The meaning of BDS:
Some people take issue with characterizing BDS as a fascist movement. Fascists, when they
appear in democratic societies, prefer to use non-violence means, such
as poisoning and perverting the contents and methods of public
discourse, such as intimidating academics and academic institutions to
impose an embargo on Israeli scholarship, Israeli academics, authors,
artists, film makers, intellectuals, singers, actors, plays. Because
Truth, its accurate presentation,
dialogue, free debate, are not their suit, but rather, they seek to
abuse facts and pervert actual realities in order to create a false
perception, to deceive those who listen to them into empowering the
movement and to create a hostile environment for those who remain loyal
the existence of the state of Israel.
Always fascism will involve antisemitism.
"Because anti-Semitism is the godfather of racism and the gateway to
tyranny and fascism and war" said Christopher Hitchens... "it is ..the
common enemy of humanity and of civilization, and has to be fought
against very tenaciously for that reason, most especially in its
current, most virulent form of Islamic Jihad... Many pogroms against
Jewish people are being reported from all over Europe today as I'm
talking, and we can only expect this to get worse, and we must make sure
our own defenses are not neglected. Our task is to call this filthy
thing, this plague, this—this pest, by its right name; to make unceasing
resistance to it... "
The Contentious Centrist
"Civilization is not self-supporting. It is artificial. If you are not prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization -- you are done." (Ortega y Gasset)
