The Unmasking of BDS
Congress will need to do much more.

After 14 years of being lulled by propagandists into believing that their boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaign (BDS) is a human rights movement, we’re finally waking up to the deception.


The U.S. House last month overwhelmingly passed a bill opposing BDS efforts to target and delegitimize the State of Israel. Last February, the Senate passed a bill, never taken up by the House, legalizing the right of state governments and employee benefit plans to refuse to do business with companies boycotting Israel, thereby protecting the 27 states with anti-BDS legislation. Concerned about BDS similarity to Nazi boycotts and incitement of anti-Semitism becoming “the breeding ground for escalations to violence,” the German parliament recently passed a resolution declaring BDS anti-Semitic.


The Western world is acting, albeit slowly, to unmask BDS for what it is — a dangerous 21st-century iteration of the age-old scourge of Jew-hatred. Anti-Semitism is a mutating cancer, evolving and adapting, intent on destroying Jews in their host communities. Our State Department definition of modern-day anti-Semitism identifies expressions of hatred, including when disguised as Israel-bashing and anti-Zionism, the hallmarks of BDS.


The BDS movement was founded by left-wing socialists and Marxists in 2001 explicitly to undermine Israel’s sovereignty, skillfully exploiting the language of peace, justice, and human rights to appeal to Western audiences. Adopted by Palestinian extremists in 2005, BDS misleads civic and cultural organizations, governments, and individuals into believing that its goal is merely to establish a Palestinian state living peacefully beside a Jewish state. Using sophisticated subterfuge to hide its linkage to Palestinian terror groups, it obscures its extremist endgame — the destruction of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people and the creation of yet another Arab-majority state.




People who should know better have bought into this “Big Lie,” conforming to their ideological predisposition and antipathies toward Israel, Jews, and the West. BDS founder Omar Barghouti calls for the destruction of Israel. He explained that a Jewish state “contravene[s] the basic rights of the land’s indigenous Palestinian population.… Ending the occupation doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t mean upending the Jewish state itself.”


BDS is the latest version of a history of boycotting European Jews. Arabs boycotted Jews in the British Mandate of Palestine. The Arab League formalized this policy in 1945, three years before Israeli statehood.


By delegitimizing and demonizing Israel, BDS flagrantly crosses the line into pure anti-Semitism. Its supporters equate Israel with Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa. By advocating the right of return of millions of Palestinians, it attacks the Jewish people’s right to self-determination. It targets Jewish students, intimidating, harassing, and physically threatening them.


New York Times writer Roger Cohen, a liberal critic of Israel, realizes that “Mellifluous talk of democracy and rights and justice masks the BDS objective that is nothing other than the end of the Jewish state.”

And yet these two little muslim dog turds COULD have just let this ordeal blow over, but no, oh on, they had to have a PRESS CONFERENCE, and once agian attack President Trump, who undoubtedly will have a response to them tomorrow.

Since when do two, radical little JUNIOR congress people hold a PRESS CONFERENCES?

Give these two antisemitic muslim rat turds enough rope and I think they'll hang themselves. They're doing a pretty good job already.

I cut in on the press conference on the news when that DISGUSTING little rag head was spewing her gas and I couldn't change the channel fast enough. She makes me ill.

I think we all have our biases, preconceived ideas, (some call them truths. ;) )

I do not think all liberals are hateful, nor meaning to do the country harm. I know some that are very concerned about many of the same issues that we are.

I do not think they think all conservatives are wild eyed, crazy klanspeople.

Do I think the political parties have built some of these messages up? Yep. MSM, most definitely. Far right and far left-'it's us or them, make up your mind.' I've heard it from the right, I heard it this weekend from antifa folks. It's what extremists do.

Most of us have friends/family that are along the political spectrum, luckily for me most of mine tend towards the center, one side or the other.

We can't change the media or the politicians or the extremes, but we can handle how we comport ourselves, talking, not politicizing.

We all have our realities. I have quite a few friends and family that are liberal of varying stripes. Not one of them would put politics above relationships, unless forced to by another.

I guess there aren't any good Democrats in WI, but in IL there's some.
