Boycotting Israel is Wrong

<p style=font-size: 16px><strong style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>This is the first progressive book to argue that the BDS movement (boycott divestment and sanctions) against Israel is the wrong way to broker peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; rather it argues that peace will come ony when both Israelis' and Palestinians' legitimate claims to statehood are recognised - by both sides.</strong></p><p style=font-size: 16px>The BDS movement (boycott divestment sanctions) against Israel has gained traction and publicity worldwide for a decade. Yet here Philip Mendes and Nick Dyrenfurth - two politically progressive commentators - argue that BDS is far too blunt an instrument to use in such a complex political situation.
