Dale Hurd Exposes BSemite for What they Really are - Anti-Semites

In a bold commentary on CBN News, titled "Israel's Boycott Resembles Nazi's 'Judenfrei'", the veteran news reporter Dale Hurd expresses dashing criticism against the BS movement, claiming thst they are no more than a smokescreen for good old Anti-Semitism. this is a must-read, and you will surely enjoy (or be appalled by) it. Here's some highlights from the report:

The Nazis sought to rid Germany of any trace of the Jews. They called it "Judenfrei" or "Jew-free." 

Some warn this same anti-Semitic spirit has returned today in a new form. It's a drive to erase any sign of Israel. 

Across Europe, more and more campuses, cities and regions are trying to become "Israel-free zones," free of the taint of what Israel critics would call an "apartheid state."
The anti-Israel boycott movement says it's not anti-Semitic, but they don't boycott any other nations. 

Israel is a democracy. There are plenty of cruel dictatorships around the world they could boycott, but they don't. 

"No other country. Just Israel. You won't see this against any other country in the world that they don't agree with," Richard Millet, who tracks the BDS movement through his website, said. 

"They won't be calling for a boycott of America, which they don't agree with, or the British government, which they don't agree with, before we get into China, Russia, Syria, or Saudi Arabia," he continued. "You name it. All the other countries, there is no boycott. So you answer why?"

UC Davis 'Boycott' Fiasco Continues

It is quite amusing to see BSemites so ridiculously open-hearted about their true intentions. For example, read this Front Page Magazine report on how an alleged boycott proponent actually propagates support for Hamas terrorist organization seeking to implement Sharia law and executing Jewish genocide. This is BS, have we mentioned?

Cute BSemites in action

In a morally coherent world, the chilling statement “Hamas & Sharia law have taken over UC Davis” would not have been spoken publicly, and certainly not by an elected student leader at an American public university. 

But in California, the veritable epicenter of academic anti-Israelism and its attendant stealth jihad, this statement, spoken last week by student leader Azka Fayyaz during a divestment resolution debate at the University of California, Davis, is par for the course, and indicative of how debased the conversation about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has actually become. 

Thus, while members of the UC Davis chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine and others who supported this noxious vote purport to care solely about the malevolence of Israel and punishing the Jewish state for its political misbehavior and human rights abuses, at least some part of that campaign is clearly to embrace terrorism, as well as the rigid, oppressive precepts of a seventh-century theology comprising the tenets of Islam. 

The fact that so many activists feel comfortable with openly supporting a terrorist group with the single purpose of murdering Jews, that they publicly wish for and proclaim, as Ms. Fayyaz just did, that “Israel shall fallinsha’Allah,” indicates quite dramatically how acceptable genocidal Jew-hatred has become, both in the streets and on campuses in America and Europe. This is clearly not, as it is frequently and disinegenuously asserted, merely “criticism” of the Israeli government’s policies; this is what many define as a new permutation of anti-Semitism—an irrational, seething animus against the Jew of nations, Israel, the wish for Jews to be murdered as part of “resistance,” and for Israel itself to be destroyed, all muddled in a disingenuous brew of human rights rhetoric and Western self-hatred.

Canada and Israel Fight BS Together

Bad news, BSemites, the world is not as stupid as you would believe. Canada, for example, has just signed a joint memorandum with Israel, its intent being correspondence in fighting BS boycott attempts. The joint memo specifically equates BS with anti-semitism. Read this report from the Alternative Information Center:

Canada and Israel have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly fight the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. The memorandum equates BDS with anti Semitism and claims to reflect joint dedication to “freedom of expression and assembly, democracy and the rule of law”. 

The memorandum, signed on 18 January, commits Canada and Israel to develop “a coordinated, public diplomacy initiative both bilaterally and in international and multilateral fora to oppose boycotts of Israel, its institutions, and its people within three to six months”. 

Canada also becomes a promoter for Israel, as the two countries will engage “in annual consultations to identity opportunities to advocate in favour of the State of Israel's full participation in the global economy”.

Israeli - Egyptian Energy Ties Strengthen

Israel's alleged 'isolation' is once more refuted, as the leading commercial body in Egypt, the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), has hailed the latest decision to begin import of natural gas from Israeli sources. See this commentary from Algemeiner:

Egypt’s leading business organization has praised Cairo’s plans to import natural gas from Israel, saying that doing so will “yield many benefits.”

In another sign of the burgeoning security and commercial ties between the two countries since Abdel Fattah el Sisi became president of Egypt in 2014, the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI) said that that the deal with Israel would reduce import costs by relying on pipelines already installed by East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), the company that had supervised Egyptian gas exports to Israel before they were halted following the 2011 uprising that led to a Muslim Brotherhood government.

The government’s decision to take “serious steps in considering natural gas imports from foreign companies that won exploration rights in Israeli fields will yield many benefits,” said Tamer Abu Bakr, head of the FEI’s energy committee.

