BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) Campaign Against Israel celebrates its 10th anniversary. To celebrate it and to learn more about the situation in Palestine, we had a talk with Marcel Masferrer, activist of BDS Campaign in Catalunya. We talked about the reasons to support boycott against Israel, until it complies with the dictates of international law and ends trampling on the basic rights of Palestinians in and out of Palestine. We have focused on cultural boycott, with special attention to some of the campaigns in the music field. We took the opportunity to listen to songs about (or from) Palestine, about boycott and about artists who have supported the BDS campaign.
