http://www.radio4all.net/program/41340Podcast for Program: Mieke Zagt on European efforts at BDS Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:51:02 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/41340An important Boston-area event coming up April 25; and clear-eyed analysis of Obama's meaningless posturing as regards Netanyahu's vast new settlement plans. In July, 2005, more than 170 Palestinian NGOs issued a call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel until it complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights. The international BDS movement has grown tremendously since then and has recorded numerous successes. Most of these successes, however, have occurred in Europe, although successes in the U.S. are slowly mounting. To discuss this subject, we are very pleased to welcome Ms. Mieke Zagt, program officer for ICCO, the Inter Church Organization for Development Cooperation, a Christian development agency based in Holland. ICCO is working against poverty and injustice all over the world. In the Middle East ICCO is focusing on a just peace for Palestine and Israel. Previously Mieke Zagt worked for Amnesty International on Iran. Mieke Zagt is educated as a philosopher at the University of Amsterdam. We reach her today in Netherlands.
