As the war on Gaza rolls into its second year, global calls for accountability grow louder. The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign aimed at pressuring Israel to comply with international law has meanwhile gained momentum.

Israel's genocidal war has not only devastated the Gaza Strip, but has also intensified violations in the occupied West Bank, where land confiscation, water shortages, and settler violence have reached alarming levels. Over the past year, these combined crises have heightened the suffering of Palestinians, as Israel's inhumane policies continue to tighten their grip on Palestinian land and resources.

In the meantime, global calls for accountability grow louder. The one movement that has surged its influence during this time is the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a grassroots people’s initiative aimed at pressuring Israel to comply with international law through economic and cultural boycotts.
