Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Ideal for readers interested in Middle Eastern politics, peace studies and contemporary debates on activism, particularly those seeking a balanced, scholarly perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the BDS movement.
This is the first progressive book to argue that the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions) against Israel is the wrong way to broker peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; rather, it argues that peace will come ony when both Israelis' and Palestinians' legitimate claims to statehood are recognised by both sides.

Description
This is the first progressive book to argue that the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions) against Israel is the wrong way to broker peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; rather, it argues that peace will come only when both Israelis' and Palestinians' legitimate claims to statehood are recognised by both sides.
The BDS movement (boycott, divestment, sanctions) against Israel has gained traction and publicity worldwide for a decade. Yet here, Philip Mendes and Nick Dyrenfurth, two politically progressive commentators, argue that BDS is far too blunt an instrument to use in such a complex political situation.
Instead, they critically analyse the key arguments for and against BDS, and propose a solution that supports Israel's existence and Palestinian rights to a homeland, urging mutual compromise and concessions from both sides.
Boycotting Israel Is Wrong explores these issues with nuance and forward-thinking, offering a fresh perspective on a longstanding conflict.

Praised by Fathom for its rigorous argumentation and academic grounding, the book offers a comprehensive historic overview of relations between Zionism, Israel and the Western left. It includes insightful case studies of BDS campaigns in Australia, the UK and the US, and delivers a nuanced, progressive critique of boycott activism.
