Tables Turned — Israel On The Run

20 October 2014

 - With support for the BDS Movement growing globally from organized labour, the potential economic threat to the Zionist regime is staggering.

Last month saw the extraordinary possibility of a change in the power dynamic between Palestine and Israel. It confirmed the fact that a heretofore almost unnoticed, nonviolent campaign called Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has Israel on the run.

Something has changed.

Former Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, speaking this summer at the World Summit on Counter-Terrorism, emphasized that the BDS Movement hopes to destroy Israel. He asserted that BDS supporters hoped to succeed where the Arab armies and terrorist organisations had failed. Oren stated the simple fact that the latest assault on Gaza had changed everything. BDS has gained momentum and can no longer be ignored. He was alarmed that ‘Operation Protective Edge’ had resulted in a further delegitimization of Israel in the eyes of the world.
