Naomi Klein on boycott, divestment, and sanction

Via Julie at Modern Mitzvot, I learn of this article by Naomi Klein on boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS).

Here at SJJP we’re of mixed opinion as regards BDS, and many of our membership do support and participate in the BDS campaign against Israel. Others are uneasy about it, or oppose it. Klein’s article addresses major objections to the BDS campaign and provides counterarguments to each. It’s well worth a read, whatever your position on BDS.

There are opposing views of course. Including Martha Nussbaum’s article on boycotts. Never let it be said that we do not encourage wholehearted debate here at SJJP.

Having read Klein, I’m now off to ponder it.