Swastikas Sprayed at Jewish Center following BS Resolution

Those cute BSemites just can't seem to stop expressing their passion to the lovely Germans of the 1940's. After a resolution was passed by the student association in the University of California, Davis, in favor of divestment from corporations operating in Judea and Samaria (which was immediately opposed by U.C. Davis Chancellor), two swastikas were sprayed at a Jewish frat house. Read this report from JTA:

Two swastikas were spray-painted on a Jewish fraternity’s house at the University of California, Davis, two days after the student senate passed a divestment resolution targeting Israel. 

The swastikas were painted on the off-campus house of Alpha Epsilon Pi sometime early Saturday morning. 

“I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that this happened right after divestment,” AEPi vice president Nathaniel Bernhard told the California Aggie student newspaper.

In separate statements, U.C. Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi said the university opposed divestment and condemned the anti-Semitic graffiti.

Israel's Tech Companies Broke All Records in 2014

In 2013, Israeli tech companies raised $2.3 billion and another $1.2 billion in exits and mergers. 

But in 2014, these companies did even better.  Israeli high-tech companies raised a record $3.4 billion in 2014 from venture capital and other private investors, a 46% rise in investments.  

The data on exits is even more startling:  $15 billion in exits in 2014 alone.  For example, cloud storage giant Dropbox acquired Israel-based startup CloudOn and Amazon is now negotiating to purchase Israeli chip-maker Annapurna Labs.

Reuters reports: 

Investors raised $6.94 billion from selling stakes in Israeli technology companies in 2014, a five percent increase compared to last year, boosted mainly by an increase in stock market listings.  It was the third-highest figure after 2006 and 2012, years marked by major acquisitions of Israeli companies...

BSemites Disrupt NYC City Council Meeting on Holocaust

Once more, those cute BSemites express their affection to the jolly and joyous 1940's. This time, some dozen BS activists decided to disrupt a New York City City Council meeting on commemoration of the Holocaust. See  this report from the Gothamist:

Councilman David Greenfield

A City Council meeting to vote on commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps was interrupted this morning by pro-Palestinian activists—who were angry with Council members over a separate matter. And because this is Israel/Palestine, things of course descended into complete chaos, rhetoric and vitriol. You can hearing some of the protest below, during which activists shout "Palestinian lives matter!"

"Shame on them for hating Jews," said Councilman David Greenfield, according to JP Updates. "But I’m pleased, because we can stop pretending that this is about Israel. What we saw here was blatant antisemitism, good old fashioned antisemitism...They were angry, you know why? Because Hitler did not finish the job."

Robbie Williams Mocks BSemites

In yet another failed letter writing campaign, BSemites have tried to threaten British pop star Robbie Williams, who will be performing in Israel in May.  Several days after receiving the threat, Williams thumbed his nose at the Barghouti group in a video statement:

Tel Aviv, Israel! Me, Robbie Williams, coming to see you. It's like a first date... I've got butterflies in my stomach. I can’t wait. I hope you feel the same way too. 

Tel Aviv, are you ready? Please come to see the show. There'll be singing, there'll be dancing. There will be love, mainly me beaming it to you from my heart into your heads and minds.

Robbie William's performance follows recent performances by Lady Gaga, Tony Bennet, Mark Gardener and others.  As BSemites put it nicely, "the presence of internationally acclaimed artists from the West is meant to affirm Israel’s membership in the West’s privileged club of cultured, liberal democracies." Indeed it does!

New Airline Routes to Israel

In response to growing demand from tourists, more airlines are adding new routes to connect Israel with world capitals.  Easyjet is opening flights from Amsterdam to Tel-Aviv and from Paris to Tel-Aviv.  The airline is also considering flights to the new Israeli airport in Timna, once it is complete.  Meanwhile, China's Hainin Airlines is launching three weekly flights from Beijing to Tel-Aviv, to supplement El-Al flight already covering that route.

Ynet quotes a manager at Easyjet:

Slaven explained last week that the ticket sale was "crazy" and that all the cheap tickets to Paris were sold within a very short period of time. "There is a high demand for this route, and that's the reason why we fought to open it," he said...

The new route will become easyJet’s ninth destination from Tel Aviv and will enable it to fly more than half a million passengers a year into and out of Israel on 37 weekly departures, the company said in a statement.

Multiple Official Delegations Visit Israel

In contrary to some BS propaganda you may have witnessed recently, Israel's foreign relations are as intensive and well as ever. This week Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, is visiting Israel accompanied by a delegation of over 100 Japanese officials. This is in addition to delegations sent from Canada and the United States. See this report from Israel Hayom:

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird and a delegation of U.S. lawmakers, led by Senator John McCain will all visit Israel this week and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Netanyahu will call on his visitors to take steps to thwart the unilateral diplomatic initiatives currently being promoted by the Palestinian Authority. Japan is a member of the U.N. Security Council and Canada is one of the funders of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Netanyahu will speak with the bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation about halting U.S. funding for the Palestinian Authority due to its unilateral moves against Israel.
