Rima Najjar: Rebecca Vilkomerson of JVP, can we talk? Jewish Voice for Peace says it supports BDS, but for 10 years it had a head whose spouse works for an Israeli company (Check Point Software, which has close ties to the Israeli military). 
Details: bit.ly/39g6R0n
Najjar writes: I was deeply shocked by the news because, despite everything, I trusted Rebecca & JVP to do the right thing. To me, the matter is one of personal integrity…

Rima Najjar: When I say I trusted JVP ‘despite everything’, I am referring to the agonizingly long wait we Palestinians have had to endure before JVP officially rejected Zionism, condemned Israel’s Zionist settler-colonial regime & embraced #BDS…

#TBT Israeli companies offer tourist training camps in which families, even with small children, practice shooting live ammunition at targets resembling Palestinians. Such courses are also being offered in the US. Details: bit.ly/2D0DQKY

Licensed Israeli Jews are allowed to carry firearms—they have even been encouraged to carry. Palestinians on the other hand are not allowed to possess weapons.

There are four reasons to support the #BDS movement
You are a radical Islamist.
You support radical Islamic goals
You are an antisemite
Your are really, really stupid

A thread:
Asking if you support the boycott of Israel is *exactly* like asking if you support the destruction of Israel, only it is deliberately worded differently.

BDS talks about 'occupation' and 'settlements' but ONLY 1 of the 3 BDS aims has anything to do with the West Bank / Gaza.
One of the BDS aims even tries to impose on Israel's own democracy - talking about Israeli citizens, not 'occupied Palestinians'. It's the one they talk about the least because it is the most insidious.

Anyone who thinks BDS is not antisemitic should pay attention to what is happening in @uklabour
It starts with boycotting companies investing in Israel. They attacked Israeli produce in supermarkets
Then they attack Jewish run businesses and intimidate Jewish students on campus.
They moved on to bullying artists, hounding them online and scaring them into cancelling gigs in Israel
Now look - they sanction British MPs like @RosieDuffield1 just for supporting British Jews.
The aim is clear - they seek to alienate and isolate Jews wherever they are.
The deselection operation in Labour is a #BDS action
They want people to pay a price for supporting Jewish people.
You think it isn't BDS? It is EXACTLY BDS. Boycott Divestment SANCTION.
These are the same faces, carrying the same message. It's the same antisemitism

Jewish Voice for Peace - Health Advisory Council #WeeklyHumanRightsHero & Violation Aug 19, 2018
Violation: Israeli gov. use of health & health care as a weapon of war - this serious human rights violation comes in conjunction w/ a statement by JVP HAC: jewishvoiceforpeace.org/jvp-health-adv…
Whether through denying entry of many essential medications and medical equipment/technology used for serious medical conditions including cancer treatment or the denial of exit visasfor critically ill patients to receive care outside of the Gaza Strip...
...Israel is increasingly making it impossible for patients to get the life-saving care they need. Ex: "Suddenly, a Palestinian Breast Cancer Survivor Becomes a 'Security Threat'" by @Hass_Haaretz:

1. Ahad voted against permission for a new @marksandspencer store because he felt that M&S are "Zionists who kill Palestinians" Dipu is quite unpleasant, he also hounded the members of the Holocaust Memorial Day org so badly, the Jewish members walked out chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…
2) Lord Ahmed, blamed a "Jewish Conspiracy" for his imprisonment for a fatal motorway crash. Ahmed resigned from @UKLabour thetimes.co.uk/article/muslim…
3) Cllr Aziz urged Jews to “stop drinking Gaza’s blood,”. He has also compared the actions of Israelis towards the Palestinians to the actions of Nazis towards Jews & said Jews in the Middle East could move to the U.S. He is still an @UKLabour Councillor jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/ilyas-aziz-rea…
