BDS: Anti-Israel and anti-American
Star Parker: 'Hate, destructiveness and envy do not make this world a better place'

A recent event I attended on Capitol Hill opened my eyes.

It was hosted by the Endowment for Middle East Truth and the subject was “Exposing BDS: The Movement That Seeks to Destroy Israel.”

BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions. It is a movement trying to conduct economic warfare against the state of Israel by encouraging, through these actions, severing global economic relations with the Jewish state.

Among the many miracles surrounding the re-birth of the state of Israel 68 years ago is the economic growth that has occurred there. From swamps and desert, Israelis created a modern country with per capital income on par with modern Western industrialized nations. Several years ago, Israel was welcomed as a member of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. Its membership consists of 35 nations with the world’s most advanced economies.
