The Truth about the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement

[Sally]

I think many of us would pass out if this BDS movement ever started up against those countries where people are actually being murdered for their religion or sect. Meanwhile, they appears very quiet about the goods imported from these countries into the Western world and feel that they have the single out the Jews.

The Truth about the Boycott, Divestment
and Sanctions (BDS) Movement

Does it stand for Middle East peace or does it seek Israel’s destruction?

Leaders of the effort to boycott, divest from and apply sanctions against Israel — the so-called BDS movement — say they stand for an “end to the occupation of the Palestinian territories,” “justice in Palestine” and “freedom for the Palestinian people.” But what are the real motives of BDS leaders — do they really want peace between Israel and the Palestinian people?

What are the facts?

While the BDS movement uses highly emotive language in their appeals for support—such as “ending repression” and “Israeli war crimes”—a closer look at the real motives of the movement reveals a more sinister goal.

First, note that the BDS movement focuses only on alleged war crimes and repression by Israel—and ignores real war crimes and tyrannical repression by other Middle Eastern nations and terrorist organizations. When Hamas and Hizbollah target thousands of rockets at Israeli civilian populations in violation of international law, BDS utters not a word of criticism, let alone a call for boycotts or sanctions. When Iran’s government violently crushes peaceful protests and Egypt stifles its press and political opposition with a dictatorial hand, BDS is likewise silent. Why?

By singling out Israel for criticism and economic pressure, BDS employs a double standard—a hypocritical and dishonest tactic frequently used by anti-Israel and anti-Semitic hate groups.

First off, BDS doesn't focus on "alleged" war crimes, they focus on "real" war crimes.

Collectively punishing Gazan's with an illegal and immoral blockade because you didn't like who they elected, is a war crime. Locking up hundreds of Palestinian's indefinitely without charges, is a war crime. Torturing 12 year old Palestinian boys for throwing a rock, is a war crime.

And it's not "alleged" repression, it's "real" repression.

Over 500 roadblocks and checkpoints in the West Bank restricting the freedom of movement for Palestinian's ON THEIR OWN LAND, is repression. Maintaining a belligerent occupation on LAND YOU DON'T OWN for almost a half-century, is repression. Restricting Palestinian fishermen to just 3 nautical miles OFF THEIR OWN COAST, when international law allows for 12 miles offshore, is repression.

Your link claims BDS leaders "Ali Abunimah and Omar Barghouti...openly and outspokenly oppose a two-state solution", but don't say how they know this. They claim the BDS movement opposes "cultural exchanges" between Israeli's and Palestinian's, but don't say where they got that idea. They claim the BDS movement condemns "educational cooperation", but don't say how they came to that conclusion.

This is nothing but another lame ass, character assassination hit piece, designed to deflect attention away from Israeli atrocities and human rights violations.

Which is their allegation, of course.

So you will have no problem in producing the evidence of these "war crimes" from the court proceedings at the Hague. Detailing names and designations of the guilty parties. Or do you mean the war crimes alleged by the Palestinians that they have never brought before the ICJ or the Hague.

As you well know the ICJ have declared officially that the occupation and blockade are legal under International law and the Geneva conventions. Because the blockade is ran along martial law lines then the Israeli's can dictate the terms as long as they are within the remit of the Geneva conventions.


The fact is that the leaders of the BDS movement have shown their true colours many times in the past and are not interested in the Palestinians just in destroying Israel

This seems to be another fallacious argument. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movements are nothing new, they arise due to popular revulsuion against the policies and or practices of specific governments and are designed to put pressure on those governments to change or amend their policies that cause such revulsion.

The most famous such movement in recent years was against South African Apartheid. It is also inaccurate to state that Jewish people are being singled out as the current movement is against Israeli government policies; as we all know, Isreal is a state of both Jewish, Muslim and Christian Israelis, is it not?

This is the method the Palestinians use to enforce BDS.


Terrorists in Gaza have upped their relentless acts of terror against the Jewish state early Monday morning as a volley of rockets slammed southern Israel.

Overnight, the Israeli Air Force carried out targeted strikes against terror sites in the Gaza Strip with terrorists firing at least 16 missiles towards Israeli cities Monday morning. According to the IDF, most of the rockets hit open areas in the Eshkol region.

In the Sdot Negev region, police reported that two civilians were treated for shock when a rocket hit between two homes, causing light damage.



IDF Spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner stated that at least eight rockets landed just after 7 a.m. near the border with Gaza.

This is the method the Palestinians use to enforce BDS.

No one can enforce a boycott; it's a voluntary action on the part of an individual and when enough individuals get involved, it becomes a civil movement that can influence businesses and governments. At that point businesses chose to divest and governments impose sanctions. Attempting to conflate it with armed resistance is both disingenuous, and an insult to any reasonable human being's intelligence.

Let us review the BDS (Bowel Discharge Syndrome) stunning achievements, after ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars of financing from radical Islamic organizations, and ties to terrorists: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Actually, in fact they made things worse. They have been blacklisted by most US universities, and even the Palestinians themselves don't want to have anything to do with them.

I can quite see how Bowel Discharge Syndrome would be unwelcome in places of learning and I'm quite sure Palestinians have enough problems without adding another infliction from Israel.

Boycott Divestment an Sanctions on the other hand has been growing steadily over recent times and has scored a few sucesses; enough to create the furore on this forum it seems. If it is that ineffectual, why even comment about it?

Actually it has been a massive fail that has accomplished less than nothing, and latched on by desperadoes like you. The Palestinians don't want any part of them because they see them as a bunch of criminal lowlife's and nutjobs who are disrupting their relations with other Arab states and companies they want to do business with.
