20 Years Of BDS: Interview With Omar Barghouti, A Movement Co-Founder
July 9, 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, the nonviolent Palestinian-led campaign aimed at holding Israel accountable under international law.
“This day will be remembered in history as the start of a principled, strategic, and creative process that has isolated Israel’s 77-year-old regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation at the grassroots and institutional level,” said the BDS National Committee in a statement. “It has redefined the meaning of solidarity with our struggle as starting with ending the complicity of states, corporations and institutions with this regime.”
