BDS and Black Lives Matter are both movements dedicated to intimidation and thuggery. The Leftist proponents of a race war have embraced the global jihad against Israel. The Leftist/jihadist alliance continues to deepen.

“BDS Leader Omar Al-Barghouthi: Black Lives Matter Support Us because Freedom for Palestine Means Freedom for Blacks in the U.S.,” MEMRI, September 18, 2016:
Speaking on Mayadeen TV, Omar Barghouti, the co-founder of the BDS movement, hailed the achievements of the movement, saying that the academic, cultural, and economic boycott of Israel had a great impact. He said that the BDS movement focuses on eliminating Israeli occupation and “apartheid” and on the right of the refugees to return to the homes from which they were expelled. Barghouti said that the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. had “recently incorporated BDS into their platform,” and that “freedom for Palestine means freedom for blacks in the U.S.” According to Barghouti, Hillary Clinton supported the fight against BDS because she was financed by “American-Israeli Zionist” Haim Saban. The interview aired on September 18, 2016.
Following are excerpts
Host: “The [BDS] movement ‘espouses the simple principle that the Palestinians have the same rights as the rest of humanity.’ ‘The rest of humanity’ – isn’t that going a bit too far?”
Omar Al-Barghouthi: “Not at all. We do not have even our most basic rights. The BDS movement was launched because of the ongoing failure to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. Some of these rights were frittered away: The Right of Return is in danger, the right of our people to the 1948 lands is in danger, and even the right of our people to the 1967 lands. Some of these rights are ignored. The BDS movement was created in 2005, in order to focus on the elimination of the occupation, on the elimination of the system of racial segregation – the Israeli apartheid – and on the right of the refugees to return to the homes from which they were expelled.”
[…]
“There are major differences between the West Bank, including Jerusalem, Gaza, and the 1948 lands, because of the different nature of the Israeli regime in each of these regions. In Gaza, which is completely under siege, there is great difficulty in boycotting some merchandise that has no substitute. Israel uses Gaza and the West Bank to dump its low-quality merchandise.”
[…]
“Today, we see large academic associations in the US adopting a total academic boycott of Israeli universities. They completely reject any ties with Israeli universities. [The academic boycott of Israel] is spreading among academics. Thousands of academics in the West, in Australia, in South Africa, and in Brazil have signed petitions rejecting any ties with the Israeli government and universities. In addition, there is what we call a ‘silent boycott,’ when an academic or an artist boycotts [Israel] without declaring it, because they do not want to be exposed to danger from the Zionist lobbies in their countries. Tens of thousands silently boycott [Israel], without declaring it.”
[…]
“We are no longer talking about isolating Israel and its racist regime only in the fields of academics and culture. We are now talking about the beginning of a real economic impact, to such an extent that in 2014, direct foreign investment in the Israeli economy dropped by almost 50%, compared to 2013. This is why Israel is beginning to treat the BDS movement as a ‘strategic threat.'”
[…]
“Whereas Hillary Clinton considers fighting the BDS to be a priority, In the event that she becomes President, on the popular level, even within the Democratic party in the US, we are witnessing a great change among the progressives. Progressive Democrats are an important faction in the Democratic Party, and most of them have begun to support the rights of the Palestinian people more than they support Israel. Support for the boycott [of Israel] is growing tremendously, even among Jewish American youth. For example, according to an opinion poll, conducted by one of the Zionist lobbies in the US in 2014, 46% of the young Jewish Americans under the age of 40, support a total boycott of Israel. Just imagine – we are talking about the young Jewish Americans! So you can imagine the situation among the general population. The BDS movement is gaining ground in a big way in universities, among academics, artists, and trade unions. Some of the largest trade unions in the US have embraced the boycott. Some churches [in the US] have taken punitive steps against the Israeli regime, and against the companies that collude with it. Thus, under pressure from the lobby and from her main sponsor, Haim Saban, an American-Israeli Zionist, the biggest donor of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, who considers fighting the BDS to be a priority… Thus, it has also become a priority for Hillary Clinton, who is financed by him.”
[…]
“In the Arab world, the Palestinian issue is not considered an issue concerning the Palestinians alone. The Moroccans, Tunisians, Algerians, Jordanians, Kuwaitis, and Lebanese view the Palestinian issue and the struggle for Palestinian rights as part of their own struggle for freedom, justice, and rights, and against autocracy. It is part of their struggle. There is an effort to separate the issues, saying: ‘Why should we fight for Palestine? We have serious problems in every Arab country.’ Or, as some people began to say: ‘C’mon, Palestine is all we needed…’ Palestine is not detached from the struggle for freedom in the Arab countries. Take, for example, Black Lives Matter, a movement of African-Americans. They have recently incorporated BDS into their platform. This was a major victory for us. It is not only because of international solidarity with the Palestinian people that the Palestinian issue has become one of the most important issues worldwide, espoused by every progressive man and woman in the world. It is also because of their own principles. Freedom for Palestine means freedom for blacks in the US. Justice for Palestine means justice for blacks. Why? We are boycotting the G4S company, which is also involved in running private prisons in the US, which violate the rights of blacks and Latinos. Thus, there is a common struggle against these companies and this system. The ties between the American and Israeli governments harm the Americans, just as they harm the Palestinians and Arabs.”

black lives do not matter to muslims, blacks are slaves and treated as such by islamic nations even today. Read the qur’an, observe islamic countries.

No equality for blacks in racist Saudi Arabia. This is orthodox Islam.
The Arabic “abed” means both “black man” and “slave”.

