Do boycotts against Israel work? Fatima Bhutto & Omar Barghouti | Boycott, confiscation, sanctions

Omar Barghouti is the co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a broad Palestinian movement inspired by the South African struggle against apartheid.

One of the most prominent Palestinian human rights defenders, Omar is internationally recognized for his campaign. In 2017, he received the Gandhi Peace Prize for his work.

In the first interview of Al Jazeera’s new series Reframeauthor and journalist Fatima Bhutto talks to Omar about the history of Palestinian nonviolent resistance and its legacy and effectiveness in defending Palestinian rights.

Omar also discusses how unprecedented international solidarity with the Palestinians is influencing BDS as Israel continues its war on Gaza.
