Yikes. That is a statement.

At some point, there is every reason to accept that labels for such things as a PNC, PLO, PLC, PNA, PA, etc., are merely labels for former and/or existing non-functioning bureaucracies that exist only as letterhead on paper documents?

Surely the Palestinians would like to get rid of Abbas and his cabal of crooks.

Abbas was elected under shady circumstances and has been kept in power with US money, weapons, and political cover.

Shirley, not that old conspiracy theory again.

Why do you think Arab-Moslem cabals of crooks are so prevalent across the Arab-Moslem Middle East?

Do you have one grand sweeping unified theory of conspiracy theories?

Sure, conspiracy theory is a CIA propaganda term used to discredit people who do not follow the government line.

A Canadian anti-Israel group, CJPME, proudly claimed that Hydro-Quebec caved to BDS demands to stop cooperating with Israel.

Another BDS Win?! @hydroquebec Quebec chooses not to renew a cyber-security contract with Israeli company IEC. @BDS_Quebec has been working for years to pressure Hydro-Quebec to sever the partnership. Congratulations! /R E P R I S E -- Hydro-Québec met fin à son partenariat avec la société Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) et remet une copie de son accord secret à Me John Philpot, avocat montréalais, expert en droit international/
— CJPME (@CJPME) August 28, 2019

Hydro-Quebec responded that CJPME have no idea what they are talking about and that they have excellent relations with IEC.
Regarding the end of our cybersecurity knowledge sharing partnership with Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), we would like to state that it was not politically motivated in any way or the result of a pressure from BDS Québec. The partnership agreement of good practices between Hydro-Québec and the IEC, signed in May 2017, lasted two years. It ended, as initially planned, in May 2019. The partnership was not renewed for the simple reason that our needs and expectations regarding the sharing of information in the area of cybersecurity were fully met in the course of our 2 year collaboration. We continue to have excellent relations with the IEC and could eventually pursue our discussions should the need arise.The BDSers will have a press conference this morning pretending to reveal important information about this - the memo of the 2017 agreement between IEC and Hydro-Quebec, being spun by an anti-Israel lawyer.



The funny thing is that the agreement ended in May, and the BDSers are only now noticing. A recent article in TVA Nouvelles talks about cyberattacks on Hydro-Quebec and how they are defending against them (autotranslated):

And as most academics also understand, allowing BDS does not promote academic freedom in the slightest — quite the opposite, actually.

“You can’t teach people how to think if you teach them what to think,” stated University of Haifa President Prof. Ron Robin earlier this year as he became Chairman of the Committee of University Heads of Israel (VERA).

Preceding his election to VERA, in which he serves as the leading voice for Israel’s academic community on the issue of countering BDS, Robin’s own university found itself on the frontline of the BDS battleground in the U.S.

Following last November’s initial pro-BDS vote by the Pitzer College faculty to suspend its semester exchange program at University of Haifa, Robin and Pitzer President Melvin L. Oliver joined forces to condemn the vote and the BDS threat more broadly. It was a key manifestation of Robin’s work with VERA, which he has called a quest to “promote the truths about Israel’s status as the only Middle East society which respects the values of free speech and academic freedom — truths that Israel’s detractors and BDS’s proponents so blatantly disregard.”

Those truths are self-evident at University of Haifa, where Jews and Arabs not only coexist, but thrive alongside one another as students and faculty members. Approximately 35% percent of our students are Arabs of Muslim, Christian and Druze backgrounds. Our Arab and Jewish students are bound together by their love of knowledge and mutual respect. The Arab students “study, work and play beside Jewish students, and this is the epitome of social justice, equality and opportunity for education,” Robin has explained.
