A commitment by the US and its allies to the observance of international humanitarian law, reinforced by appropriate sanctions, would achieve far more than any amount of nuclear disarmament summits or peace conferences. Meanwhile, civil society, through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, must continue to shoulder the burden so disgracefully shed by our political leaders.
Referring to Western efforts to destabilise Iran, the Israeli Ambassador unwittingly endorsed the argument in favour of BDS, saying that economic action is “much more effective than people think, and hopefully it might change behaviour patterns. . .” Amen to that – but the aim, so far, is misdirected.
The global spirit of BDS continues to provide the best hope for peace with justice in the Middle East.
