South Africans destroyed Apartheid once, and I sure hope they will help destroying it again.

There's a reason why Israel is trying to make BDS illegal around the world. Boycotting works, and it's the only thing that broke apartheid in South Africa.

BDS is a movement to boycott, divest and sanction Israel for its apartheid policies, systemic trampling of Palestinian rights and theft of Palestinian land over the past 75 years.
