The Boycott, Divest, Sanction [Israel] movement is this century’s Nazi movement, only on a worldwide scale. Same tactics, same viciousness, same lies, same thuggery — the Germans employed the same tactics. Preceding Kristallnacht, the Nazis held several days calling for Germans to boycott Jewish-owned businesses. This was the direct antecedent to the BDS movement. This is no different.
Opposition leader Herzog asks EU event to disinvite BDS head

Herzog wrote that giving a stage to Barghouti undermines efforts to advance Middle East peace and help the Palestinian people.
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog asked a European Union parliament member to rescind an invitation to the co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, Omar Barghouti, to speak at an event on ‘The Israeli Settlements in Palestine and the European Union” set for Wednesday at the EU parliament in Brussels.
Barghouti was invited by Ana Maria Gomes, a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament and a former diplomat. Herzog wrote Gomes that giving a stage to Barghouti undermined efforts to advance Middle East peace and help the Palestinian people.
“On the basis of my commitment to a peaceful two state solution, I am deeply concerned by your plans to include BDS activist Omar Barghouti in your event,” Herzog wrote Gomes. “The BDS movement promotes an extreme and entirely one-sided position. This movement not only promotes unjust discrimination against Israel and its citizens, but its supporters unashamedly call for dismantling Israel and replacing it with a single Arab majority state. This is against the policies and values of the EU and its members, and in opposition to the preferences of a majority of Israelis and Palestinians who favor a two state solution.”
Herzog wrote Gomes that BDS is an ineffective tool for promoting Palestinian rights in the West Bank. He explained that boycotts targeting settlement industries in particular hurt those they claim to support, because tens of thousands of Palestinians rely on these industries for their livelihood, enjoying salaries and benefits far greater than average Palestinian incomes.
He added that BDS activities in Europe harm primarily European Jews, who are frequently confronted by attempts to intimidate and ostracize those who wish to engage and identity with Israel. Herzog wrote that BDS activities have become platforms for legitimizing outright expressions of antisemitism.
“For Israelis and Palestinians who want to promote peace, BDS is a hindrance, since it undermines moderates who want to build bridges of understanding and find solutions that address the legitimate national rights of both peoples,” Herzog wrote. “In addition, any association of the EU with BDS undermines its credibility in the eyes of Israelis as a balanced third party.”
European Parliament President Antonio Tajani wrote Gomes an even more strongly worded letter, in which he warned that Barghouti incites hatred and violence and that hosting him puts the European Parliament’s reputation at risk. He included letters written by four EU parliamentary groups opposing the invitation.
Tajani urged Gomes to prevent her event, which was sponsored by the General Union of Palestinian Communities in Europe, from becoming a platform for advancing antisemitism.
Gomes’s Socialists and Democrats group in the EU Parliament also distanced itself from the event, saying that “this event is not organized by the S&D Group and it does not represent the position of our political group with regard to BDS.”
Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Maliki will also be speaking at the event.

Trump can't ban islam

US foreign policies have been a total disgrace. USA has been bombing the middle east for decades, only to lose Europe to islam. Islam rules Europe now and is making advances in USA. WW1 and WW2 were useless, westerners killed each other, so muslims can take over the west easily now.
From afghanistan to michigan, from beirut to bayreuth, Islam is in the west to stay and dominate. it’s the will of mohammad.
You are the “total disgrace”. Losing Europe to Islam is the decision of Europe. Bombing the middle east was a Bush idea. Retaliating for 9/11 was proper.
Your siding with the LEFT wants Islam advanced here. Mohammad is roasting in hell. Soon, you will join him. Islam is EVIL!

Wipe the s h i t off your f a c e, drink your camel u r i n e medication as prescribed by your profit, s h i t be upon him and go and e x p l o d e your s u i c i d e vest, a r s e h o l e and then you can take your reward of your 72 virgins.
You fellating goats is a total disgrace. You fornicating with sheep is a total disgrace. You blowing into a cow’s anus to increase milk production is a joke of an excuse, just a reason for you to get up close and personal to yet another livestock animal’s anus, where you seem to feel right at home. Which is downright comical….you are so obsessed with raping farm animals that you will never dominate the west….the will of mohammmmed is to rape animals and children.

They are also doing their best to get Netanyahu out of office.
I think it is another reason why TRUMP is moving up the date of the embassy move to Jerusalem. Netanyahu is a wonderful leader but the LEFT there are like the LEFT here when it comes to Trump. They are trying to unseat him.

Europe lost to Islam? that will be a surprise to us living here. If your comments are typical of Muslim thinking and intelligence, and judging by Abbas, Erdogan et al. it looks like it is. It do not think we have much to fear.
Islam will eventually collapse like Communism due to its own internal strife and contradictions
I th ink you’d better start waking up…. look around you at every other place.. maybe in your secluded burb it isn’t evident yet, but look at the rest of the world that was christian pagan in 600… they don’t exist anymore. Apathy = complicit consent… don’t be surprised when reality shows you that it’s too late….
Waiting for mooooHAMed is going to be a long wait . . . 1500 years and counting . . .
while the Jews continue to kick A$$ !
How many patents did mooooslums file again ?
I just read something disgusting. I had never heard of “milk babies” before.
They are little ones, male of female used for oral sex. They knock out their teeth for that activity.

There is no reason for palestinians to exist, there will never be a palestinian nation as if one is formed temporarily, intertribal fighting will destroy it in a few hours. All the fools with their boycott are doing is dragging out the misery of the people who would prosper under peace, not islam.
Here are the “Feminists” doing fem stuff, protesting because they can’t get laid. Black people can’t be racists, Anyone who is “white” needs to have permission for their white privilege.Grace to you 🙂
Here are real feminists, that could do with some help from, well their fem-sisters in the west, but unfortunately, they all got their heads up their own elemental orifice, wearing a pussy hat.
If it was not soo sad for the real fems in Iran, I would laugh. I sincerely hope that the Iran problem is solved very soon.

BDS, is boycotting, divestment and sanctions against israel, for the illegal occupation and oppression within Palestine.
The nasty sell the idea of israel’s destruction is why BDs exists but that is because the weak minded believe it.
You are SO much fun to laugh AT! Simply hilarious.

So much S- is happening after BHO left office. It’s happening because he sent all that money to Tehran just before leaving the WH. These efforts are compounding the issues that Soros has been sponsoring for a long time. BHO, TrudHO, MerCOW, F-ing Soros has spent billions to unsettle the west. This jew hating hungarian jew (George Soros is not his real name) needs to spend time in the electric chair along with his co-whores.

Looking at this illustration, and so many others like it, all I can say is – boy, there are an awful lot of stupid bitc*es out there.
Plus, this bunch doesn’t have their “pussy hats.” I guess they didn’t get the “intersection” memo. &exph=478&expw=480&q=pussy+hat+march&simid=608016648015055811&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0