There is NO Palestine. The term “Palestine’ is used by Hamas and the insane democrats to sway the simple-minded.
The muslim trash that inhabit the West Bank are rejects from all over the Middle East. Surely, you must remember how the Clinton Administration sucked up to the PLO and Yasir Arafat. The PLO was an organisation that was created to eliminate Israel. Many of you are too young to understand just exactly who and what the “Palestinians” are.
I am sure most of you do not remember the bombings in the U.S. back in the 1970’s by muslims. I flew into La Guardia airport, just after the bombing there by jihadists.
Muslims have been murdering ANYONE they disagree with since Muhammad was raping little girls over a thousand years ago.

Inspired by sadist, racist slaver tyrant, child-rapist & pederast, theist psychopath Muhammad’s race-mythologies & example there is slavery of Africans in Saudi Arabia, Mauritania(25%,50%?of population), new north Sudan, Kuwait, Yemen, Oman, Algeria , Lebanon, Pakistan, UAE, Niger, Libya, Nigeria, Chad, Mali, Somalia & elsewhere. Israel can help to stop that & help in cultivating human rights, ecology, clean water, sanitation, basics, essentialization & automation in Africa & the whole world.

& Islamic State wants to revive slavery of Africans in America (according to a statement, Islamic-state-ment).
Don’t get betrayed by Muhammadists.
Deception is 2 of Muhammad’s war-tactics.

Briebart has a good article on the very subject. This is islams desire for itself, the rest of the work is to die to accommodate the violet criminal insanity of islam and its democrat dhimmi.
If Muslims rather than Christians had been running things in countries like the U.S., the Islamic State argues in the most recent issue of its propaganda magazine Dabiq, “the lucrative African slave trade would have continued, supporting a strong economy.”
As usual, the Islamic State supports its position with theological arguments, suggesting that Allah is pleased with slavery, as long as the slaves are infidels.
“The Islamic leadership would not have bypassed Allah’s permission to sell captured pagan humans, to teach them, and to convert them, as they worked hard for their masters in building a beautiful country,” the article reads.
Trading in black African slaves, the magazine notes, would not be done for racial reasons but religious ones.
“All of this would be done, not for racism, nationalism, or political lies, but to make the word of Allah supreme. Jihad is the ultimate show of one’s love for his Creator, facing the clashing of swords and buzzing of bullets on the battlefield, seeking to slaughter His enemies – whom he hates for Allah’s hatred of them.”
The article also notes that African slaves who “converted, practiced their religion well, and were freed would be treated no differently than any other free Muslim,” unlike what happened in the United States where slaves’ descendants “still live in a nation divided over those days,” the authors state.
The Islamists blame emancipation and the end to black slavery on a corrupt Christianity that has gone soft and no longer lives according to the most brutal dictates of the Old Testament.
“The clear difference between Muslims and the corrupt and deviant Jews and Christians is that Muslims are not ashamed of abiding by the rules sent down from their Lord regarding war and enforcement of divine law,” the authors claim.
“And since those mujahidin would have done so bound by the Law, they would have been thorough and without some ‘politically correct’ need to apologize years later.”
Along with African slavery, the Islamic State authors also state that “if it were the Muslims,” instead of Christians, who had “fought the Japanese and Vietnamese or invaded the lands of the Native Americans, there would have been no regrets in killing and enslaving those therein.”
“The Japanese, for example, would have been forcefully converted to Islam from their pagan ways – and if they stubbornly declined, perhaps another nuke would change their mind. The Vietnamese would likewise be offered Islam or beds of napalm.”
As for the Native Americans, the article continues, after the slaughter of their men, “then the Muslims would have taken their surviving women and children as slaves, raising the children as model Muslims and impregnating their women to produce a new generation of mujahidin.”
Finally, the Islamic State authors turn to the Jews, saving some of their most bitter vitriol for their sworn enemies..
“As for the treacherous Jews of Europe and elsewhere – those who would betray their covenant – then their post-pubescent males would face a slaughter that would make the Holocaust sound like a bedtime story, as their women would be made to serve their husbands’ and fathers’ killers.”

Sadist, racist slaver tyrant, child-rapist & pederast, mass-murderer, theist psychopath Muhammad’s invention was the claim that his deity had turned Africans black so their descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (& other racist mythologies), he held Africans in slavery.

Bds is a concern to Israel. However, given that every arab state is failed or about to fail or should fail it is going to take more than Bds for Israel to hand itself over to the tender mercies of the arabs.

The BDS goal is not just to boycott Israel but rather to implement so called “right of return”. It means return of 5-6 million Arabs back to Israel. It is not going to happen because that means end of Israel as Jewish state.
There is no rule in the world such as “right of return”. 20 million refugees moved in Europe from one place to another after WW2. Their entire claims to return were rejected by European courts.
The Arab refugees should be settled down in the countries they stay, like all other refugees in the world. UNHCR deals with those refugees.

blacks in America already are free to move around, get educated, collect welfare, get jobs, do anything they really want to, including murder each other far more than any other race murders them. What can liberating the palestinians give American blacks? palestinians are takers, not givers, destroyers, not builders, liars at best.

“…freedom for blacks in the U.S.”
“Freedom” to murder, “freedom” to engage in riots and destruction, ‘freedom” to receive jizya payments (aka. welfare checks plus other “free” stuff)…
Similarly, all those jihadi friends of theirs in so called “palestine.” No wonder that they are such good allies and “brothers” now. Suits the nihilists well.
