Israel supporters should attend this lecture, if only, to ask searching questions of the speaker…
This lecture explores two grass-roots leadership projects that promote non-violent resistance as a means of achieving civil rights in Palestine/Israel: the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign (BDS) and the One State Solution. As alternatives to the politics of exclusion and militant ethnic nationalism, these civil society actions have gained increasing global support, and are shifting meanings and locations of foreign policy and international intervention. Through an analysis of their historic origins, this lecture reflects on how these two movements are challenging power and may shape the future of the region.
