<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Dershowitz says, "[BDS] think they're going to bring back peace and they're just dead dead wrong. I support free speech, I support their right to tell their lies, and I support my right to call them lies.
But I don't support their right to use the kind of economic discrimination that the Nazis used against the Jews in the 1930's when they boycotted Jewish stores."<br>
<br>
We should note the cowardly acquiescence of our local ‘liberal’ legislators, state senator Scott Bennett and state representative Carol Ammons (both Democrats), to the Israeli government’s interference in the Illinois legislature on this matter, in support
of its racist policies in the territories that it illegally occupies.<br>
<br>
Three years ago Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law the first-ever state action against boycotts of Israeli apartheid - a bill requiring Illinois to identify companies that boycott Israel for its discrimination against Palestinians - and then to withhold investing
Illinois pension f unds in those companies! Neither Bennett nor Ammons voted against the bill, which had been actively lobbied for by the Israeli consulate in Chicago.<br>
<br>
That a foreign government should be directing Illinois’ investment strategies is bad enough, but that it should be in support of racism, illegal occupation, and human rights abuses is outrageous.<br>
<br>
It has been observed that apartheid against Palestinians in the territories that Israel occupies is worse than the apartheid regime that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. That system was based on the repression of the black (African, Coloured and Indian)
majority of the population for the benefit of the politically and economically dominant group, Afrikaners.<br>
<br>
Bennett and Ammons would not have favored South African apartheid a generation ago. That they do so now, in Israel, is shameful.<br>
<br>
Another reason that the war-party/Democrats s hould not be supported, on the state or national level. —CGE<o:p></o:p></span></p>
