How Boycotts Are Leading The Fight For A Free Palestine With BDS’ Mahmoud Nawajaa At RightsCon 2025
“Whoever is committing a genocide in Palestine can commit a genocide anywhere in the world," Nawajaa said. "It's a struggle for freedom for everyone."
"Palestine is now the first line of defense of humanity."
At #RightsCon 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, earlier this year, Palestinian activist Mahmoud Nawajaa, the general coordinator of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Committee shared with Almost how the struggle for Palestinian liberation is a fight for freedom everywhere.
He highlighted the history of the BDS movement and its effectiveness in successfully pressuring major companies and corporations — from McDonald's to Intel — to withdraw its complicit support for Israel's longtime occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, as well as its ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Despite facing "civil assassination" attempts and being jailed by Israel for his activism and involvement in the movement, Nawajaa said that it won't stop him nor the movement from continuing to expand and be effective.
