How is the boycott going?

[Phoenall]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key U.S. organization of Middle East scholars voted Monday to protect the rights of members who support a longstanding Palestinian call for academic boycotts of Israeli institutions but stopped short of taking a stand for or against such activities.

MESA said academic boycotts among its members — 2,700 scholars, more than 60 institutions worldwide and 39 affiliated organizations — are "protected free speech and legitimate forms of non-violent political action."

And the numbers are so small as to meaningless when push comes to shove. I wonder how many would be so quick to speak out if they looked like losing their funding and jobs ?

This is an interesting snippet I came across recently, which might well explain the reticence amongst some academic institutions to join BDS, especially in America where money is everything and the terror of AIPAC is strong:
"Bocco's lecture was recorded by an Israeli representative at the conference, and a report was handed over to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem as part of a mission to track anti-Israel activities with an emphasis on those which receive sponsorship from international and academic institutions." Professor Israel used Gaza as field experiment and reaped profits from war - Israel News Ynetnews
Never mind, "Mafia" tactics never work in the long run.

See, Phoney/iRosie thinks AIPAC can deliver and proves professor Bocco's point. Thanks guys, keep it up. Every post a nail in the Zionist coffin.

As for the rest of the hysterical postings by the Zio-nuts in this thread, every post just proves how worried you all are, remember, "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."- Arthur Schopenhaur.

Yes, and you must be worried that BDS was flushed down the toilet.

Did you forget that BDS previous name was Palestine Solidairty, before they too failed epically? So what the next name going to be? New and improved boycott movement with with Scope and anti Tartar?

What a fuckin' whiner. Ha ha ha.

Wrong! Two seperate Orgaizations, both growing bigger and better.

BDS had a prior name, and was one of the organization behind the failed Durban conference on racism. Durban, like BDS, was a joke and failed because people realized it was a bunch of racist intolerant nations who were sponsoring it. So what will BDS' new name be after it totally collapses? IslamoNazis against racism? Ha ha ha.

In which delusional world do you live in that makes you think Americans will turn their backs on their close ally Israel over a bunch of terroristic Muslim IslamoNazi Arabs? The American public strongly supports Israel, and the congress are their representatives that are carrying out their wishes. AIPAC doesn't have to do much, it's like preaching to the choir.

We know the BDS movement has failed because its main strategy was to first get American universities on board with its lies and false propaganda. And as we can see in the US, there is a strong backlash against BDS in academia, even to the point that it has been outlawed in many campuses.

So all that's left now of BDS is a bunch of cowards and anti Semites in an echo chamber, telling their own supporters how successful BDS is.

Times change, people change, circumstances change. In fact America has a bit of a reputation for throwing their "allies" under the bus when their interests diverge. Who knows what the future holds...

But for now American universities have thrown BDS under the bus, causing a catastrophic failure. Without academia, BDS has nothing.

What is there to learn when it has been shown to be a RACIST organisation and is being warned over its activities. If it was doing any good then Israel would have given in 5 years ago, all it has done is make thousands of Palestinians destitute

 

[aris2chat]

Funny how BDS wants to get "everyone" to stop supporting Israel by buying their products but.....
NGOs cannot withhold funds to palestinians when the product of palestinians is violence and death or use of funds to weapons, tunnels, propaganda or incitements.
Israel is to be punished for development or trying to create jobs and palestinians are not allowed to be punished for destruction or death aimed at civilians.
This is logical?

History of the BDS Movement

The BDS Movement has a long record of exaggerating and even outright lying about its past. The BDS Movement not only paints a false picture of Israel, accusing the Jewish state of apartheid and stigmatizing the Jews as a people unworthy of statehood in their ancient homeland, but it also tells lies about its origins, its aims and its achievements.

The True Origins of BDS

Almost every statement by BDS exponents claim that the movement originated in a July 9, 2005, “call… by Palestinian civil society organizations for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and for academic and cultural boycott of Israel.” This is portrayed as a response to Israel’s unwillingness to submit to a “ruling” of the International Court of Justice condemning Israel’s security barrier. (Of course, the “ruling” was an advisory opinion, and Israel was under no obligation to abide by it, but that’s another story.)

