Israel fights boycott movement as pro-Palestinian campaign gains global support by Maria Clara Ospina


Israel feels pressure as pro-Palestinian campaigns keep growing and gaining momentum around the world. Catapulted by Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival and BDS, they achieved the spreading of pro-Palestine movements in Israel. So much so, that the United States has passed a bill that can punish a business that is a part of the Israel boycotts. Their efforts have gotten so far that many artists keep backing out from coming to Israel to give concerts and Airbnb has decided to stop listing any properties on the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Israel continues to fight this, and we will have to wait and see what the outcomes of this long conflict brings.
