BDS tells its supporters that it is "an inclusive, anti-racist human rights movement that is opposed on principle to all forms of discrimination, including anti-semitism and Islamophobia". That is a lie.
BDS has also succeeded in making life worse for Palestinian Arabs, the very people they falsely claim to help. This includes backing and strengthening the leadership of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas....
[snip]Using words chillingly resonant of the Third Reich, Mahmoud Abbas said during a speech in Egypt: "In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands". He meant Jews. Israeli Arabs would be welcomed.
Whenever using an acronym in an article or publication, you first spell it out. i.e. “The lie perpetrated by Black Lives Matter (BLM) is obvious. BLM promotes it everywhere.”
This way I know they are not talking about the Bureau of Land Management in the second sentence.
What is “BDS”?
Biden Derangement Syndrome? Is there such a thing?
I’m confused, is BDS not Biden Derangement Syndrome now? /sarc
Yes I do know the correct answer but acronyms are killing intelligible writing! “The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is a Palestinian-led movement promoting boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel”
BDS = Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
i.e. Pull the financial rug out from under Israel.
It is so sad, Trump almost had the entire middle east ignoring the paleo-simians. Now the worlds oldest refugee slums are back open for business
That is a whopper! The old technique of The Big Lie.
Boycott Divest Sanction. All with respect to Israel, Israeli businesses, products, and investments.
I think it’s short for BDSM
