    Default The Myth of BDS Success

    Poor Moontwat, he will have to give up reading Harry Potter now!!

    Anytime a student government votes to divest from Israel or a celebrity chooses not to perform in Israel a cry goes out throughout the Jewish world that Israel is in danger and the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign (BDS) is winning. It is not true.

    Take the example of celebrity boycotts. When Lorde cowardly gave in to pressure to cancel her Israel concert, the BDS trolls crowed and the pro-Israel activists expressed outrage. What was the impact? A lot of disappointed Israeli fans. Meanwhile, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Backstreet Boys, Nick Cave, and Bryan Adams were among those who did perform in Israel. Upcoming shows include: Foreigner, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne and Enrique Iglesias. Yes, some celebrities (mostly B- and C-listers) are shunning Israel, but the BDSers have failed completely in orchestrating a mass artistic boycott.

    Perhaps the biggest recent celebrity news was the vigorous attack on anti-Semites by author J.K. Rowling, a vocal opponent of BDS. After tweeting the definition of anti-Semitism in response to efforts by some of her followers to contort its meaning, she asked: “Would your response to any other form of racism or bigotry be to squirm, deflect or justify?” After revealing that Jews in her timeline were bombarded by anti-Jewish comments, Rowling said, “perhaps some of us non-Jews should start shouldering the burden.”

    Why?
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    Lemme guess, it was one of those newfangled definitions of antisemitism that basically say "Any criticism at all of Israel, no matter how justified, is antisemitism".

    So I am in good company then, as J. K. Rowling must be a tard as well!! Anyway South Africa is sadly falling apart, hopefully it won't go the same way as Zimbabwe under Mugabe. I remember you vociferously defending that evil bastard, seems there is no despot you don't like.

    BDS must be shouted down so the Reich wing Israelis can cleanse their lands like america did.

    pretty sure asking the jews to get killed by muslims is antisemitic.

    On a related note giving the jews scotland would be antisemitic as well as they would have to live next to england. yuk.

    Apparently the jews have to be given things and can't make their way on their own?
