BDS: Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Against Anti-Semitism

"The answer to the virus of anti-Semitism . . . by reacting strongly against perpetrators. They should be Boycotted from official organizations, expelled from universities and political parties. They should be Divested of funding. They should be Sanctioned by the full force of laws against discrimination and incitement to violence. Only in this way will violence against Jews be ended."
American Thinker  "It is a welcome happening that the virus, the incubus of anti-Semitism, is receiving critical attention in a global way, and in some parts of the European political mainstream. It is equally welcoming, and sadly necessary, that democratic countries in Europe as well as in the United States are now providing and funding protection and security for Jewish organizations and synagogues.  


"However, it is time to argue that mere discussion of the bigotry of anti-Semitism though necessary is insufficient. International Covenants, laws in a number of countries in Europe as well as in the U.S., prohibit discrimination or advocacy of hatred that is an incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence. It is not simply an issue concerning free speech or limits on it." . . .
One of the heroes of the BDS movement recalls fond memories about their living with the evil Jews. I sent this to a "progressive" pro-Palestinian individual for his comment; he never responded nor even watched the video.  TD
