It is important to understand the distinction between BDS and imperialist economic coercive measures. There was a cultural boycott and South Africa was banned from the Olympics and from FIFA competition between 1964 and 1992. The movement for BDS against Israeli apartheid has been accelerating since the start of the livestreamed genocide in October of 2023. And as in South Africa, BDS is a complement to the main struggle on the ground in Palestine. The BDS movement to end Zionist violence, and the SanctionsKill campaign to abolish U.S. economic coercion, are not separate causes, but one movement for justice, sovereignty, and human dignity.
