Israel on Sunday identified 20 activist groups from around the world whose members will be banned from entering the country over their calls to boycott the Jewish state, stepping up its fight against a movement it views as a serious threat. Israel last year enacted a law that would ban any activist who "knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel." The list made public Sunday follows up on that legislation and could impact thousands of people if it is enforced. "The boycott organizations must know that the state of Israel will act against them," Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan said in a statement. "The creation of this list is another step in our struggle against the incitement and lies of the boycott organizations." TRUMP'S BOLD MOVES JUST MIGHT JOLT PALESTINIANS TO NEGOTIATE WITH ISRAEL The list is part of Israel's efforts against a grassroots movement known as BDS, which calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel over its policies toward the Palestinians. The movement has urged businesses, artists and universities to sever ties with Israel and it includes thousands of volunteers around the world. Supporters of the movement say the tactics are a nonviolent way to promote the Palestinian cause. Israel says the campaign goes beyond fighting its occupation of territory Palestinians claim for their state and often masks a more far-reaching aim to delegitimize or destroy the Jewish state. Erdan's office said the list would be provided to Israel's immigration authority, but it wasn't clear how the ban would be enforced, including for Israeli citizens who might be members of the groups. A spokesman for Erdan did not respond to requests for clarification. The listed groups, from the United States, France, South Africa and beyond, count thousands of people as members.

Looks like Israel is going Trumpish. MIGA
Wait a minute, why are you people writing on Freerepublic? Shouldn’t you be sitting front and center at the television? The Golden globes will soon be on and this is the time where once a year that our superior celebrities will learn us on politics.
The Golden Globes have become golden sh!t balls.
Good for them.
Needs to include enemies like J Street and other sorozNazi- funded and front groups. But, a good start
It would be nice to see the boycott list.
I would rather watch reruns of Romper Room than watch the Golden Globe awards.
the ban-list needs to grow some... but here it is (first edition....)just a few of the hate groups and Muslim terrorist murder gang apologists so far,
I am afraid the writing on her chest was not the first thing I looked at.
Seems to me like their hangin kinda low.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
