In reply to the discussion: Strong signs of anti-semitism in the BDS movement [View all]shira
(30,109 posts)82. BDS is definitely Jew hating, pro-Hamas, & against Israel's existence.
It's all over this thread in one article after the next.
Two of the biggest leading lights within the BDS movement are Mondoweiss and Electronic Intifada. Omar Barghouti of BDS is really tight with both Phil Weiss and Ali Abunimah.
Now take a look at this thread and you'll find both Mondoweiss and Abunimah are pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas.
*This is when you look and see for yourself*
Now that you've seen it, do u want to take back that bit about BDS not being a Jew hating, pro-Hamas movement?

If they condemn the attack, what difference does it make whether they use the word "antisemitism"?
