The BDS campaign calls on everyone to inflict non-violent measures against Israel, intending to pressure it into compliance with its flawed understanding of international law and human rights. It urges the public, governments, and corporations to end trade with Israel and Israeli companies, as well as to effectively excommunicate Israel and its universities from international communities, by urging UK institutions and others to deny Israelis (and their supporters) any public opportunity to speak — and by opposing any “normalization” between Israelis and people in Europe and around the world.
In the past, the BDS movement has focused on Israeli-owned companies with operations in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. In reality, these efforts hurt businesses with factories or farms in the West Bank with a largely Palestinian workforce — and, as a result, end up hurting Palestinians and costing them their jobs. When a SodaStream factory in the West Bank closed, at least 100 Palestinians lost their positions.
Furthermore, the movement may present itself as peaceful, but there have been countless cases of its activists creating hostile and potentially dangerous environments for Jewish people on university campuses. BDS supporters will counter these claims by pointing to the movement’s 2018 Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Yet this nomination means very little. The BDS movement was nominated by Norwegian parliamentarian Bjørnar Moxnes — the chairman of the far-left Red Party, which holds a single seat of 169 in the Norwegian parliament. This nomination is a farce, and means nothing.

MLB.com is among the organizations that sponsored ticket sales for Waters’ “This Is Not a Drill” tour, which “was part of an ad buy by AEG/Concerts West for multiple concert tours,” reported The Associated Press
On Saturday, AP reported that “Major League Baseball will not schedule any more advertising on its platforms promoting music artist Roger Waters.”
Prior to the announcement, B’nai B’rith International President Charles O. Kaufman and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin sent a letter to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred expressing “deep dismay” at MLB.com’s promotion of pre-sale tickets for the concert tour.
“Waters is an avowed anti-Semite whose views on Jews and Israel far exceed the boundaries of civil discourse,” they charged.
They detailed several examples of the singer’s deplorable behavior, noting that he has “performed while displaying a large inflatable pig prominently marked with a Star of David.”
They also cited his involvement “in the discriminatory, anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement” and noted that he “castigates other musicians for performing in Israel” and has falsely labeled the Jewish State a ‘racist apartheid regime’ while claiming that Israel is guilty of ‘ethnic cleansing.’”

“We are fulfilling what the Israeli prime minister said when he visited Uganda: Israel is coming back to Africa and Africa is coming back to Israel,” organizers of a massive pro-Israel rally in the city of Mabarara said.
The Ugandan President is reportedly giving serious consideration to relocating its Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Last October, the EU Delegation to Israel published an unusual tender, worth €285,000, soliciting the assistance of local public relations companies in order to “change the negative image” of Europe in Israel.
The proposal cites an EU-commissioned survey which demonstrates the extent of Israeli public mistrust of Europe. According to the survey, 55% see the EU as Israel’s “enemy,” while only 18% identify it as a “friend.” According to the Israeli news outlet ICE, the results of the survey reaffirm negative perceptions toward EU member states on a number of fronts, including their funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), claims that the EU supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign directly or indirectly, and even accusations that it “supports terror entities indirectly.”

UN releases list of companies with ties to illegal Israeli settlements
The UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR) has released a long-anticipated list of companies that operate in illegal Israeli settlements.
More than 100 companies are listed in the document, including 18 international companies, who are working in settlements across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
International companies placed in the document include Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, JCB, Opodo, TripAdvisor and Motorola Solutions.
Michelle Bachelet, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the list was conducted "after an extensive and meticulous review process".
“I am conscious this issue has been and will continue to be, highly contentious,” Bachelet said in a statement.
“However, after an extensive and meticulous review process, we are satisfied this fact-based report reflects the serious consideration that has been given to this unprecedented and highly complex mandate, and that it responds appropriately to the Human Rights Council’s request contained in resolution 31/36.”

