These people favour BDS against all Israeli goods and initiatives (though presumably, it goes without saying, not those Israeli inventions and medical breakthroughs that enhance their own lives) and they mean business. This is no amateurish video. It's a well-made, far-ranging piece of vilification against Israel, the only Jewish State in the world and – well, well, what a coincidence! – the only country in the world whose existence is challenged.
What these haters overlook (or maybe it doesn't matter to them) is that the "Palestinian state" yearning to be born already has anti-Jewish apartheid as a principle in its draft constitution. See here
(Hat tip: E.G.)
There is, however, one person featured in the video who talks sense. He's Dr Ezra Golombok, director of the Israel Information Office in Scotland.
As outlined in The Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History, Dr Golombok, a retired research chemist, is the son of Lithuanian-born Zevi (or Zvi) Golombok (1880-1954), who co-founded a Yiddish-language Zionist newspaper in Scotland as well as a Yiddish weekly, and who went on to found the English-language Glasgow Jewish Echo (ran from 1928-92), which Ezra edited from 1950.
Israel needs to ban Scotland from the use or sale or licensing or exploitation of all intellectual property ever developed in Israel. Period. Every drug, every piece of software, electronics, every piece of academic research. Then it need to expel every single Scot in Israel ASAP for a period of 20 years. This is war.
ReplyDeleteOch, lassie, there are still guid Scots around!

Some key BDS supporters are clear about their movement’s goals:
Dr. Norman Finkelstein, a BDS supporter, critiqued the BDS movement for being “dishonest” about their goals, saying, “We have to be honest, and I loathe the disingenuousness. They [BDS] don’t want Israel… And they think they’re very clever because they know the result of implementing all three [demands] is what? What’s the result? You know and I know, what’s the result? There’s no Israel.”
Dr. As’ad AbuKhalil, a Northern California BDS campaigner, responded to Finkelstein in Al Akhbar: “Finkelstein rightly asks whether the real aim of BDS is to bring down the state of Israel. Here, I agree with him that it is. That should be stated as an unambiguous goal. There should not be any equivocation on the subject. Justice and freedom for the Palestinians are incompatible with the existence of the state of Israel.”
“BDS does mean the end of the Jewish state… Ending the occupation doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t mean upending the Jewish state itself.” (Ahmed Moor, leading U.S. BDS activist)
Dr. Fink can, as far as I'm concerned, burn in uranium hell. After decades of coming close to holocaust denial w/o actually claiming it all of a sudden he's outraged that people listen to him? Sorry Dr, but they're YOUR Nazis, you embrace them.
