This is Steven Rose. Who is Steven Rose? He and Hilary Rose are credited with starting the BDS Movement.

Here he is in 2009 equating collaboration with academics in Israel to that of collaboration with academics in Nazi Germany pre 1939.

BDS was not initiated as a "call" from Palestinian Civil Society. It was initiated by a British academic.

Here's the full 2009 BDS conference plus tons of video.

Hello. Media?!

FYI: Here's the tax ID of the American financing partner. They get funding from George Soros' Tides Foundation. But who didn't see that coming?

1/ Enough is enough. Its time to take on the idea of "Fossil fuel subsidies."

Have you ever wondered what that really means? To me it sounds like tax breaks given to the oil and coal industries.
2/ I went and found the IMF paper being quoted by Rep. Omar. And guess what? There are TWO definitions of "subsidies." There are "pre-tax subsidies" and "post-tax subsidies."

You want to guess which one the left is using? Uh huh, the more extreme one.

Watch this...
3/ Pre-tax subsidies are basically: It cost a certain amount to produce the fossil fuel & the consumer pays less than that amount so that transaction is being subsidized.

The paper concludes that these “Producer subsidies are … relatively small.”

Here is official statement from @netanyahu on #Israel banning @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib from entering Israel (and by default #Palestine):
"There is no country in the world that respects the US and the US Congress more than the State of Israel, said Netanyahu in a statement." 1/9
As a vibrant and free democracy, Israel is open to all its critics, with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel. 2/9
Congressmen Talib & Omar are leading activists in promoting the boycott against Israel in the US Congress. 3/9

A thread on Omar Barghouti, his recent @nytimes letter and the #BDS movement. To explain why media outlets should only publish pro-BDS statements with a fake news symbol or a health warning.
Omar Barghouti fronts BDS - the boycott movement against Israel. BDS fills the debate with nice sounding keywords & utopian ideas. This is not new. The bloodiest movements in history were all accompanied by aggressive PR campaigns that tried to make themselves look pretty.
But supporting BDS is like promoting a 'flat earth' ideology. BDS has no example it can call on - none - to support itself. Israel is the only free nation in the region - it should be emulated - not ripped apart. If Israel was an Arab state - they'd hold it aloft with pride.

1) #Israel released a report today called "Terrorists in Suits" about the secret links between the BDS movement and terrorism.

I thought it would be interesting to draw some connections between the report and other things we hear.

2) "The Boycott, Divestiture and Sanctions" movement likes to claim that it is about achieving "justice" for the "oppressed" Palestinian people.

On its face, most people can understand that idea.

3) But BDS is illegal in much of the United States.

"Around half of the US’s 50 states have anti-BDS laws, which in various ways prohibit granting state contracts to companies which boycott Israel."

Meet #Israel's #Hasbara, which means #Propaganda, MSM Censorship Application👇🤨

The app posts daily missions & TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY
#Trolls #Palestine #Gaza #BDS #JeremyCorbyn #JC4PM
6yrs ago #Jerusalem, #IDF Rep:
"we are now located in the SAME building where the Foreign Journalists are,we have close working relationships w/ hundreds of journalists. In addition we launched media project working in many platforms,twitter in Arabic, Russian, French & English."
How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."

Here's why it matters when your Muslim activists, leaders, and organizations work with the ADL.
1) During the struggled to end apartheid in South Africa, the ADL opposed civil and human rights activists.

1. #THREAD coming up:

Earlier today, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs released list of 20 orgs recommended to be denied entry into Israel based on their #BDS activities.

Lot of misinformation, so will endeavour to clarify here ⬇⬇⬇
2. First & foremost, *EVERY* nation has right under int'l and domestic law to determine who enters and does not enter its borders. There is no automatic right of entry to non-citizens.
3. In order to be denied entry into Israel, the person must have undertaken serious, ongoing and consistent actions to promote and advance BDS against Israel.
