You needed to start another thread to offer up that wisdom?

Hey, I'm with you dude. Lets find more supporters for BDS to keep Israel's economy booming like it is since the movement began.

 

[montelatici]

Don't mind MJB, he is one of the comedians that provides the laughs. He know the Israelis are desperately funding campaigns to make BDS illegal around the world. He just doesn't put 2 and 2 together to conclude that Israel really fears BDS will further isolate the country and that's why they are trying to stop its activities.

Indeed, Israel and its lackeys are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to counter BDS. Not to mention all of their hand wringing in the conferences. There must be something they do not like about it.

Yeah, and with all their whining, they forgot where BDS started...

And how hypocritical that makes their position today...

I have to laugh my ass off here. Israeli Jews are begging right now. They've pretty much lost it over there and it's kind of funny.

“The 2017 edition of this annual meeting reveals the true face of the BDS movement: that of antisemitism, anti-Zionism and anti-Israel,” Aliza Bin-Noun wrote in an open letter to French mayors published on Friday....

‘Israel Apartheid Week’ begins today in France

Its too bad for turds like you that when people are educated about region's history, and that of the conflict, along with the horrendous racism, violence and terrorism of arab muslims - they realize that Israel is the good guy. C-nts and scumbags like you and the other anti-jew filth here will always exist in some form or other as the cockroaches you are, but in the long run you will never have an impact against the vast and inarguable success of Israel and the jews. 6,000 years of you dogshit losing and you still are hoping for a victory LOL, fucking retards.

Regarding the fakestinians themselves, who are sane and of course anti-boycott:

The Palestinian Case Against BDS

"Unfortunately, almost all of those so ostensibly dedicated to finding a solution have their own agendas, and these may not be to the advantage of either Palestinians or Israelis. A prime case in point is the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement. As a Palestinian dedicated to working for peace and reconciliation between my people and our Israeli neighbors, I do not believe that the BDS advocates are helping our cause. On the contrary, they are just creating more hatred, enmity, and polarization.

Recently, I was asked to talk at the University of Johannesburg. I criticized Israel for its settlements in the occupied West Bank, and the Palestinian Authority (PA) for its lack of leadership in helping the Palestinians, and then began to speak about the BDS movement. At this point, my talk was disrupted by students wearing BDS and other radical T-shirts. They interrupted me and did not allow me to continue speaking, and in the end the event had to be abandoned. As a campaigner for peace and a human rights activist, I am used to hostile reactions from those who disagree with my standpoint. However, even in my own country, I have never witnessed the kind of raw hatred and sheer unreasoning aggression that confronted me on this occasion.

There is no connection between the tactics and objectives of the BDS movement and the on-the-ground realities of the Middle East."

What a crock. As believable as the aliens on Uranus. YOU POST THE MOST HATEFUL, VILE, PROFANITY LACED POSTS OF ANYONE HERE. You're a fraud and a tool, sir. "Asked to talk at the University of Johannesburg," "a campaigner for peace and a human rights activist," LMAO, sure.

LOL at "BDS and other radical T-shirts." And GOOD FOR THEM!

 

[rhodescholar]

What a crock.

Because you're fucking trash, and stupid - and have no ability to defend the claims in the article. You're mentally weak, and can only offer slogans - nothing of substance, as to be expected. He knows more about the arabs there than a retard like you could know in 1,000 lifetimes.

Filth like you remind me of the dogshit that advocated so strongly how "wonderful" life was under Fidel - but of course c-nts like you would never in a million years live there. You have no clue what the fuck you are talking about, go away trolling turd.
