80 percent of Canadians back Israel boycott — poll

Four in five Canadians expressing an opinion believe the Palestinian
call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on Israel is reasonable, a national survey released Wednesday suggests.

More than half of Canadians polled who expressed an opinion also oppose their parliament’s condemnation of the BDS campaign, which aims to pressure Israel to respect Palestinian rights and international law, and two-thirds say government sanctions on Israel would be reasonable.

These results are remarkable evidence that efforts by the Canadian government, backed by Israel and its surrogates, to demonize the Palestine solidarity movement are failing.

Partial results released last month found that large numbers of Canadians see Israel’s government negatively, and Canadians almost unanimously reject the view that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic.

OK, Canada has lackeys. So does the US.

Israeli Apartheid Week held at 30 UK universities, despite repression

Israeli Apartheid Week took place on more than 30 university campuses across the UK last week despite a massive government backed campaign of repression.

Israeli Apartheid Week is an annual series of events that last year took place in more than 225 cities across the world to raise awareness about how Israel meets the UN definition of apartheid and to build support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.

Thousands of students and academics attended events as part of what was one of the biggest Israeli Apartheid Weeks in the UK to date.

Moral Victory for BDS Activists at UBC and Canadian Campuses

Despite all these massive efforts at intimidation, support for the goals of the BDS movement and public discussion around it, are on the increase. Perhaps people resent the attacks on freedom of speech, or the insistence that any criticism of Israel is “anti-Semitic”, or the almost unbelievable lengths to which the Zionist lobby is willing to go to suppress this debate. Or perhaps people can see who is the occupied and who is the aggressor, and that the struggle for Palestinian national and human rights is an integral part of the struggle for a better world for all.

Is BDS a Bust? - Anti BDS, BDS News, Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) - SPME Scholars for Peace in the Middle East

As far as Gallup is concerned, the BDS movement, after more than a decade of work in the U.S., has failed to move American public opinion. It has been a complete bust. But what Jonathan Rynhold has called the Israel paradox–that even as support for Israel remains close to historic highs, divisions over it are deepening–is more evident than ever.
