Shir Hever, military embargo coordinator for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, joins Bad Faith to explain how BDS is effectively squeezing the Israeli economy and souring Israelis on the war against Gaza. The Israeli-German economist explains how financial pressures are being felt by the Israeli public and how an international solidarity movement is effectively blocking military aid from being sent to Israel. He also weighs in on the ad hoc boycotts that have sprung up against companies like McDonald's and KFC.
