| BDS? Never heard of it. |

| [IsraelTimes] If the Mideast Studies Association adopts the anti-Israel resolution, it will be the only academic group to do so — and then, most likely, it will quietly back down The massive international response to the crisis in Ukraine should have shocked BDS ...the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, an international outreach effort by the PLO to Jew-hating social justice warriors which has waged economic warfare on Israel since 2005. Omar Barghouti is the public face of the thing... activists to the core. Twenty-plus years into its efforts to single-out Israel and sever its cultural, economic, and academic ties with the rest of the world, BDS has nothing to show for its efforts. Not a single company, bank, or university has joined the effort. Those who have attempted even a semblance of a boycott (like Ben & Jerry’s recent refusal to sell ice cream in the West Bank), faced immediate backlash, hurried to distance themselves from BDS, and eventually walked back their boycotts. Most US states now have anti-BDS laws on their books, as does Congress. As I show below, even on the most politically active campus in the U.S., students are unfamiliar with BDS, are skeptical about the effectiveness of sanctions, and vehemently reject academic boycotts. |
