Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel (BDS) organizations’ accounts frozen for TERROR ties

The boycott, divest and sanction the Jewish state is an extension of the Nazi Jewish boycott polices of prewar Germany. Kristallnacht was the template. Of course these groups are tied to terror. They are both all of a piece — genocidal in motive and ideology.

• Crowdfunding platform bans BDS organizations
• Anti-Israel BDS Donation Site in US Blocked Due to Terror Links

This is the organization that Senators Sanders and Feinstein want to protect: An organization that has ties to Islamic terror groups. The BDS movement is one of the most racist, violent, dangerous, and subversive organizations on the planet.

The Nazis called for genocide against the Jewish people. The BDS movement call for genocide against the Jewish state. Like the Nazis, the supporters of the BDS movement resort to isolation, intimidation, and violence, to fulfill their objectives.

Shame on Senator Sanders and Senator Weinstein (who are Jewish) for trying to stop anti-BDS legislation.

“BDS International donation accounts frozen for suspected ties to terrorism,” by Sara Rubenstein, Jerusalem Post, December 21, 2018:

The Ramallah-based BDS International Committee had its online donation account frozen on suspicion of ties to terrorism by its fundraising site Donorbox, according to a Ministry of Strategic Affairs report on Friday.

The American website, DonorBox, a popular fundraising platform for non-profits, which serves as the umbrella organization of the Palestinian Boycott Coalition, announced that it is freezing the accounts of the BDS National Committee (BNC), which operates from Ramallah and is headed by an Israeli resident, Omar Barghouti.

DonorBox reached its decision after receiving a complaint from Shurat HaDin – the Israel Law Center with information provided by the Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs that the organization is affiliated with declared terrorist organizations and it misleads donors by falsely claiming that it is a US-based charitable organization.

“This is a significant achievement in the struggle against the Palestinian boycott organizations that in reality, are driving all the BDS organizations of the world,” said Minister of Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan. “We are leading, together with civil society partners, intensive activity to counter the funding of the BDS campaign, by revealing its destructive goals, its antisemitic nature and its connections to terror. Our efforts are bearing fruit. We will continue to work to reveal the true nature of BDS, counter its funding, and curtail its impact.”

The president of Shurat HaDin, Adv. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said on Friday, “We have no intention to allow terrorist organizations and their accomplices to raise money online without interference. Fundraising is oxygen to terrorists, we will use every legal way possible to choke off every platform they use to raise funds. We hope that our successful action against Donorbox will send a clear warning to all online fundraising platforms on the Internet and will ensure that these funds are not used to finance terrorism. ”

BNC, the Ramallah-based leadership of the global BDS movement, consists of 27 Israel-boycott groups. Its first member organization is the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces (PNIF), which includes five internationally-recognized terrorist organizations including Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Islamic Jihad. The organization leads global boycott and divestment activities from its Ramallah headquarters, and is responsible for numerous BDS campaigns, including against artists and Israel’s banking sector.
