What keeps you going,” many have asked me, “despite the very bleak conditions which the Palestinian people are suffering due to Israel’s unhinged brutality and crimes?” My answer is more or less the same: being a volunteer in BDS, a global human rights movement that is principled and effective, gives me the inspiration, the moral support and the courage to persevere.
BDS empowers the Palestinian people everywhere to effectively resist oppression, and in doing so to undo the dehumanization and internalized self-depreciation that result from it. Resistance, after all, creates the possibility of a new human, beyond oppression.
BDS is a global community of activists that celebrates diversity, thrives on creativity, embraces intersectionality and respects people’s minds while appealing to their hearts.
