所采取的种族隔离制度。这本经过深思熟虑而完成的作品说服力极强，加速了国际上对以色列违反国际法的讨论，并指明通过全球统一的公民社会运动来帮助巴勒斯坦人获得自由，正义，民族独立以及全民平等的权利。（from XMM）

Awards/获奖情况：“No one has done more to build the intellectual, legal, and moral case for BDS than Omar Barghouti. The global Palestinian solidarity movement has been transformed and is on the cusp of major breakthroughs.”---Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

“Those who think they are free to disregard international law because they are powerful ... are dead wrong. At the same time it is the tolerance of such behavior that has led Israel to believe that they can literally get away with murder. ... Omar Barghouti’s book…is timely and responsibly written by a man who understands that creative and relentless nonviolence is the only way out of the dire situation in which Palestine, and our entire world for that matter, finds itself.”---Father Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, M.M., former president of the UN General Assembly

“For the first time, we have in front of us a succinct and poignant case made for the BDS strategy vis-à-vis Israel. There is no one better placed to make this case than Omar Barghouti, as this book shows clearly.... This is a must read for anyone interested in, and committed to, the Palestine cause, regardless of their particular stance on the BDS strategy.”---Ilan Pappé, University of Exeter, and co-author of Gaza in Crisis

“Barghouti reminds us what public responsibility entails, and we are lucky to have his re lentless and intelligent analysis and argument. There is no more comprehensive and persuasive case than his for boycott, divestment, and sanctions to end the Israeli occupation and establish the ethical claim of Palestinian rights.”---Judith Butler, University of California at Berkeley

“Barghouti is the future. He is intelligent, empowered, and nonviolent. He is completely impressive. It would help Americans to see such a picture of Palestinian political engagement when they have such a distorted image of who Palestinians are. Some day they will know him.”---Phillip Weiss, co-founder of Mondoweiss: The War of Ideas in the Middle East

“I commend this excellent book by Omar Barghouti.…It challenges the international community to support the BDS campaign until the entire Palestinian people can exercise their inalienable rights to freedom and self-determination and until Israel fully complies with its obligations under international law. BDS is a call to refuse to be silent in the face of military occupation of the Palestinian people by the Israeli regime, apartheid, and colonialism. BDS is a nonviolent way in which each of us and our governments can follow our conscience and rightful moral and legal responsibility and act now to save Palestinian lives by demanding that the Israeli apartheid regime give justice and equality to all.”---Mairead Maguire, 1976 Nobel Peace Laureate
