One of Canada’s largest student association endorses BDS against Israel
snip* With the passage late last week of the resolution, York University's student association joins two others in Canada - the University of Toronto and Concordia University graduate student associations - in endorsing the BDS campaign, according to the York University Excalibur.
The campaign calls for universities to divest from holdings in companies that do business with Israel and to cut ties with Israeli academics.
The vote by the council of the York Federation of Students was 18-2 in favor and was advocated for by the Students Against Israeli Apartheid at York.
Jewish student groups at York complained that they were not given advance notice of the vote and had little time to prepare an argument against the resolution.
snip* Chaim Lax, president of Hasbara@York, said his group was disappointed and called the resolution “fundamentally racist, and a possible violation of [York’s] anti-discrimination codes.”

Until they take that lie back, they get called out for their bullshit.
They're also against 2 states.
But still you support BDS. Go figure. 
Another very basic reality that Palestinians in Israel face is that Israel is the only country on earth that does not define itself as a state of its citizens. It’s a state of the “Jewish people.” What does that mean? It means that even if you have lived in Palestine for generations, even if you were there before it became Israel, you don’t receive the full set of rights if you are not Jewish. Israel does not belong to you; it belongs to the “Jewish nation.” In fact, the very concept of a “Jewish nation” is controversial, and Jewish communities around the world have debated and continue to vigorously debate it.
Imagine the equivalent here. Imagine if the U.S. declared itself a “Christian state”–a state of the Christian nation. Any Christian around the world would have full rights in the United States, but not its Jewish, Muslim or other non-Christian communities. Would anyone accept such inequality written into the laws themselves? Would anyone accept unequal treatment based on their identity? Why then is it acceptable that Israel has dozens of laws that discriminate against its non-Jewish citizens?
In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and in Gaza, such apartheid treatment is obviously much more pronounced than within Israel. At least Palestinian citizens of Israel can cast a vote. Yes, all parties have to take a loyalty oath to the state as “a Jewish and democratic state,” but this is, of course, an oxymoron: a state cannot be both a Jewish exclusivist supremacist state and democratic.
If we go to the West Bank and Gaza, we see that apartheid is concrete. Israel’s “separation wall”–Israel’s apartheid wall–lies predominantly within the Occupied Territories, and it has been ruled a violation of international law by the International Court of Justice.

but be proud of what that stands for if you wish 
Why deny what you endorse/support?
BDS is what it is, so why not admit it & be proud of what it is?
Embarrassed?
and thanks for confirming my previous post innuendo and inference is all you have here
but when it's Israel not so much that's called self defense or something
now myself I am for Palestinians having equal rights and self determination preferably in their own state, that they are refugees in foreign countries is a good deal of the problem
...nor are they BDS.
most times I just roll with it ya know
Predictable yet amateurish.
