BDS list of what supporters should do proves they aren't "pro-Palestinian activists."

BDS celebrated its 15th anniversary last June with a list of 15 things you can do to "show solidarity with Palestinians."

Here they are:

Expose Israeli Apartheid: 

Targeted Sanctions [against Israel]

Apartheid Free Zones in your community "as spaces free of racism, sexism, discrimination"

Corporate Complicity (pressure on companies with branches in Israel)

Racial and Indigenous Justice: Support Indigenous-led and Black-led struggles for racial justice...

Environmental and climate justice

Women’s struggles: "justice in Palestine is a feminist issue"

Ethical City Councils: "Promote an intersectional motion in your local council..."

Faith Communities & Tourism: "respect the Palestinian call for ethical tourism/pilgrimage."

Cultural Boycott of Israel

Academic Boycott of Israel

Student Activism: Organize intersectional campaigns... 

Sports Boycott: Join the global campaign to boycott Puma...

LGBTQI+ Rights: "Unmask and counter Israel’s agenda of pinkwashing..."

Donate to BDS: BDS needs support from people of conscience everywhere...

Only one problem: Not one of them would actually help a single Palestinian.

Not one mention on sending money to Palestinians - only to BDS.

No request to help pay rent for Arab Sheikh Jarrah residents which would allow them to stay in their homes.

Not one mention of supporting Palestinian businesses - only boycotting Israeli businesses.

Not one mention of lobbying Israel to ease restrictions on Palestinians.

Not one mention of sending letters or tweets of support to ordinary Palestinians. 

Not one mention of working to improve Palestinian democracy or its institutions.

Not even a request for volunteers to help with the olive harvest.

This isn't a list of things to show solidarity with Palestinians. It is a recruiting list for "social justice warriors."

There is nothing positive here at all. Nothing supportive of Palestinians. Only hate for the Jewish state. 

This list shows, better than any hasbara ever could, that people who claim to be "pro-Palestinian" are nothing of the sort. They simply hate Israel with a passion that is only equaled by their Jew-hating cousins on the Right.
