The BDS movement recently celebrated their 12th anniversary with a list of 200 “victories.”
They include:
June, 2010 – The Pixies cancel concert in wake of Mavi Marmara massacre
The Pixies are playing in Israel later this month.
June, 2011 – Basketball legend and actor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cancels visit to Israel in response to “Nakba Day violence”
Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons were among the guests at an event at the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles marking the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
December, 2013 – American Studies Association endorses academic boycott of Israel by sweeping majority membership vote after national council passes unanimously
The ASA reversed itself almost completely a year later.
June, 2010 – Carlos Santana cancels concert in Tel Aviv following boycott calls
Santana played in Israel last summer.
January, 2014 – Hollywood Star Scarlett Johansson resigns as Oxfam International Global Ambassador due to deal with Sodastream
Um, doesn’t that mean that she rejects BDS?
June 6, 2014 – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation divests from G4S
This is one of several “victories” they claim for investors selling their stakes in, or not choosing to hire G4S, Veolia and others that had nothing at all to do with Israel.
These guys just can’t stop lying.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
