Omar Barghouti spoke at Socialism 2011 in Chicago on July 3rd, to explain why boycotting Israel is the right approach and a moral imperative for people who support justice and universal rights.
Omar Barghouti is one of the founders of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), and author of BDS, The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights.
I attended his session, and wanted to report back on what I heard and what I took away from this experience.
