Prospects for a Big Tent BDS Campaign Are Larger Than Ever
Briefly

Political economist Shir Hever, a major figure in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, underscores the movement’s growing strength amid global resistance to the Trump administration. Hever, who coordinates military embargo efforts on behalf of the BDS movement, emphasizes the burgeoning potential for collective action, particularly in light of escalating violence in Palestine. His recent U.S. meetings with solidarity groups focus on reinforcing connections among activists and revitalizing commitment to the slogan, ‘They oppress, we BDS,’ as a rallying cry against oppression through international solidarity.
Hever emphasizes that the BDS movement, strengthened by global resistance against Trump, has significant potential for unifying diverse campaigns focused on Palestinian justice.
With growing urgency due to recent events, Hever's role highlights the international scope of BDS efforts, as they push back against oppressive regimes and militarism.
Through his engagements across the U.S., Hever reinforces the message that solidarity with Palestine is part of a broader global movement, encouraging alliances and activism.
The recent escalation in violence and repression had re-invigorated efforts for BDS, reminding communities that their struggle is part of a collective fight against injustice.
