"This is a book about the political actions necessary to hinder and finally to stop the Israeli state machine which is operating every day to eliminate the Palestinian people.
It is like an engineer's report, not a sermon. Read it, decide and then act."
-John Berger

"Barghouti's lucid and morally compelling book is perfectly timed to make a major contribution to this urgently needed global campaign for justice, freedom and peace."
-Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate

"Essential reading for all who care about justice and the plight of an oppressed people."
-Ken Loach


INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts helped topple South Africa's brutal apartheid regime. In this urgent book, Omar Barghouti makes the case for a rights-based BDS campaign to stop Israel's rapacious occupation, colonization, and apartheid against the Palestinian people. This considered, convincing collection contributes to the growing debate on Israel's violations of international law and points the way forward to a united global civil society movement for freedom, justice, self determination, and equality for all.
