I inteviewed about Yonatan Shapira of Boycott from Within and Combatants for Peace after he was called in for an interrogation by the Israeli Security Services.
Part 1: Yonatan talks about his activism with the Boycott Divestment  Sanctions movement, and how the Gaza War changed his mind.

Part 2: Backlash against Israelis and the interview by Israeli security  services, and people who have been treated even worse. &#8220;I would have been still there.&#8221;

Part 3, why he takes the interrogation as a sign he is doing something right, and why he&#8217;s not overly worried about infiltration.

Part 4: How Yonatan has altered his behavior since being under surveillance.

Conclusion: the Gaza Ghetto action in Poland and what Americans can do.

Here is the video of Yonatan&#8217;s action in Poland calling for &#8220;No More Ghettoes.&#8221;

Here&#8217;s Marissa Brostoff&#8217;s critical but interesting article on a debate that Yonatan participated in.