The UN Human Rights Council is frightened of a garage
The UN Human Rights Council published a blacklist of 112 companies it says are conducting business in West Bank settlements, and it said the companies’ activities “raised particular human rights concerns.”
Needless to say, there is no international law prohibiting companies from doing business in disputed or even "occupied" territories. They do it all the time, all over the world.
The countries that supported the resolution to create this list includes such shining rights of human rights as Sudan, Kuwait, Venezuela, Algeria, Bahrain, Bolivia, Chad, Cuba, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, and Libya.
One of these evil Jewish human rights violators on the blacklist is Mayer Davidov Garage, which repairs cars and trucks.
One of its garages is in Atarot, and another in Mishor Adumim, which the UN considers "illegally occupied territory."
In 2017, and perhaps still today, the garage hosted a backgammon tournament for Arabs and Jews to help the two communities get to know each other better. Here's a photo of the event.

The United Nations' so-called Human Rights Council on Wednesday released a "database" of 112 companies it says are conducting business beyond the Green Line and whose activities "raise particular human rights concerns."
In doing so, the UNHRC infringed on the human rights of tens of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians who worked together daily on industrial parks and businesses across Judea and Samaria and in dozens of other places across the Jewish people's ancestral homeland.

At least six countries have filed amicus briefs to the International Criminal Court asking permission to present legal arguments against the tribunal’s jurisdiction to adjudicate war crime suits against Israel.
They includes Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Brazil. Channel 12 reported that Uganda was also on the list.
Australia also filed an amicus brief but did not state its position. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation filed a brief on behalf of the Palestinians.
The showing of European support comes as the European Union’s foreign ministers are scheduled to meet on Monday to discuss US President Donald Trump’s peace plan and the possibility of a common position against any Israeli annexation of West Bank settlements. Such action would require consensus and the EU has been divided with respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu's office quoted the PM as saying that “in recent years, we have promoted laws in most US states, which determine that strong action is to be taken against whoever tries to boycott Israel.”
This came shortly after the UN Human Rights Council released a database of more than 100 companies “involved in certain activities relating to settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” infuriating Israeli officials.
It was also not for nothing that the American administration has taken this step together with us. In recent years, we have promoted laws in most US states, which determine that strong action is to be taken against whoever tries to boycott Israel.

Why is the Prime Minister of Israel allowed to promote laws that undermine the First Amendment? Is it because Russia? lol.

Racist incitement is not protected by the First Amendment.
Any attempt to negate the Jewish people's right to Palestine - Eretz Israel, and to deny them access
and control in the area designated for the Jewish people by the League of Nations, is an actionable infringement of both international law and Article VI, paragraph 2 of the United States Constitution.
If anything, PM Netanyahu is demanding to apply an existing US law.

Abby Martin Sues Georgia Over Israel Loyalty Oath Law
Committing to oppose discrimination is not loyalty oath.
A person, business can boycott gays from service, and the state can boycott that business.
What that person, business cannot do is involve in promotion of incitement and hostility towards,
in this case an ethnic minority.
She with the CAIR representatives insist on the South Africa blood libel,
further revealing their boycott is based on skin color.
Why should state funds be wasted on promoting any such racist bigotry?

EU spokespeople or BDS activists.
Before being an ‘EU spokesperson’ Inas Abu Shirbi spent some time at the Sharek Youth Forum. She was there when Boris Johnson made remarks about BDS during a 2015 trip to Israel. Soon after Boris ridiculed BDS activists, several Palestinian NGOs who had been due to meet Johnson – cancelled – including the Sharek Youth Forum. At the time Abu Shirbi was the public face of the NGO (she even spoke on LBC). In the public statement, the group put out – there is clear and unequivocal support for BDS.
That means at least one of those leading this ‘photo marathon’ is a Palestinian with a history of support for BDS. We have here a similar issue to the one uncovered at Amnesty International where Amnesty’s ‘Deputy Regional Director turned out to be an obsessive Palestinian activist. Inas Abu Shibri is still active with other Palestinian NGOs – inclduing the pro-BDS ‘Sharek’. How is there not a conflict of interest? When someone references an ‘EU Communications Officer’ – don’t people assume they are from the EU?
Most people never read beyond headlines. Often they tell you all you need to know. Like this headline: that has the EU ‘slamming’ Israel:

Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Israelis
Mehdi Hasan nods along as Linda Sarsour warns against "humanizing" Israelis. The dehumanization of opponents is a bright red flag for anyone knowledgeable on extremism.
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah.
