The BDS Movement Against Israel has Accomplished Less Than Nothing

[sealadaigh]

You are confusing "patience" with "fantasy and delusion". These mental masturbations about the demise of Israel have manifested in various Bowel Movements, the latest being the BDS. Ha ha ha.

Well other than symbolic meaningless BS. Eight years of delusion while Israel prospers and gets stringer. LOL

The BDS Movement Against Israel has Accomplished Less Than Nothing

As it happens, there is a web page that exhaustively tracks BDS achievements. It contains such triumphal entries as “Andreas Oberg, Swedish guitarist, cancels gig in Tel Aviv, heeding BDS activists’ appeals,” and “Ten talented young harpists bow out of the International Harp Contest.” But for the most part, the entries consist of gestures similar to the York student-federation vote, which is to say: rhetorical attacks from activist groups, unions and academic organizations with no power to influence trade policy.
From the slogans emitted by BDS champions (including, at times, Canada’s own Naomi Klein), one would think that BDS was on the cusp of bringing Israel to its knees. Yet since 2004 — the period corresponding to the lifespan of the BDS movement — Israel’s economy generally has been booming, especially in the areas of telecommunications, computer technology, aviation, specialty medical equipment, military hardware and natural gas.

The BDS campaign is also morally hypocritical. Not all of Israel’s policies — especially in regard to settlement construction — are defensible. Yet in humanitarian terms, nothing Israel does to Palestinians comprises even so much as a rounding error on the horrors perpetrated by such nations as Syria, Iran and Sudan against their own citizens. The plight of Gazan religious and political dissenters — not to mention gays and women in the Hamas-run enclave — is especially notable, given that many of the same activists who champion BDS also have championed the Boat to Gaza movement and other efforts to equip and legitimize Hamas.
But eight years in, the movement has accomplished nothing. Indeed, less than nothing: For it is thanks to BDS, and similar gestures of anti-Israel antipathy (especially at the UN), that many Israelis — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — have become convinced that their country will always be the victim of a vicious moral double standard. If Mr. Netanyahu has struck a more standoffish, militant, uncompromising tone than his predecessors when dealing with the international community, it is largely because he has come to see the hatred of his country as irrational and unremitting.

I didn't know what BDS was, Roudy, so I looked it up and found it means "Boycott, Disinvestment, and Sanctions" against Israel. That doesn't sound too nice to me, and I'm sorry people are frightened into cancellations of good things for the people of Israel, and I hope that there will be peace between peoples in the Middle East and that all the death threats, missile strikes from child-and-densely-populated neighborhoods, and dramatics will stop. A better strategy would be for everybody to just do their jobs, do them well, and concentrate on a better way of life for their families.

Otherwise, there can be no true peace.

Yes, Becki. The Bullshit Movement has been around for 9 years and all they have done is bully and threaten misguided and misinformed musicians or scientists. That's all they have to show for, besides being a front for Hamas terrorists.

But Seal, Israel losing America means America Losing Israel. i don't see how that benefits the U.S ? Do you ?

well, anybody who doesn't see a link between bombings by muslims and our country and our support of israel isn't paying attention...and that is just the beginning.

i'm glad there are no hungry children or poor schools in america. three billion bucks would go a long ways to helping them i there were.

You seem to be under the impression that if America ceases to be the Ally of Israel, then the Jihadists won't be hostile towards Israel (in the form of bombings on U.S soil, attacking U.S bases in the ME, chanting death to America etc....)
Lets say for a moment you were right, that the Jihadists/Terrorist are very hostile towards Americans because of Israel. So they want America to cut ties with Israel. You want America to bow down to the demands of these people ??Terrorist leaders? You expect the U.S to surrender to them in the form of demands ?

Anyway, the fact of the matter is, the hate that these jihadists/militias/terrorist/freedom fighters, call them whatever the fook you want, is also due to American bases all over the Middle East and the alleged 'stealing of their oil, the fact that the U.S has killed tens of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and basically just general 'American Policy' in the ME.

 

[toastman]

And Guantanamo bay maybe ??

 

[Roudy]

Blaming Israel for all the Muslim savagery that occurs around the world and against America? That's how anti Semites and terrorist enablers think.

It's actually pretty sad, their hatred of Jews has caused them to become steadfast supporters of the biggest America haters, so much that they don't mind seeing the demise of America.

 

[Roudy]

Why then are Muslims bombing and killing all these innocent people in countries all over the world?

Israel as well? Ha ha ha.

 

[Roudy]

This thread has yet to see a major accomplishment listed by the BDS in the last 9 years of its existence, other than bullshit Islamist propaganda and hype.

 

[Roudy]

Well?
