Is Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) the right way to go forward, for example? "AW: I am a big supporter of BDS. I frankly think that it is the best, absolutely the best way, because the Israeli government and people really love commerce and making money and so anything that interferes with that will get their attention at least."
