Flotillas and boycotts, divestment and sanctions failures: RIP

I cannot hide the fact that I am pleased with the failures of the flotillas and the BDS (boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel) movement in general. These are movements that were borne out of ignorance, propaganda, lies and hate and, more significantly, the people involved want to do harm to others -- physically, economically and emotionally. As protest organizers disguise their objectives as legitimate protests against Israel, they come to the aid of terrorists who have slit the throats of their own people just as Hamas did to their brothers in Fatah. Imagine a young man going off on a flotilla expedition telling his father and mother that he is risking his life for the sake of terrorists. What responsibility does western society and media have to expose the pure anarchy that is involved in such a decision and that is rampant and goes unchallenged in universities, unions and in Islamist groups? ...

Israelis — especially the younger generation, and being part of the West/Anglosphere — are getting hip to embracing the need for PR, social media, spin control, etc. Heck. Young Israelis are the reason so many firms like Intel and Applied Materials are making big investments in the Jewish State. Money talks; bullshit gets washed away.
