The BDS movement has shown itself to be highly adept at pivoting to new strategies, building influential alliances, and identifying emerging opportunities. There continue to be numerous arenas in which it faces little effective resistance. The writer served as Chief of Staff and International Affairs Advisor to Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs.
