The 10 main BDS categories

BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) is a global campaign that seeks to isolate Israel in the economic, academic, cultural, and political spheres. While it presents itself as a human rights movement, critics argue that BDS promotes division, ignores Israeli security concerns, and often veers into antisemitism. Here are the 10 main BDS categories and offers pro-Israel responses. 1. Economic Boycott BDS Tactic: Pressures companies to cut ties with Israel or cease operations in the West Bank. Pro-Israel Response: These boycotts harm both Israelis and Palestinians economically and undermine coexistence. Many targeted businesses employ both populations and help build shared prosperity. 2. Cultural Boycott BDS Tactic: Urges artists and performers to avoid Israel or cancel scheduled events. Pro-Israel Response: Culture should build bridges, not burn them. Cultural boycotts suppress creativity and exchange and punish Israeli citizens for their government's policies. 3. Student Solidarity B...

From Gaza to Tel Aviv: The Unbelievable True Story of a Muslim Palestinian Who Escaped to Israel and Became a Jew

Tel Aviv, Israel – Dor Shachar's harrowing and inspiring journey, chronicled in his upcoming book, From Gaza to Tel Aviv: The Unbelievable True Story of a Muslim Palestinian Who Escaped to Israel and Became a Jew (June 16, 2025), offers an intimate look into a life forged in the crucible of Gaza and ultimately transformed in Israel. Born Ayman Abu Suboh, Shachar's story is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of oppression, violence, and profound personal sacrifice. A Childhood Marked by Poverty and Hatred Shachar was born in 1977 in Khan Yunis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, an area characterized by poverty, political repression, and relentless violence. He grew up as the third of seven children in a Muslim family. From a young age, his paternal grandfather instilled in him antisemitic slogans, planting worldviews that would eventually begin to crumble within him. Life conditions were harsh. The family lived in a small apartment without ele...

A Five-Stage Plan to Counter the Global Caliphate / Rania Dean

Know your opponent. Understand their goals, strategies, and methods. Create widespread awareness about the global caliphate and its impact. Dismantle the systems that feed the monster. Defund and reform international organizations that enable it — including the UN where necessary. End support for movements like BDS that weaken stability. Be proactive. Don’t wait to react. Anticipate threats, build alliances, and act decisively. Unite the indigenous peoples of the Middle East. Strengthen shared roots, culture, and mutual respect to build a more resilient region. Rebuild and unite Israel. Recognize the existential stakes, focus on what truly matters, and don’t be distracted by minor issues.

From Persia and Judea to India: A Sanctuary of Centuries

Now, two countries are at war—Israel and Iran. These two countries are a test of India's tolerance. Iran was originally a Persian country, meaning the land of the Persians. The religion of Islam entered there in the late eighth century. From then on, directly or indirectly, everyone was forced to accept Islam. But those who were staunchly Persian chose to leave Iran rather than abandon their religion, and they came to India at the beginning of the ninth century. They have lived in India for 1,200 years now. Yet, there is not a single instance where a Hindu has harassed them in the name of religion. Such a remarkable example of religious tolerance cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. You will be surprised to know that Parsis are among the strictest followers of religion in the world. For example, their places of worship are called "priority" and entry is not allowed to non-Parsis. Not only that, no religious building of another faith is permitted near these places. A...

AN APOLOGY ISRAEL NEVER GOT!

Actually I do not know where I should start. Anyway we all know I.R.G.C of Iran first killed US Marines in Lebanon. So what was the response of the USA, NATO ? Any direct action against Iran? No, instead a few attackers were killed and avoided direct conflict with Iran. This embolden Iran and IRGC started spreading its tentacles slowly in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and even Pakistan. In Saudi Arabia they were crushed with a heavy hand although tensions between Shia extremist Iran and Wahhabi Saudi Arabia continued until recently when communist China brokered a peace arrangement. Although Saudi Arabia is trying now to shed off its extremist path. In Syria Iran and Russia actively supported the dictatorial regime of Assad , where the local population was targeted with brute military power and even chemical weapons. And what did Turkey now the biggest supporter of Hamas? Well initially helped the opposition in Syria, then slowly left innocent civilians to their own des...
