Just another Muslim fantasy.
"Over the last two and a half years, supporters of Palestinian rights in Boston have mounted a BDS campaign aimed at denying a new contract to run the Massachusetts commuter rail to Veolia, one of three companies that formed the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad (MBCR). With a 60 percent stake in the MBCR, Veolia has been in charge of operating and maintaining the trains since 2003.
On January 8, they tasted victory, when a contract that could be worth as much as $4.26 billion was awarded to the MBCR’s sole competitor, Keolis America, by a vote of the joint Board for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT).

Veolia a local BDS target loses Massachusetts commuter rail contract Mondoweiss
Instead of attacking Israeli companies that work in the WB, now they are targeting french companies because they bid for business contracts in Israel.
Next it will be business that hire people who have visited Israel or employees that are jewish?
Gaza and WB do business with Israel, will they be the next targets of the BDS?
This is getting more ridiculous by the week
I realize that Gaza George is salivating over this, but what he overlooks is that China (with one billion people) and India (with 850 millions people) are going to start doing business with Israel. Besides, Aris, can you see anyone turning down one of the medical or technological innovations coming out of Israel. I assure you that if Gaza George lands up in

I realize Gaza George is salivating over this, but what he forgets is that China (with one billion people) and India (with 850 million people) are going to do business with Israel along with other countries. Additionally, Aris, no one is going to turn down an Israeli medical or technological innovation coming out of Israel if it helps him or her. Do you think that if Gaza George happened to land up in the Los Angeles County Hospital that he would turn something down from Israel if it helped him?
"The success of BDS in the United States is largely due to:
"Unprecedented exposure of Israel’s brutal treatment of Palestinians, especially of Operation Cast Lead in the winter of 2008–09 and the 2010 massacre of nine unarmed civilians aboard a humanitarian aid vessel in international waters, the Mavi Marmara.
"The leadership of what may be called Generation Palestine [7], mostly young Arab-Americans and Muslims, but also many young Jews and others, who came of age in the atmosphere of heightened Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism in the post–9/11 United States.
"The application of methods used in the successful South African anti-apartheid movement that spread to US campuses and reached a crescendo in the 1980s. Arguably, each of these developments discussed below is a result of and leads to many more, but these appear to be three key catalysts in the rising US BDS movement.
"Israel against itself..."
will soon vanish from the page of time.

What s behind the rise of BDS BDSmovement.net
The brutality of other regional countries make even the worse actions of Israel look angelic by comparison. No country or military is without mistakes or some over exuberance in it's tactics. Their first concern is not for those they have to deal with but for the security of their own people and state. Israel is struggling for it's survival.
BDS does not more to harm the palestinians that to help them.
Israel is not giving up the high ground, but till recently it was willing to help them form a state on area A & B. Even the PA has rejected the actions of hamas and wants to separate from them, or have them eliminated.
Apart from G, Israel and the PA can and have managed to work together quite well when they try. What happens in G is the fault of hamas. There are still pockets of terrorists in the WB, but Israel and the PA are dealing with them.
Israel has allowed more workers into Israel, more freedom of movement from the WB, they will not be changing the wall near Bethlehem, they do mot require permits for those over 40 to go to the mount to pray, they are supplying more water for the growing palestinian cities in the WB, more programs are being developed for women entrepreneurs so they can have their own independence.
What happens in G, you have to blame hamas for.
