Protect Your City

What is going on in your city hall?

The BDS movement aims to eradicate the State of Israel by importing the 7th century anti-normalization rules from the Arab world into the West.

With Hamas on its board and in managerial positions, with their headquarters in Ramallah, and with over 20 years of a hate campaign against Israelis and Jews, they are using the Palestinian cause as a Trojan horse to infiltrate Your city hall.

Exercise: Google “BDS” and your city name to find out how bad it is.

Labeling Israel as “settler-colonial, apartheid, and genocidal” is a strategy announced in Durban 2001, a festival of hate designed to blame Israel for all the above.

On their site, BDS explains their bottom-up theory-of-change strategy: they will discriminate against Israel city by city until the entire country’s policy is changed.

This, of course, is illegal and racist, which is why they hide behind human-rights language and BDS-aligned NGOs, basically hijacking and militarizing the entire NGO space.

The BDS movement strategy is simple and destructive. It wants to build enough pressure—loud, angry, and ideological—to:

(1) force companies, universities, artists, and institutions to sever ties with Israel, harming ordinary people and shutting down cooperation, and

(2) push politicians to adopt anti-Israel policies that isolate the country, weaken it publicly.

City halls shouldn’t be a front in a war — they are here to care for our cities.

But no longer. They are now being infiltrated and manipulated to pass racist laws, undermine national policy and gain influence, one city at a time.

Who finances BDS?

BDS Ten Fronts
BDS works to influence cities through “political, cultural, and financial jihad,” targeting ten main fronts:
Education, Economy, Culture, City Halls, Legal, Environmental, Sports, Students, LGBTQ, and Unions.

BDS campaigns operate under pretexts such as “Peace economy,” “Apartheid Free Zone,” and “Twin city” initiatives. Learn more here https://bdsmovement.net/local-governments
