http://mondoweiss.net/2014/12/boycott-protests-actionWhile temperatures cooled, the first week of December saw a tremendous kindling of the Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) movement, as Palestinian solidarity activists across the US flooded RE/MAX offices, demanding that the real estate giant cease its activities in illegal, Jewish-only settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
RE/MAX is one of the largest real estate corporations in the world. RE/MAX International, based in the US, with headquarters in Denver, Colorado, oversees more than 100,000 agents in over 7,000 offices in almost 100 countries. Realtor Magazine has consistently ranked numerous RE/MAX franchises in its annual list of Top 100 Companies.
Several of RE/MAX’s Israeli franchises sell property in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, including the French Hill, Armon HaNatziv, and Pisgat Ze’ev. The office of RE/MAX Israel’s Atid franchise is itself located in Maale Adumim, a major illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank. RE/MAX Israel agents openly admit that many of the homes they sell can only be owned by Jewish people.
BDS.

(12,606 posts)It's far easier to call them hate sites then to actually admit Israeli wrongdoing, right shira?

Tell me, what kind of evidence would you need to convince you that Mondoweiss is racist & incites hatred vs. Jews?

(30,109 posts)...proving to you that Mondoweiss is a racist hate site supporting terrorist acts against innocent Jews.
Fascinating.
Do you still support Rasmieh Odeh now that you've seen her sister and co-conspirator implicate her on video?

(30,109 posts)So despite knowing Mondoweiss is racist against Jews & supports terror vs. Jews, you'll keep posting their articles here - is that right?

(58,724 posts)How many activists were there at these protests? The photos appear to show something less than a flood.

Another BDS molehill being made out to be a mountain.

(12,606 posts)Perhaps you need to read the bolded part of the OP or I might have to believe the same of you.
Are you claiming the article is a lie?
hack89
(39,171 posts)it is the "activists across the US flooded RE/MAX offices" I think is bullshit. There was no "flooding" in her office. The agents were not even aware of BDS and their gripe with RE/MAX

(14,851 posts)RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (RMAX - Snapshot Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues Friday’s uptrend for the company — as the stock is now up more than 24% since Nov 13.
