>Stringgie, the QUOTE from the HAMAS charter is from THEIR website.> Hamas is one faction of the Palestinian struggle but doesn't represent the BDS movement in its entirety. If that quote is in fact legitimate on their website, the lie is that BDS represents a violent solution to the problem, a propaganda technique that is propagated by AIPAC and the Zionist controlled Israeli government. >What they oppose, they want to assure us, is Israel's position in the West Bank. Their increasingly loud and self-confident BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) is not, as they tell it, a struggle against the Jews. They simply want to bring Israel into line with enlightened leftist opinion in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.> Actually, the same old fallacy, equating the oppressive actions of Zionism in the West Bank with "leftist" politics, the same old red-baiting, the labeling and the complete denial of any oppressive move that Israel makes, in short, part of the hackneyed propaganda that pervades US and Israeli policies. What the BDS movement wants to do really is have Israeli government hacks see what they are doing to their country, isolating it with a hawkish ideology that will preclude any solution to the mid-east crisis. It's the same old "dreck".
