Really good news: this is @YousefMunayyer @USCPR_ -- and I really hope this court case will expose them for what they are.
They've long whitewashed &supported terrorism.
Just look at this example from today: Munayyer's outfit (in cooperation with the terrorist sympathizers from @MiddleEastEye) try their best to get people to ignore that most of those killed were Islamic Jihad terrorists busy launching rockets targeting Israeli civilians
These are the terrorists Munayyer and his group want you to mourn

I didn't know that: "In 2015, Shakir [@OmarSShakir] signed a petition calling for a ban on Muslims who dared accept the invitation of the Hartman Institute (on Jerusalem-based center for pluralistic Jewish thought and education) for an educational tour of Israel." Good fit @hrw!
@OmarSShakir @hrw So it was @canarymission that originally documented this telling aspect of @OmarSShakir bigotry

@OmarSShakir @hrw @canarymission Here's the vile letter @OmarSShakir signed - along with orgs &individuals notorious for bigoted anti-Israel activism, incl. of course Linda Sarsour &her good friend Omar Suleiman

Upon hearing the welcome news that @Twitter suspended accounts of terrorist groups and their cheerleaders in the media, I thought I should check how Ali Abunimah's day is going. Well, as expected... +
Abunimah &Co are furiously denouncing "a massive censorship campaign against media and parties that challenge Israel."
Yes, that's how Abunimah describes Islamist terror groups like Hamas &Hezbollah: "parties that challenge Israel."
And let's enjoy the fury of Abunimah &Co over the banning of their favorite terror groups &terror-inciting media a bit more 😊

But wait, there's more... state.gov/secretary-pomp…
You're about to hear a lot of garbage from media about the @StateDept decision on #Israel today. Reality: Team Obama's shameful, last gasp, UNSC Resolution (2334) upended decades of US policy and was designed to kick Israel in the teeth. This reverses that huffpost.com/entry/obama-de…

Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (#BDS) has zero economic impact on Israel. Israel's doing just fine. What it does, is target Jews on campus and Jewish businesses with harassment, vandalism, and worse. The only thing BDS does is give "legitimate" cover to anti-Jewish campaigns.
But let me ask this: if #BDS advocates can refrain from anti-Semitic attacks, tell me what the end game of BDS is? What would have to happen for a boycott to end? A withdrawal to pre-'67 borders? An end to Israel? Only #BDS advocates contribute to this thread please. I'm curious.
When I was in college in the '80s, I participated in anti-apartheid rallies. Because, you know, there really was apartheid in S. Africa. The end game to sanctions was an end to apartheid. It worked. Seeing as there is no actual apartheid in Israel, what is the #BDS end game?

@julie4nw @Rob_Bulll @NickyAACampbell @TrumpkinOut @TheMJAP @TheTrashiesUK @hopenothate @uaf @AntiRacismDay I support campaigning against anti-Semites like Nick Griffin. However, @julie4nw you appear to incite discrimination,hatred against Jews,Israelis & the Jewish State of #Israel by advocating & campaigning for antisemitic #BDS,like the NAZI boycott against Jewish businesses.

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."
