The decision will make Sussex the first Students' Union to adopt a full boycott of Israeli goods. The campaign comes as part of the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, calling upon Israel to respect international humanitarian law and end the illegal occupation of Palestine.
