The announcement of BDS first Global Day of Action came at the beginning of the 23-day Israeli offensive, Operation Lead time "during which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and over 5,000 were injured in the Gaza Strip occupied and under siege. A year later, Israel continues its blockade suffocating the entire Gaza Strip, in what has been described by human rights experts as an act of "slow genocide." This is just a continuation of the brutal Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people, he sees among his previous expulsion from homes during the Nakba of 1948, the military government, the occupation of lands and colonization, apartheid and the fierce denial the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their lands and their homes.

Studenti, aziende del settore privato, sindacati e altri attori della società civile di tutto il mondo hanno compreso che l'oppressione d'Israele ai danni del popolo palestinese non può più essere tollerata, e hanno concordemente adottato diverse forme di BDS contro Israele, fino a che non abbandonerà le sue politiche ostili e osserverà la legge internazionale. Nel solo 2009, sindacati, organizzazioni spirituali, gruppi studenteschi e molti altri movimenti hanno lanciato delle campagne BDS per rendere Israele responsabile delle proprie violazioni della international law and fundamental rights of Palestinians.
