En S – three letters that polarize: BDS. This means: boycott, sanctions, disinfects. Antizrail traffic on Wednesday marks 20 years. Thanks to leaflets in pedestrian areas, stickers in Unitoilettes, hashtags on social networks and a number of open letters, BDS gave the theme of Israel/Palestine high on the agenda of the left part of the global and attracting great attention to Palestinian business in two decades.
Your campaign acquires an increasingly absurd function. And it acts as a radical drug at the level of entry into a generation of propagular activists.
The glorification of Islamic terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, Hisbollah and Palestinian Islamic jihad as a fighter against colonial resistance, which was in a boom in some left circles from October 7, cannot be explained without BDS preparatory work. The campaign paved the way for the authoritarian worldview, in which the Jewish state becomes the embodiment of evil, the last enemy, which had to fight.
The actual goals of the campaign, which is the “All Arabic land” crew, as stated at the basis of July 9, 2005, which many BDS activists also understand the main country of Israel, and the unlimited right to return all the movements of 1948 and fled the Palestinians and their descendants, cost about 6 million people who want world gifts. They are unrealistic maximum requirements that bring peace in the region, make advance.
The Israeli Palestinian conflict is controversial, especially in left -wing circles. There are also fundamentally different positions in TAZ. In this focus you will find all the comments and debate on the subject of the “Middle East”.

BDS makes a boycott delicious progressive
The efforts of the boycott against the Jews in the region were already before the BDS and to the founding of Israel in 1948. In 1922, the Arab Congress called Jewish goods Boycott in the plug and called for the ban on the sale of land to Jews in the prevention of a Jewish state. In 1931, the mufti of Jerusalem, and then a member of the SS Amin al-Husseini, called for the economic boycott of the Jewish population of Palestine at the general Islamic Congress.
And at the first meeting of the League of the Arab Leg, founded at the time after the Second World War in 1945, it was decided that the Palestinian Jews in the Arab states were “undesirable” before they were not only boycotting Israel for decades, but also companies that were engaged in directly or indirect business with the Jewish state.
BDS is based on this. The campaign is the movement of the root of the grass root of the Palestinian civil society, even if the first subscribing to the Council of National and Islamic Forces in Palestine, including terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, PFLP (Palestinians) and Palestinian Islamic jihad. Boycot United. This is a natural practice for Islamists. Nezi also reject the “Citoat”, which they hated.
BDS dresses the traditional boycott of the Jewish state in a new look and, thus, makes it tasty for a progressive activist.
They do not hide what the leading heads of the BDS actually strive for. The co -founder Omar Barguti says: “For example:“ We reject the Jewish state in some part of Palestine. ” Many do this crystal clear in statements: Israel has no right to exist for them.
Economic boycott will be in harmony with IGH
This goes far beyond the economic boycott of Israeli goods in occupied areas. This will be, at least, in accordance with an unrelated report by the International Court, presented in 2024, which states that the member states should take steps to prevent trade or investments that supported illegal occupation.
In 2019, the German Bundestag determined the so -called BDS resolution with a clear majority, the joint use of CDU/CSU, SPD, FDP and green, which evaluates the movement and its tactics as anti -Semitic. In the report on constitutional protection in 2023, BDS first showed that the authorities classify the movement as an “extremist suspicion”. This is true. Because BDS is not a world, but about the cessation of Israel.
With intoxication of Israeli, BDS is especially noticeable after 20 years with a stubborn uncompromising. The campaign boycotted together, the left movement in Israel, in which the Arabs and Israelis work together for the world, about which the BDS called “apartheid propaganda” because it “normalizes” Israel.
BDS activists are increasingly calling for the boycott of not open brands, musicians, scientists or institutions that are not “online” in the conflict of the Middle East from Starbucks to Berlin Volksbühne. They keep lists of their political opponents and justify the boycott with fragile arguments.
After 20 years, this is the main earnings of BDS: the culture of cancellation, which has radicalized parts of the left, is antimastically. There is no reason to celebrate even on his birthday.
