5 – The BDS Boogeyman

In this episode, Anthony and Caitlin discuss the ABC's of BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions). The phrase "BDS" has become something of a swear word in the South African Jewish community, which has meant that BDS, both as a strategy and as a movement, is rarely discussed (and therefore frequently misunderstood). This episode hopes to provide a starting point for that discussion.
