Canada Joins Growing anti-BDS Bandwagon

[SAYIT]

Canada has jumped on the anti-BDS bandwagon, joining France, the United Kingdom and, once Congress's motion passes, the United States.

Interestingly, it wasn't former PM Harper's pro-Israel gov't that made to move but rather current PM Trudeau's liberal party that rejected BDS.

These Western nations have seen enough blatant and subtle antisemitism to recognize it when they see it.

“BDS is a non-violent human-rights movement that seeks to end Israel’s regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid,” said Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human-rights advocate and co-founder of the BDS movement, stressing the limits of the movement.

“If the goals of BDS, namely freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinians, would ‘destroy’ Israel, what does that say about Israel? Did they destroy South Africa or Alabama? The only things they really end in all these situations of oppression are injustice and inequality.”

Is it unfair to single out Israel?

This was another popular refrain in Parliament – that the BDS movement’s singling out Israel from among all nations is proof of its anti-Semitic nature.

Yes, the BDS campaign singles out Israel, quite naturally. It was started by a group of Palestinians, including Mr. Barghouti, to elicit help in dealing with Palestinians’ biggest problems. It was not intended to solve all the problems of the world. Just as the worldwide campaign against apartheid in South Africa did not address the ills of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, or the dictatorship in Somalia, this BDS movement is uniquely tailored to safeguarding Palestinian rights.

The fact that this anti-BDS parliamentary motion passed is ridiculous, says Diana Buttu, a Canadian-born Arab Israeli and former adviser to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.

“Canada follows international law and correctly labels Israel’s colonization of the West Bank as illegal,” she notes. “BDS aims to hold Israel accountable for its illegal acts,” she points out, “yet the government passes a resolution condemning those who aim to uphold international law and Canadian foreign policy?”

The world is seeing that BDS is just a front for racism, Nazism, anti Semitism, white supremacists and Jew hatred. So to reduce the chances of criminals getting of in the future the governments are defining the usual tactics as criminal activity. The US had the right idea, threaten to remove funding for any college that insists on running with BDS and see what the schools do.

Damn, what next?

A compulsory 10% tax levy to 'donate' to Israel to show your aren't and 'anti-semite'?

I think that people miss the point with BDS movement...

Is it a good 'idea'? Well, it certainly has raised people's awareness and individuals have choices... That you cannot outlaw...

Big businesses will generally trade where they can make profits and, often, have very little interest in 'humanitarian issues' but for individuals BDS is good at opening peoples eyes and giving individuals choice whether to buy or not buy Israeli products made in occupied territory!

, Israel is the one that keeps the BDS movement alive, same as they keep anti Semitism alive. Israel does whatever to keep attention on
Israel, crying our 'poor us'.

You IBS guys ever bother to take a look at the GDP of these places and figure out whats actually going on ? Or is this just some kinda contest to see who can make up the biggest lie they can dream of ?

Israeli's economy is booming. The Arab Muslims in the area are a bust. Economies tanking. Civil war. General anarchy.

So tell us again how this IBS or whatever you call it is working out for your team. And while your at it, can you explain this

Source: The source for these unemployment numbers are the CIA World Factbook on Israel (2014), CIA World Factbook on the West Bank (2014) and the CIA World Factbook on the Gaza Strip (2014).

The numbers aren't in for 2015 but yeah, not looking to good for this IBS movement, pun intended

I guess that is what worn torn oppression looks like. I heard the orthodox jews are really a drain on Israel's economy as well, since they don't work.

But thanks we can cut aid to Israel , since they have such a booming economy. I didn't check your figures but some people actually have pride unlike the Israelites who beg for money every chance they get those , apparently the Palestinians need aid and we should give Israel's aid to them.

Its more like what years of terrorist acts will get you. Locked away from polite society.

And we did cut aid to Israel, the only aid they get military at this point and 75% of that is required to be spent on US weapons purchases. But again the biggest beneficiary of the cooperation between us is live fire field testing of all the latest equipment.

You can always count on the pali's to be just dumb enough to pull something in which case the Israeli's open fire with all the latest and get back to us how well it worked.

So yeah, its a win win situation.

Whats really funny is that the best the loons can do is come up with some ridiculous IBS movement that in the end only harms themselves. 500 jobs lost, and some of you folks want to think thats a victory. Beyond stupid is all it is. The Israeli's just gained 500 jobs and nothing changed.

Parliament votes to reject Israel boycott campaign

"BDS is not progressive.

It supports, for instance, a full boycott of Israeli scholars and academic institutions, denying them the same academic freedom and free-speech rights that, in the height of hypocrisy, BDS and its campus adherents often claim they themselves are denied.

BDS advocates this boycott knowing full well that many of these Israeli academics are at the core of the progressive movement supporting Palestinian statehood, and BDS directly undermines these important efforts by blocking these intellectuals’ interactions with like-minded scholars around the world.

This is the same BDS movement that, at a recent national LGBT Conference in Chicago, physically shut down an event set to feature leaders of the Jerusalem Open House (the LGBT center in Israel), silencing them and denying their right to share their important work serving LGBT Israelis and Palestinians alike.

That’s not a progressive tactic, that’s a fascist tactic.

But equally important, BDS isn’t pro-peace. BDS’s overly simplistic and one-sided approaches do a disservice to the cause of peace and stability by unfairly placing blame entirely on one side, and by attempting to delegitimize one party on the world stage.

BDS does nothing to bring either party back to real negotiations or to enhance a better understanding of the complexity of this conflict." - Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s (D-Manhattan/Brooklyn)

Bullshit As we have seen in the UK the BDS movement is just a cover for left wing Nazism and racism to allow rent-a-mob lefties to intimidate and violently stop people from what they want to do. They are getting so blatant that they made headline news when they forced the vote for Corbyn by filling unions with paid members to sway the vote their way. They are not interested in the humanity or ethics involved just so they can force others to bend to their will.

THIS IS WHY THEY ARE NOT SEEN ON THE STREETS ANYMORE AS THE PEOPLE DONT WANT THEM

Not really it is the neo Marxists who are keeping BDS alive and in the process losing much of their support. Just look at the mess they have made of Europe and they will be trying to blame it on the Jews next. I wonder what the sermon was about today in the mosques, I will have to go to one of the Europe boards to find out.

Cant see how as they are so small in numbers, why the numbers are so small they need to hire Palestinians to swell the numbers attending the meettings.

The Palestinians get $1.1 billion from UNRWA alone every year, with 4 times this coming from other sources. So they don't need aid, they need lessons in how to spend it

“The real aim of BDS is to bring down the state of Israel….That should be stated as an unambiguous goal. There should not be any equivocation on the subject. Justice and freedom for the Palestinians are incompatible with the existence of the state of Israel.”

-As’ad AbuKhalil

“[Palestinians have a right to] resistance by any means, including armed resistance. [Jews] aren’t indigenous just because you say you are….[Jews] are not a people…the UN’s principle of the right to self-determination applies only to colonized people who want to acquire their rights. ”

“I think the BDS movement will gain strength from forthrightly explaining why Israel has no right to exist.”
