Most notably, in 2005 Palestinians living in the diaspora and others launched the international boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement, with the goal of compelling Israel to stop violating international law, particularly with its settlement policies. The BDS movement has met significant resistance in many parts of the world, owing to the belief that its tactics are unnecessary and unhelpful.
显然，一些团体早就认识到采取严厉措施的必要性。最令人关注的是，2005年，生活在流离状态的巴勒斯坦人发动了国际抵制、撤资和制裁（BDS）运动，目标就是迫使以色列停止违反国际法，特别是其定居点政策。BDS运动在世界许多地区遭到了强烈反对，因为人们认为这一策略既不必要，也无助益。如今这一点将有所改变。
