in 2015 they held a bds referendum.ng israeli impunity and ending complicity of those institutes and bodies etc that we might be a part of that are also complicit. it's about ending our own complicity too. bds pressures israel to end the occupation of arab lands by calling for the boycott of israeli companies and institutions. i think soas in a lot of ways is a beacon actually for a lot of other universities. it is so important that we lead this movement. since the referendum at soas, many more students unions have signed up to the movement but some people claim that bds is threatening the welfare ofjewish students. so students unions talk a lot about safe space, and i think a space which is specifically, explicitly boycotting israel is not a safe space for israeli students or for many other students who have various kinds of links to israel, or for other students who simply are worried by the politics of the singling out of israel as a specific, unique evil on the planet. so do you think these students unions in questi

recently, israel passed some anti-bds ban that would not allow any supporter of bds reaven supporterspartial boycott against israel's illegal settlement in the occupied territory from entering the country. they are establishing in these like less of israelis who support any form of boycott against institutions to bring about justice and bring about palestinian rights. this mccarthyism is no longer just a metaphor. it is truly happening, as israel defends into the abyss and as people in the mainstream are warning there are signs of fascism taking over in israel. amy: do you think, omar barghouti -- what would you like to see come out of this meeting next week on may 3 between mahmoud abbas and president trump? amonghink i'm not alone palestinians who have very little hope that anything can come out of this. first, palestinian officials who are currently leading do not have a democratic mandate to compromise on any palestinian rights as they are doing. so they are not opposing palestinian rights under international law, not opposing palestinian refugees to return to actually live withou

as canadians and as americans, and that is the bds movement. there has been -- i have seen this in my political lifetime, the bds movement being the principal vehicle. one can disagree with the israeli government's policies on this aspect or that. but the bdf movement is not about that. the bdf movement is about translating the old ideology of anti-semitism as accessible to a new generation. the bds movement in calling for the boycott sanctions and divesting in israel, doing things like trying to have israeli academics expelled or not allowed, having jewish students harassed. these are the realities. my son came home from his university campus a couple of years ago, and showed me a sign by the bds movement, star of david with a slash through it. the whole thing, could have come from berlin in 1938. it is incumbent upon all of us. there are times -- we think of us as canadians, but there are times we see things we disagree with and act with excessive politeness, when we see things, where people advocate these things it is incumbent on us to be a

when a students union accepts bds, when the national union of students accepts bds, when you have yourael, you understand this is what is fuelling anti—semitism. in total, we found 17 students' unions who have endorsed bds, and they include some of the largest in the uk, like manchester and ucl. but are they doing anything wrong? since 2010, students' unions have become registered charities, and this means they now have a legal duty to act in the interest of their members. political campaigns must not become their focus, and they are not the publicly on issues that don't affect the welfare of their members as students. we raised these findings, and the charity commission has now confirmed it is examining... and that... the idea that somehow supporting bds, supporting a boycott, an academic boycott, etc, is kind of a blanket boycott on individuals i think is very dangerous. it's not, it about saying, we don't want institutional links, economic links, political banks with institutions, governments, companies that are complicit in the attacks on rights. the subject of israel ignites and d

the bds movement is nothing short of another incarnation of anti-semitism. that's what this is.'s not be fooled by those who tell us this is about peace. this has never been about peace. in fact, it only makes a lasting agreement between israelis and palestinians more unlikely. no, this is about one thing and one thing only. israel's right the exist as a jewish democratic state. that's what this is all about. [ applause ] let me just say a few words about peace -- i still believe peace is possible. i do. but it requires leadership. how can we ask israel to make peace with the palestinian authority that forms a unity government with hamas? [ applause ] how can we ask israel to make peace with a government that incites anti-semitism and violence and names public squares after terrorists? [ applause ] how can we ask israel to offer painful concessions in the name of peace when the other side still refuses to acknowledge her right to exist. [ applause ] this to me is the crux of the issue. we've heard the case that this is all about settlements. that if israel would just stop buildi

fight bds for the movement that it is. there's one other place where this cloaked anti-semitism lurks and that is in the hallsst united nations. the u.n. singles out israel more than any other nation, especially in the human rights counsel which remains hell bent on admonishing the only beachhead of democracy and representative government and equal rights in the middle east. just the other week a top u.n. official was forced to resign after she published a deaf ma torre report that declared israel had engaged in "the crime of apartheid." i'm glad she was forced to step down. the baseless attacks disguised as official appraisal are a smear campaign. but unfortunately we all know this is business as usual at the u.n. since the days of zionism is racism, the u.n. has been incubator for israel bashing. it is a forum where israel is almost always labelled villian and never the victim. friends of the jewish state should not trust it. i hope one day israel will be treated fairly at the u.n. time may be on israel's side because i

you took a couple significant steps today on bds as well as the disrunt yocount.et neutrality is going to come later. can you talk sort of generally about your overall plans to deregulate the industry as well as roll back much of what the obama era fcc did? >> so, the overall approach is pretty simple. it's not to deregulate or to overregulate. it's simply to take an accurate view of what the marketplace is like in a moment of time and structure a regulatory framework that will maximum the incentives for investment, for innovation and competition. if in a marketplace we have data that suggests a regulatory system that the fcc had on the books for a number of years needs to be tweaked, we're going to tweak it. not because we have some idelaublgical zeal to do it, but because the data and analysis and the law, some combination of, drive us to the conclusion we need more competition in the marketplace and the best way to do it is to leave behind the tired ideology. i outlined why it seems seductive in the moment. who wouldn't want the government saying prices should
