Yeah, I know... I might hurt their feelings... or wake them up...Kondor, we've been through this already. Don't make fun of BDS, it's practically all the pro Palestinians have
Meanwhile, over 2000 of top US universities and institutions have implemented anti boycott policies. In other words, BDS has been outlawed on US campuses.... and from Academia we have this:
We, the undersigned anthropologists, are circulating this petition to voice our opposition to the ongoing Israeli violations of Palestinian rights, including the Israeli military occupation of the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, and to boycott Israeli academic institutions that are complicit in these violations.
The recent military assault on the Gaza Strip by Israel is only the latest reminder that the world’s governments and mainstream media do not hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. As a community of scholars who study problems of power, oppression, and cultural hegemony, we have a moral responsibility to speak out and demand accountability from Israel and our own governments. Acting in solidarity with Palestinian civil society continues a disciplinary tradition of support for anticolonial and human rights struggles, itself an important departure from anthropology’s historical complicity with colonialism. As laid out in the American Anthropological Association (AAA)’s 1999 Declaration on Anthropology and Human Rights, “Anthropology as a profession is committed to the promotion and protection of the right of people and peoples everywhere to the full realization of their humanity…When any culture or society denies or permits the denial of such opportunity to any of its own members or others, the AAA has an ethical responsibility to protest and oppose such deprivation.”

Danny Glover is an anti-American Communist and a Jew-hating SOB who I wouldn't piss on if he was on fire. Along with his girlfriend Mel Gibson.Well, not so bad.
Small but constant acceleration, aided and abetted by Israel making a mockery of international law and democracy, and even of its international friends, day after day.
Danny Glover is doing his bit.
Good on him.
Black Americans still remember what racial apartheid was like, and even experience reduced forms of it, now.
The film, American Revolutionary: the Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs, is due to be screened at the DocAviv festival, which is running through May 17.
In a statement, Glover and nine others featured in the film, along with Boggs, the 98-year-old philosopher and activist whose life is chronicled in the documentary, said: We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and support their call for cultural and academic boycott of Israel we were shocked to find the film slated to be screened at the DocAviv festival in Israel on May 13th and 15th. This was scheduled without our knowledge.
They said they attempted to have the screenings canceled, but the festival organizers and film producers informed us that this was not possible and they would move forward with the screening, over our objections.
Boggs has explicitly stated her support of the boycott and believes this screening is in direct contradiction to her legacy and ongoing work as a revolutionary, the statement said.

According to reliable sources in Kuwait, following this humiliating defeat, Veolia was compelled to withdraw from a tender for a project to expand the “Um Al-Haiman” waste water treatment station after qualifying for it. The project is valued at about $1.5 billion.
Even before this total loss of contracts worth $2.25B, Veolia had already lost or had to pull out of tenders worth approximately $24 billion, mainly in the UK, Sweden, Ireland and the U.S.

Universities Standing Strong For Academic Freedom and Against Bigotry (running list)
The following is a list of institutions whose presidents or chancellors have publicly rejected the academic boycott of Israel in recent days.

‘Tip of the BDS iceberg': Kuwait excludes Veolia from $750m contract

Even before this total loss of contracts worth $2.25B, Veolia had already lost or had to pull out of tenders worth approximately $24 billion, mainly in the UK, Sweden, Ireland and the U.S.
