Boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) are tactics of political warfare used against Israel, intended to isolate it economically, culturally, and politically.
The BDS Movement (BDSM) claims it supports a two-state solution, and non-violent resistance. As many of my links below will show, this is absolutely false.
On this page, I am documenting many instance of the BDS Movement’s:
- Antisemitism
- Calling for violence/destruction of Israel and support of terrorism
- Criminal activities
- Suppression of free speech, bullying & nasty behavior
- Lying and ignorance
- Indifference to palestinians
- Hypocrisy and stupidity
I have also documented high-profile opposition to BDS
