BDS is against peace

One of the major symbolic victories of the anti-Israel BDS movement was in 2010 when the University of Johannesburg  decided to boycott Ben Gurion University of Israel.

Zvi just found this speech by H.E. Dr. Mohammed Al-Hadid, President of the Jordan National Red Crescent Society and Chairman of the Standing Commission of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. It shows the reality of what BGU stands for, and it also shows that the BDS crowd has no interest in peace.

Which brings up the question of what kind of people support a movement that is against the ideals being advanced here by this prominent and well-respected Arab physician? If BGU incontrovertibly supports a culture of peace and a society where everyone is equal, then those who are against it must also be against peace and equal rights. 

Here is the beginning of Dr. Al-Hadid's speech. The full program can be seen here.
