Through its name, its activities were as follows: * **Boycott:** Includes stopping the dealings with Israel, boycotting Israeli companies, as well as international organizations that have committed violations of Palestinian rights and boycotting Israeli sports, cultural and academic institutions and activities. * **Divestment:** Withdrawal of investments campaigns seek to pressure investors and contractors with Israeli and international companies which involved in the crimes of the occupation state and Apartheid to withdraw their investments and terminate their contracts with these companies. * **Sanctions:** This means the punitive measures taken by governments and official and international institutions against a state or a body that violates human rights, with the aim of forcing them to stop these violations. These include military, economic, cultural and other sanctions; for example, by stopping military cooperation, halting free trade agreements or expelling Israel from international forums such as the United Nations, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, FIFA or others.
