The boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement was the outcome of several events that shaped the Palestinian national struggle and international solidarity with the Palestinian people following the second intifada in 2000.
Building on a decades-long tradition of civil disobedience and popular resistance, and invigorated by growing international solidarity with the Palestinian struggle as exhibited at the World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, in 2001, Palestinians moved into action.
In 2004, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) called for the boycott of Israeli government and academic institutions for their direct contributions to the military occupation and subjugation of the Palestinian people. This was followed in 2005 by a sweeping call for boycott made by 170 Palestinian civil society organisations.
