Will the boycott against Israel succeed? Fatima Bhutto and Omar Barghouti | Boycott, divestment, sanctions

Omar Barghouti is one of the founders of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a grassroots Palestinian movement inspired by the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.

Omar is one of the most prominent Palestinian human rights defenders and has been recognized internationally for his election campaign. In 2017, he received the Gandhi Peace Prize for his work.

In the first interview for the new Al Jazeera series ParaphraseWriter and journalist Fatima Bhutto speaks with Omar about the history, legacy, and effectiveness of Palestinian nonviolent resistance in defending Palestinian rights.

Omar also talks about how unprecedented international solidarity with the Palestinians is impacting the BDS movement as Israel continues its war on Gaza.
