Dear Friends and Comrades,
 
$20 BILLION DECLINE IN EXPORTS DUE TO BOYCOTT
A $20 billion decline in Israeli exports and $11 billion damage to its GDP is what Israel's Ministry of Finance predicts if the boycotts against Israel continue. This is according to an article (in Hebrew) that was published on the Israeli business website Calcalist (a branch of the leading Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth). We just got the link this week, click here to read more.

LIKE, SHARE, DO ... AND IF POSSIBLE PLEASE DONATE
In less than 10 years since it was launched, the pro-active boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel movement is indeed working and having an impact.
 
This impact is as a result of various BDS campaigns launched by a variety of organizations, in different countries and in several sectors: academic, cultural, economic, sports, consumer and public/government sector.
 
We could only achieve this because of you. For example, your sharing of BDS information on social media, pitching up for protests, attending events, refraining from certain companies and products, supporting the #BoycottWoolworths consumer boycott and, of course, donating funds towards BDS South Africa so that we can print posters, rent office space, pay for telephone lines, host events, arrange meetings, facilitate campaigns etc. For this and all the support, we thank you. Our victories are your victories.
 
Like and share the "2015 BDS South Africa Highlights" video (click here). Participate and support BDS campaigns and if possible please donate to BDS South Africa so that we are able to continue advancing the BDS boycott Israel campaign in South Africa. Kindly consider a small monthly debit order.
