UpFront - Debating the Israel boycott (web extra)

Voices from across the world confront, debate and share their ideas in the 'Arena' segment, moderated by Mehdi Hasan. Unashamedly adversarial, the arena features two high-profile guests tackling a crucial topic of the week. In this web extra of the Arena segment, Matt Duss, the president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, challenges Yousef Munayyer, the executive director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, on the effectiveness of the BDS movement. "The occupation has gone on far too long, I think Israel does need to start facing some costs and consequences for an occupation.... the BDS movement has helped to elevate a debate that was long overdue, and that's a success in itself - my own concerns about BDS goals aside. As to the actual economic impact - I see very little evidence of any real impact," says Duss. --- UpFront is a new series on Al Jazeera, With the thrust and parry of rigorous debate, Mehdi Hasan cuts through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom, highlight contradictions and uncover double standards.
