DESCRIPTION:A Non-Violent Tactic to End the Occupation of Palestine … and the 
 Backlash\n\nA conversation with\nJOEL BEININ - Donald J. MacLachlan 
 Professor of Middle East History, Stanford (via Skpe)\nAdditional guest(s) 
 to be announced\n\nIn 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a 
 campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until 
 it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global 
 movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this 
 call.\n\nThe campaign for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) is 
 shaped by a rights-based approach and highlights the three broad sections 
 of the Palestinian people: the refugees, those under military occupation in 
 the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Palestinians in Israel.\n\nAs the BDS 
 campaign has increased in international participation, a backlash from 
 opponents has begun, taking various forms, from new restrictions on free 
 speech on college campuses to proposed legislation barring the state of 
 California from doing business with any company that participates in the 
 boycott.\n\nAt this month’s Other Voices forum, we’ll explore the 
 history, breadth and effectiveness of the BDS movement and the resulting 
 backlash.\n\nYOU are an important part of every Other Voices forum. The 
 forum really is a conversation and that includes you. So come prepared to 
 ask questions or share your opinions.\n\nOther Voices Monthly Forum is held 
 at the Midpen Media Center, where it is recorded for later broadcast on 
 local cable television and streaming on the Internet. Previous forums (and 
 other videos) can be seen at our YouTube Channel or the Video Page at our 
 website.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/04/18/18785339.php
