And this is why I prefer to live in Idaho where antisemitism is squashed, disavowed and support for Israel unequivocal.

BDS does nothing but prompt terrorism and destray Arab Palestinan opportunities for employment. So not good for anyone.

Want to do something important for Israel?
The Palestinians' self-proclaimed knife intifada is the latest result of ongoing incitement against innocent Israelis. Israelis are being stabbed, shot and run over. Yet the world is silent. Help Israel to fight and win the war against terror. The time to act is now!
Now more than ever, Israel needs your help to fight the battle of public opinion. Israel's enemies are using social media to incite brutal terror against innocent civilians. The People of Israel need your help to do even more!

Hate does not belong anywhere in the world, especially here in Portland. The BDS movement: boycott, divestment and sanctions is really a movement of bigotry, dishonesty and shame which is devisive and an obstacle to any negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Is not a good thing to boycott a democratic country, specially when all his neighbors and enemies are dictatorial regimes.

I support Israel. This boycott is another attack on a country trying to protect itself from those who hate and want to destroy the Jewish people.

Its sad, that the portland HRC is taking this position.
They dont vote to stop buying shares in businesses that sell to Turkey, which "occupies" Cyrprus.
Not to companies selling to Russia.. Which occupies parts of Ukraine.
Or Russia for Georgia..
Or Ethiopia for Somalia
Or Syria for parts of Lebanon
But yet, the systematically chose to focus on Israel.

BDS... one more letter than we need to describe this kind of action. The Portland Human Rights Commission should be ashamed of this uninformed, anti-Semetic vote. There wasn't even an appearance of an attempt to hear or understand both sides of a very complex issue. With this vote, PHRC members are legitimizing the incitement that is costing Jewish and Palestinian lives in Israel on a daily basis.

BDS is divisive. Economic cooperation (as exists in Israel) is the way.

The so-called "human rights commission's," has no rights within it at all, preposterous and raciest , Israel has the right to protect it's self, your actions are antisemitism! I am strongly opposed to the bds proposal to have the city divest in companies that do business with Israel. It may very well backfire on you
And this is why I prefer to live in Idaho where antisemitism is squashed, disavowed and support for Israel unequivocal.
