- [Julie] It's called BDS.

The Boycott Divestmentand Sanctions Movement.

- BDS are, in fact, all aboutcreating political pressure

on the State of Israel toallow economic, academic,

and cultural boycott orpressure on the State of Israel,

to allow millions ofPalestinians to return

to the State of Israel.

- [Julie] Author Einat Wilf says BDS uses,

what she calls the Placard Strategy.

- Placard Strategy is theequations that everyone who goes

to an anti-Israel demonstrationsees on their placards.

Zionism equals, or Israelequals, or Star of David equals.

It never says Zionism equalsthe political movement

for self-determinationof the Jewish people

in their homeland, whichis the accurate definition.

- [Julie] And Wilf saysit's been very effective,

even though the equations are lies.

- Their words likecolonialism, racism, apartheid,

sometimes even Nazism and genocide,

these words are all chosen because

in our collective consciousness,they connote evil.

Basically, people areexposed to an ongoing refrain

that says Zionism, Israel,Star of David equals evil.

- [Julie] It's not only about slogans

on placards at demonstrations.

- It's in the United Nations.

It's on television.

Give an anti-Israel speaker30 seconds on television,

they'll manage to sayIsrael, Zionism, colonialism,

apartheid, genocide in the same sentence,

regardless of what is the question.

- [Julie] BDS often claimsto be a grassroots movement,

but Tzachi Gavrieli says there's nothing

grassroots about it.

- One could be operating in New York.

One could be in Italy.

It's a network, operatedand being headquartered

from Ramallah by an element ororganization called the BNC,

The BDS National Committee.

- [Julie] Wilf says there'snothing new about the movement.

- The Palestinians are stillcommitted to their old goal

of no sovereign statefor the Jewish people,

in any borders anywhere.

The BDS movement continuesthe same old idea

that the Jewish people are uniquely evil.

That the world will be a better place

if there was no Jewish State in it,

which again is a veryancient anti-Semitic theme.

- [Julie] Both Wilf and Gavrieli said

it's important to keep fighting.

- Continue very vigorously,and with (foreign language),

as the Lord said, be very strong

to tell the truth about Israel.

- First thing is really toexpose BDS for what it is.

That it might be non-violent in its means,

but it is very violent in its ends.

About the fact that it's not about peace

and ultimately they should be confronted

on campuses, in the media,everywhere which they operate,

to expose them fortheir sinister purposes.
