The BDS Movement; its founding, financing, goals and activities.

By Ted Belman

Lee Kaplan has written a definitive report on the BDS Movement.

It begins,

The term BDS refers to Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions conducted against the state of Israel, and also a way to attack the Jewish people both in Israel and worldwide. Partially funded by the PLO, the BDS movement grew out of the Arab League boycott of Israel begun in 1950 after Israel’s War of Independence. The Muslim and Arab world and its Arab League, despite tentative agreements with Egypt and Jordan, began the boycott in 1950 and have never signed a peace treaty with Israel even after the cessation of hostilities in 1948. Five Arab armies back then sought to wipe the new Jewish state off the map but failed. The purpose of the Boycott was to starve the Jews out of their new homeland.

The Boycott movement was given new life and recreated as Arab irredentists expanded the movement later in the academic arena, notably in American colleges and later in churches and through labor movements. The International Solidarity Movement was set up by Yasser Arafat in 2001 with the help of two “camp counselors,” Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro, who were employees of Seeds for Peace, a camp set up and funded by the U.S. State Department, to  operate in the U.S. and Europe to promote  BDS and other anti-Israel activities on campuses and elsewhere (see StopthISM.com). The BDS movement is a support mechanism for Palestinian terrorist groups in their efforts to de-legitimize and ultimately destroy Israel. Its leadership calls terrorism that kills Israelis “legitimate resistance.”

  1. ‘BDS gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from Rockefeller fund’
    In scathing letter, Israeli legal watchdog Shurat Hadin warns Rockefeller Brothers Fund that its support of groups that advocate boycotting Israel could cause the fund to be “considered complicit and as a participant in these groups’ illegal activities.”

    I love this lady, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, a doer not a whiner.

    under BB Israel has lost any sense of self dignity, allowing every and any insult from the UN and the EU. Any normal nation and even the Pals would have enough dignity to ban UNESCO and UNHRC from all territory under Israels control. Since they know that under BB they can issue any insult against the Jews they simply do more and more each time, slapping Israels face like a powerless child. They conclude that the jews are money hungry and dont want to lose the moneys to run YS from the donors and will eat shit to keep that money. Israel and the Jews need real leaders not butt lickers. Liberman is the only one who ever told them to frack off. If they cut off the money then let them starve and then they will leave. Have some self respect, ban UNESCO and UNHRC from gaza and west bank as well as Israel. All that power but the pals are powerless and have more self respect which is why the pals are preferred to the sniveling shtetlists with stockholm syndrome. NO one can respect those with no self respect or self dignity. BB is a growing tumor always whining and never doing anything. If you are going to grovel then do it quietly and stop whining to the goyim.

  3. Instead of giving giving Israeli funding to the Arabs, start diverting those funds to Jewish national settlement projects.

    Then let the BDS people know that every anti-Jewish national stance they take will result in Jewish vengeance as applied to enemies of Jewish national development. As a trained urban and regional planner, I could tell you many of the reasons why urban sprawl is never reversed, except possibly for losers of 20th century type all-out wars. You want to keep Area C, followed later by Area B and Area A? Jewish urban sprawl will do it every time.

    To get the job done even better, elect Knessets that will be controlled by hard-core Jewish nationalists who won’t be afraid to appoint military leaders and police officials who will turn benevolent eyes on Jewish tough guys who will organize in strength to hold anti-Ara pogroms in PLO-Fatah communities and neighborhoods. Armed not just with firearms, but also with good old Made in USA Louisville Slugger genuine hickory baseball bats, the purposes of which will be to play Babe Ruth with Arab heads, shoulders, elbows and kneecaps.

    Remember, only winners get to dictate which tactics and strategies are lawful and which ones are not.

    Another tactic I advocate if you want to stop BDS. Invite some of these American collegians to visit Israel for fact-finding tour. Then pick out some of the younger and good-looking females. Put them on a leased Egged bus. Then haul them out to one of the Arab-populated cities, and dump them there. Long enough for them to get forcefully gang-fucked by possibly sex-starved Arab mobs. Retrieve them in a day or two and then haul them all to B-G International for the long flight home. If you really want to be cruel, as I think you should, send police reports to their community newspapers back in the USA. Don’t be afraid to use names, dates, places.

    Don’t forget to channel small but carefully placed good performance bribes to the local Arab gangs, using non-government channels to handle the money, so they won’t be ale to blame the Israeli government.

    When situations become nasty, find nasty people to do your dirty work.

  4. The BDS BS confirms one more time that the “Western elite” (academia, politicians and mediatic) is fundamentally antisemitic. This will lead to their self-destruction. As we witness the events taking place in the EU which were significantly accelerated by the nefarious decisions taken by BHO. An amoral and multiculturalistic society is a recipe for a black HOLE!
