Israel fights BDS movement as pro-Palestinian campaign gains global support
During the summer, more than a dozen performers backed out of Israel's Meteor Festival after headliner Lana Del Rey canceled.
Scientists, academics and even fruit fans have backed BDS: Grape exports to Europe from the Jordan Valley in the West Bank have fallen by 80 percent since 2007 because of boycotts, according to the head of the regional council there.
The election of BDS supporters Rashida Tlaib and Ilham Omar to Congress and cover from senior senators indicate that the movement has reached a “tipping point,” according to Omar Barghouti.
