Reviews

The BDS movement is the most enlightened, imaginative, moral, fearless and dynamic blow for freedom I have known for many years. I believe it will be a vital factor in the liberation of Palestine. The inspiring voices in this book will help achieve that goal. -- John Pilger Reading this book, talking about it and acting upon its ideas is a further political act against an injustice that has lasted a lifetime. -- John Berger, author of Ways of Seeing Generation Palestine is essential reading for all who believe in changing this world for the better. Never again should we ask 'What can we do?' Rich Wiles' excellent book, and the BDS movement, provide us with the answers. -- Stephane Hessel is a diplomat, writer, concentration camp survivor, former French resistance fighter, and editor of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The failure - or stubborn refusal - of Western leaders to take action against a rogue State that flaunts its disregard for international law and contempt for the human rights with impunity can be only overcome by a comprehensive and popular international campaign of BDS on the part of civil society. This is the theme of the present study. -- John Dugard, Professor of International Law, Leiden University, former UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories

As history shows us, when governments and international bodies cannot be relied upon to defend humanity, it is the role of us, the people, to lead the struggle for justice.
