#Palestine / BDS: a writer's dilemma amidst Gaza genocide
Viet Thanh Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American writer, recently clarified his stance on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Despite the publication of his short story collection "The Refugees" in Hebrew by an Israeli publisher, Nguyen reaffirmed his support for BDS, a movement he initially endorsed in 2016 [https://usacbi.org/2016/06/viet-thanh-nguyen-2016-pulitzer-prize-winner-endorses-academic-and-cultural-boycott-of-israel/] . He signed a call to boycott Israeli cultural institutions complicit in violating Palestinian rights [https://www.palfest.org/press-release-refusing-complicity] , a decision that followed the October 2023 Israeli assault on Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of over 45,000 Palestinians and injuries to more than 106,000 others.
