This is what most people don’t understand:
BDS is not a threat to Israel. BDS IS A THREAT TO DIASPORA JEWS.
Everywhere BDS gains legitimacy, isolation of Jews and delegitimization of Jewish institutions follows.

Toronto Student Union votes to support BDS. Later it votes to OPPOSE kosher food on campus. Why? Because the group lobbying for kosher food - Hillel - is ‘pro-Israel.”

Where BDS gains, Jews lose. Our activists are ostracized, like this progressive Jewish college student, writing in the NYT. Ostracized simply because he supports Israel’s existence. This is happening nationwide, on campus and off. nytimes.com/2019/11/14/opi…
Since the BDS movement began, Israel’s economy has grown every year. Israel’s international diplomatic relations have never been stronger, with more nations. Israeli tourism sets new records every year. BDS is not a threat to Israel.
Opposing BDS is not about politics or free speech. Objective experience shows the main effect of BDS is to isolate and delegitimize Jews everywhere. This is why BDS is antisemitic and must be opposed by all people of good conscience.
