through the ministry of strategic affairs which is this new ministry aimed at countering the b.d.s. movement which it views as an existential threat to the survival of the state of israel is jewish voice for peace which has fifteen thousand members is a jewish peace organization that's almost two decades old and most of those members are jewish so israel has formalized plans to detain and deport thousands of jews. americans and that's something we haven't seen before it suggests panic on the part of the right wing israeli government you know and one of the things going to ask is how is do you know how is the reaction actually inside of israel to this know if they're potentially deporting you know. the people the jewish heritage who are going to be american you know support b.d.s. now they're going to deport or not allow him these people into the country what's the reaction inside israel because yeah great question i mean israel's government is more right wing than ever the right controls over eighty seats in the knesset out of one hundred twenty seats that's israel's parliament and so the op

an explosion of grassroots organizing protest and activism there were major victories for the b.d.s. movement putting pressure on israel to treat palestinians like human beings for a change the black lives matter movement continued to call attention to police brutality and systemic racism and activists turano burks need to movement is helping to change our society both of those movements are our big steps for traditionally a press. groups sure there are there are issues with any but women need to be resolved i'm sure there are people in black guys matter think president obama was a savior just because of his skin color doesn't matter that he continued the militarization of the police and the prison industrial complex which is a crime against humanity now look past that because he fist bump jesse at the white house christmas dinner. that's all really matters you know obama may go to the racist imperial system go down smooth a really bad if he was the pickle juice to the imperial whiskey burning all right. i know it sounds weird but it's sublime. and there are people in the me too movement who

of the dreams our fathers and mothers had for it you can spend tens of thousands culturing the b.d.s. movement but if you lose a man like that with his attachment to israel to judaism with his intellectual abilities you're in more trouble than you think but i reject the substance of his argument anyone who goes to israel and you visit to my country many times who reads the israeli press who follows the israeli. scene who sees the debate in our parliament who sees the debates in our intellectually media everyone knows that israel is a country where the speed of speech and freedom of thought is secretary to a country where the debates on these political issues are he doesn't and many others but he has i'm sorry he's wrong anyone who visits israel objectively knows i urge you to go these are the people mr reg who your losing and you can ill afford to lose people like that i'm sorry but i can disagree with them if they are factually wrong and he is factually wrong on this particular case israeli democracy is strong and vibrant i mean i urge you just to go to your computer and read a dozen israeli
