Israel fights BDS movement as pro-Palestinian campaign gains global support

During the summer, more than a dozen performers backed out of Israel's Meteor Festival after headliner Lana Del Rey canceled.

Scientists, academics and even fruit fans have backed BDS: Grape exports to Europe from the Jordan Valley in the West Bank have fallen by 80 percent since 2007 because of boycotts, according to the head of the regional council there.

The election of BDS supporters Rashida Tlaib and Ilham Omar to Congress and cover from senior senators indicate that the movement has reached a “tipping point,” according to Omar Barghouti.

Marjorie Cohn: Progressive Except Palestine Problem

The Progressive Except Palestine Problem

The Jewish community has a special responsibility to fight Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, says Marjorie Cohn.

There is a false equivalency between criticizing Israel and being anti-Semitic. Any criticism of Israeli policy is labeled anti-Semitism, even though many Jews—including members of Jewish Voice for Peace, Jewish Center for Nonviolence and IfNotNow—oppose the occupation.

The BDS movement is not anti-Israeli, as it targets the policies, not the people, of Israel. And actions against Israel’s policies, including BDS, do not equate to anti-Semitism.

Ha'aretz: U.S. Senate Passes anti-BDS Legislation With Strong Majority

Democratic senators were almost evenly split on the bill; passage in House of Representatives not guaranteed at this point

Al Jazeera: US Senate approves anti-BDS bill, slowdown of Syria withdrawal

Tuesday's Senate vote, which was 77-23, sends the legislation to the House of Representatives where it will likely face renewed debate, politicians said.

The law making it a felony to criticize Israel by calling for the boycott of Israel (something Ha'aretz has suggested all Jews should consider), was snuck into a larger bill that gives Israel tens of millions of dollars to continue building nuclear bombs and walls at US taxpayer expense, while genociding Palestinians.

Below is the list of 74 Senators who voted for the bill that now goes to the House of Representative. Each of these Senators is now a documented agent of a foreign power — the Zionist genocidal apartheid state of Israel — and should be dismissed from office by their constituents as well as investigated for accepting bribes or being blackmailed by Zionist agents led by AIPAC.

The Truth About Venezuela

Covert intelligence groups sowing seeds of destabilization overseas, funding front groups to promote ‘democracy’, engaging in economic warfare, media propaganda campaigns – the playbook is quite familiar to those who know the dark art of unilateral empire building. For the last two decades Neoconservatives and the State Department have, with varying degrees of success, mercilessly pursued a foreign policy of regime change in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Ukraine and Iran (among others).

Many will be surprised to learn that Venezuela has been on the dubious list of sovereign nation states targeted by Washington for toppling since 1998.(1)

Israel: The ‘Bleeding Wound’ of the US, Bringing about its Downfall

The extent of Jewish grip on the US Administration and American policies could also be judged from the observation of Mike Stathis who, while quoting Senator William J., writes, “The great majority of the Senate of the United States…somewhere around 80 percent…are completely in support of Israel, anything Israel wants.” And “without the all out support by the US in money and weapons and so on the Israelis could not do what they have been doing.”
