The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Movement - 1058 Words

â€Å"The Nazis should have finished their job!† booms out from a speaker at a podium in the middle of a large US college campus. Other anti-Semitic insults are thrown about in the crowd listening. Cutting through the crowd, you see signs and banners on the platform where the speaker was. This was a planned event by the university. Pamphlets showing pictures of dying Arabs are passed out, screaming the message â€Å"This is the Israelis doing!† You aren’t sure what to think. One phrase you can understand on many of the signs is ‘The BDS Movement’. The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Movement is an anti-Semitic group that has been misrepresenting Israel and the Jewish religion to religious groups, colleges, and the media for a long time. They receive their information from the Arab governments who are highly anti-Semitic and have extreme prejudice of the people of Israel. Abusing their own people, the Arab governments make it seem that it is always Isr ael who preys on innocent people when in fact it is the opposite. The BDS movement specifically promotes discrimination and violence towards the Jewish community through the use of anti-Semitic media, influencing US college campuses and church groups. BDS uses anti-Semitic media to assist in its spread of discrimination across the country. Anti-Semitic cartoons and pictures are available anywhere if you look online, so BDS takes advantage of this media to spread the word and make their anti-Semitic stand-point known.
