Clarification On BDS

I know many people are using the BDS issue as a mark against Tulsi Gabbard and, considering the defense I posted of her, I am surprised I have not gotten more blowback myself.. yet.

First off, let me state that I am in favor of BDS, personally. If I find a product which states, “product of Israel” I will not purchase it. I abhor Haim Saban. One thing you should realize is that Haim Saban is a major funding source for TYT. So, if you claim to support BDS yet watch TYT, you’re deluding yourself. Note that he does NOT fund the Jimmy Dore Show.

However, I will not go to the extent of memorizing or carrying a list of companies that sell products in Israel. That’s just petty.

I did read and understand that the creator of the BDS movement is against the existence of the Israeli state. I strenuously object to the wording of HR246, which conflates the Israeli state with the Jewish religion, which is a false equivalency.

No matter how we can try to educate people we will deal with political forces, including the corporate media, intentionally distorting any criticism of the Israeli state into an attack on the Jewish religion. We know this and there is no denying it. We understand that Israel is an abusive, genocidal rogue government and majority populace. We know they will continue to attempt to completely eradicate the Palestinian people and the Muslim population in the Middle East by any means possible.