This is not the truth. The BDS campaign is a product of the NGO Forum held in parallel to the UN World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, in August and September 2001. The NGO Forum was marked by repeated expressions of naked anti-Semitism by non-governmental organization (NGO) activists and condemned as such by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson who chaired the Conference.

The Forum’s final declaration described Israel as a “racist, apartheid state” that was guilty of “racist crimes including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing.” The declaration established an action plan – the “Durban Strategy” – promoting “a policy of complete and total isolation of Israel as an apartheid state…the imposition of mandatory and comprehensive sanctions and embargoes, the full cessation of all links (diplomatic, economic, social, aid, military cooperation and training) between all states and Israel” (para. 424).

The use of the apartheid accusation, which is the foundation of the BDS movement, is deliberate – drawing a false parallel to Apartheid South Africa. According to BDS proponents, if Apartheid South Africa was worthy of a boycott and sanctions campaigns that eventually led to the downfall of that despicable system, “Apartheid Israel should be subject to the same kind of attack, leading to the same kind of result.”

Even before the 2005 “Call for BDS against Israel,” activists employed its divisive tactics. The campus divestment campaign was initiated in 2001 by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a student group at the University of California, Berkeley, in conjunction with the San Francisco chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. A year later, following the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s first conference, which was held in Berkeley, the movement began to spread to other universities, including the University of Michigan, Yale, Princeton, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Since then, campus divestment has failed miserably. A huge blow came in 2002, when Harvard University President and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers spoke out against divestment, declaring, “Profoundly anti-Israel views are increasingly finding support in progressive intellectual communities…Serious and thoughtful people are advocating and taking actions that are anti-Semitic in their effect, if not their intent.” Soon after, Columbia University President Lee Bollinger echoed this idea, saying, “I want to state clearly that I will not lend any support to this proposal. The petition alleges human rights abuses and compares Israel to South Africa at the time of apartheid, an analogy I believe is both grotesque and offensive.”

So why does the BDS movement lie about its origins?

By referring to the 2005 “Palestinian Civil Society Call for BDS against Israel,” anti-Israel activists attempt to identify their movement with human rights and international law. But, this is a façade. The real roots are in the anti-Semitic NGO Forum of the 2001 Durban Conference, and BDS campaigns are a form of political war to achieve Israel’s isolation.

The 2005 Call also creates the false impression that BDS is endorsed by all Palestinians. Yet, despite the obvious tensions that have grown up between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis, there have been a parallel story of dialogue and cooperation.

In 2008 the Histadrut (Israeli labor union) and the Palestine General Federation of Trades Unions (PGFTU) signed an agreement to base future relations on negotiation, dialogue and joint initiatives to advance “fraternity and co-existence”. Palestinian Arab Universities – despite being hotbeds of anti-Israel activity – maintained links with their Israeli counterparts. Artist, doctors and businesspeople were amongst those who – despite the very real divisions between Palestinian and Israeli society – formed bonds of mutual benefit, cooperation and even occasional friendship across the divide of war. The severing of these ties were not an objective that Israelis or Palestinian Arabs sought and the move to isolate the two sides did not spring from popular opinion on the Palestinian Arab side. Rather it was a strategy of a self appointed vanguard that expressed itself through a network of NGOs who put pressure on other elements in Palestinian Arab society to fall in behind the “Durban strategy.”

But with the vast majority of Palestinian Arabs in the disputed territories living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority that had been elected by them, it would look strange to invoke a strategy for attacking Israel hatched thousands of miles away at an international conference made up of overwhelmingly of non-Palestinian Arabs.

Oh Rude-ee, I never knew you cared! An early Christmas present: the link to the "Stop BDS" Playbook. 1) Proves beyond doubt this is a scripted, organised Hasbara attack on BDS. 2) I'll be sure to pass it on to BDS so they can see the sort of Hasbara tactics that will be used against them.
