"The true story is that after nearly 10 years of campaigning, the global BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement has not had the slightest economic impact.

NOTE: this excellent read in the WSJ is written by the economics editor of Haaretz. It really puts the BDS movement into some perspective. While they hype doesn't meet the reality, I would not, for a moment, turn my back on the movement which has already gotten a foot hold and could grow if we don't remain vigilant.
