"Many countries, state jurisdictions, cities and universities have banned BDS as a thinly disguised anti-Semitic movement and have made it illegal."

Untrue. Hardly any countries have banned BDS. 21 states in the US have stated opposition to BDS and passed some form of legislature but these do not all necessarily amount to blanket "bans," and states are not countries in any case. A few city legislatures, and I mean a few, have passed laws banning BDS or some of their activities. The reasons for these decisions are very varied, but "thinly-disguised antisemitic movement" is rarely, if ever, expressed as one of them. The EU opposes the calling of sanctions against Israel but there is no ban. Israel has certainly banned BDS and has caused outrage by preventing BDS supporters from entering the country. What price free speech? There are plenty of Israelis who oppose what their regime is doing but they are not permitted to hear similar dissenting voices in their own country. I'll remember that next time somebody tells me what a mighty democracy Israel is. It's against the law in Israel to call for a boycott either of the country or of settlements. As individuals calling for boycotts are not allowed into the country, if Bibi reads my posts, Joe, that proposed holiday of mine will never happen!
