“Omar Barghouti, co-founder of BDS: .“No rational Palestinian … would ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.” So that’s where that comes from, this movement, someone who doesn’t even want a Jewish state at all. Somehow this side never gets presented in the American media.“
So Rashida wants to silence others’ freedom of speech, yet demands it for herself, in order to spread a false, totally concocted history of “Palestine” and “Palestinians.” How does this prove you support freedom of speech, when you would deny it to everyone you disagree with?
Israeli Jews are not mostly white (European). Approximately half the Jewish population are refugees from or the descendants of refugees from Arab countries. Israel also has rescued sizable Jewish communities from Ethiopia, India, and elsewhere in the third world.
So Maher unknowingly was buying into propaganda about Israel being “white.” He also mispronounced the name of the bloody Intifada (not Infidata) that killed 1000 Israeli civilians and led to construction of the security barrier (a wall in built-up areas to prevent sniper fire)
But despite being too kind, Maher nailed it.
BDS is a bullshit purity test. It’s been that way on campuses for over a decade and now it has invaded the Dem Party. And despite deliberate ambiguity, BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti and other leaders are clear that their goal is the elimination of any Jewish state in any borders.
BDS leaders consider all of Israel occupied, not just the territories recaptured from Jordan in 1967 after Jordan attacked Israel.
That’s right, most people don’t know that Israel asked Jordan not to join the war effort by Egypt and Syria, but Jordan attacked anyway, and lost control of territories (including Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem) it illegally seized in 1948.
Jordan cleansed those territories of Jews, and destroyed Jewish synagogues and cemeteries. Before Israel recaptured those territories in 1967, there was no Palestinian movement for independence from Jordan.
The reaction from BDS supporters was predictable, accusations of bigotry, racism, Islamophobia, and so on. This is what truth-tellers about BDS face.
You may try, but you will not succeed in rewriting history or facts, @RashidaTlaib, no matter how many boycotts you propose and participate in.
The truth is the truth, and you are ignorant, devious and deceitful. Your recent, very poorly played charade on your failed, planned photo ops and sound bytes supporting BDS on a visit to Israel, you’ve made who you are crystal clear.
And all the anti-Semites cried
