Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "BOYCOTT, DIVESTMENT, SANCTIONS: THE GLOBAL
STRUGGLE FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS" by Omar Barghouti.
It's been read and spell-checked.
Headers stripped, page numbers/chapter titles present,
text/headings/footnotes formatted.
314 pages. Lots of non-English names/words.
Description:
Barghouti (a founding member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic
and Cultural Boycott of Israel and the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions campaign) lays out the case for adopting similar
tactics against Israeli injustice towards the Palestinians that successfully
ended South African apartheid--namely, constructing an international
boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaign, led by Palestinian civil
society groups, to isolate Israel until it fully complies with its
obligation under international law. Specifically, Barghouti (and his
colleagues) demand an end to the occupation and colonization of all lands
occupied in 1967 and a dismantling of the "apartheid wall" in the West Bank;
recognition of the right of Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality;
and respecting, protecting, and promoting the right of return for
Palestinian refugees. He reflects on the reasons why such a campaign is
needed (i. e. , Israeli intransigence and American international hegemony),
explores lessons from the anti-apartheid boycott movement, and considers
issues of tactics and strategy.
