A union leader said South African dock workers won't unload ships carrying goods from Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians, AP reports. "If it's an Israeli product, we're going to boycott it, plain and simple," he said.
In addition to their economic effects, activists can and have used boycotts and divestment campaigns as educational tools. Universities, business people, and consumers are educated about the support we provide Israeli aggression by our purchases and investments. Reports from activists have been encouraging and are analogous to the early successes that snowballed into the pressure on South Africa that ended Apartheid. Join us and together we will succeed to bring peace with justice to all people in the Middle East. As repeatedly quoted: "Think Globally and Act Locally."
