Help Us Stop Boycotts Against Israel (BDS Movement): Rachels Who Have Died

Rachels Who Have Died

Local Bay Area pro-Israel activist Mike Harris of StandWithus/San Francisco Voice for Israel speaks before the screening of "Rachel" at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, 7/25/09

This video shows clearly the attitude that many BDS proponents display - they won't listen to opposing views, they interrupt and denigrate others, and they dismiss the sufferings of people other than the Palestinians. Their tactics are reminiscent of the Brown shirts in Germany, who shouted people down and boycotted Jewish businesses.

NOTE: The sponsors of this website know that Israel is not perfect - neither is the U.S. or any other country. However, Israel is a special refuge for Jews and many others around the world and should be protected as such. The sponsors of this website believe in a two state solution to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

AN ALTERNATIVE: Instead of boycotts, which divide people and ascribe blame to one side or the other, you can support peace between Israelis and Palestinians by supporting organizations such as the NEW ISRAEL FUND, which sponsors projects of collaboration and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.

What was the driving force behind his work? What kept him going when for years the odds were against his efforts? What is his legacy today, more than 60 years after the end of World War II?
