generally support all the goals of BDS. But they aren't antisemites. They just don't care if the one Jewish state in the world is destroyed or what that would mean to the Jews of Israel.

In my experience the people who "ignore" the antisemitism of BDS aranthus Aug 2016 #1

See post 2 below for the proof of my point. n/t aranthus Aug 2016 #4

Interestingly, I don't really know if either Barghouti or Berlin are actually anti-Semites or what Little Tich Aug 2016 #2

Do you not read any of the posts on these boards? aranthus Aug 2016 #3

It seems as if the proof of his anti-Semitism lies in the accusation itself only. Little Tich Aug 2016 #5

The proof is all the lies that incite hatred/violence as well as support of terror.... shira Aug 2016 #6

Aha. It's a matter of faith then. No proof is needed. Little Tich Aug 2016 #7

So you don't believe inciting hate/violence with lies & supporting terror vs. Jews is antisemitic. shira Aug 2016 #8

Not even an itty bitty shred of evidence? n/t Little Tich Aug 2016 #9

Huh? Evidence is in lies that incite hate/violence. Also support of terror vs. Jews shira Aug 2016 #10

Here's Barghouti of BDS quoted saying Jews aren't a people, aren't indigenous.... shira Sep 2016 #11

That's Barghouti's own opinion about BDS. Little Tich Sep 2016 #12

He created the BDS movement & gets to define it, not you. He is BDS. shira Sep 2016 #13

BDS is a method, not the Comintern. Little Tich Sep 2016 #14

Barghouti defines BDS. Without him, there is no BDS. shira Sep 2016 #15
