BDS - A Fitting Reply To Israeli Violations
Israel, with all it military power and the unconditional support it receives from the US and all other western states - including its pro-Zionist news media - finds itself surrounded and besieged by a tiny Palestinian civil movement addressing all people of conscience in a worldwide nonviolent campaign against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights.
The grass-roots movement for Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) has been building a global wave of boycott actions against Israeli occupation and apartheid policies since 2005, which have now turned into a kind of tsunami gradually threatening Israel’s legitimacy as a state. The BDS global campaign has managed to achieve an amazing level of consciousness in support of Palestinian human rights among many trade unions, student organisations, artists, musicians, writers, investment funds, global corporations, many western intellectuals and writers (including Jews) as well as an ever-growing body of students all over the world.
In May, the Bill Gates Charitable Foundation, one of the richest organisations in the world, sold its shares in the security firm G4S because this British company was ‘participating in gross human rights violations against Palestinian political prisoners in the Occupied Territories’. G4S signed a contract with the Israeli Prison Authority to provide security systems to major prisons holding around 5,000 Palestinian prisoners, including many under-aged children and women. G4S is also providing the Israeli colonial occupation with equipment and services to be used at Israeli checkpoints in Occupied Palestinian Territories, besieging and isolating many Arab Palestinian communities and rendering entire West Bank a humongous prison.
In Brazil, trade unionists, students and solidarity activists have been holding blockades, seeking an end to the presence of Elbit Systems, an Israeli military company operating in the country. Their slogan is being repeated day and night: ‘Elbit, Out of Brazil.’ The latest to boycott Israel is the students’ organisation of the American DePaul University that declared ‘victory in a campaign to get the university to divest from corporations that profit off Palestinian human rights violations’. The most surprising phenomenon being seen in many universities across the US is the huge increase in the number of American reform Jews joining the BDS campaign against Israel across the nation. They are known to abhor the racist, immoral teachings of the western Talmud whose followers now rule in Israel and where one of its satanic quotes include that ‘all non-Jews are beasts in human form created for the sole reason of serving Jews’.
American reform Jews no longer have any moral connection with the present state of Israel and its Talmudists.
