As an economist in Israel who works tirelessly with both the Arab Israeli and Palestinian communities, I can say two things:
1. BDS initiatives actually harm Palestinians, Arab Israelis, and the wider Muslim world
2. BDS initiatives are almost always driven by false premises and/or lies, and all of them have complete lack of any knowledge of how the global economy works.
I have started to unpack every single one of these initiatives an post them on Substack. I encourage you to read and share widely (especially with non-Jews)in order to understand how these initiatives actually play out, and to learn about what I do that actually does support Palestinians
