The United Nations finally admitted that the virulently
anti-Israel BDS movement is a significant cause of Jew-hatred worldwide.

United With Israel Staff
On Monday,
the United Nations (UN) released an interim report by Special Rapporteur Ahmed
Shaheed that blasts the UN for its stance on BDS and exposes the movement’s
role in promoting anti-Semitism.
The report,
called “Combating Anti-Semitism to Eliminate Discrimination and Intolerance
Based on Religion or Belief,” was presented to the Human Rights Council
following recent addresses by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on
anti-Semitism and religious freedom.
It discusses the “growing use of anti-Semitic tropes by white
supremacists including Neo-Nazis and members of radical Islamist groups,” and
slams “‘left-wing’ anti-Semitism [that] employ[s] anti-Semitic narratives or
tropes” to criticize Israel.
The report
concludes that “that the objectives, activities and effects of the Boycott
Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement are fundamentally anti-Semitic.”
Shaheed
included, however, that “international law recognizes boycotts as constituting
legitimate forms of political expression and that non-violent expressions of
support for boycotts are, as a general matter, legitimate speech that should be
protected.”
But, he
stressed that “expression which draws upon anti-Semitic tropes or stereotypes,
rejects the right of Israel to exist, or advocates discrimination against
Jewish individuals because of their religion should be condemned.”
