Undercover footage exposes the inner workings of the BDS movement

The term BDS refers to Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions conducted against the state of Israel, and also a way to attack the Jewish people both in Israel and worldwide. Partially funded by the PLO, the BDS movement grew out of the Arab League boycott of Israel begun in 1950 after Israel’s War of Independence. The Muslim and Arab world and its Arab League, despite tentative agreements with Egypt and Jordan, began the boycott in 1950 and have never signed a peace treaty with Israel even after the cessation of hostilities in 1948. Five Arab armies back then sought to wipe the new Jewish state off the map but failed. The purpose of the Boycott was to starve the Jews out of their new homeland. The Boycott movement was given new life and recreated as Arab irredentists expanded the movement later in the academic arena, notably in American colleges and later in churches and through labor movements. The International Solidarity Movement was set up by Yasser Arafat in 2001 with the help of two “camp counselors,” Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro, who were employees of Seeds for Peace, a camp set up and funded by the U.S. State Department, to operate in the U.S. and Europe to promote BDS and other anti-Israel activities on campuses and elsewhere (see StopthISM.com). The BDS movement is a support mechanism for Palestinian terrorist groups in their efforts to de-legitimize and ultimately destroy Israel. Its leadership calls terrorism that kills Israelis “legitimate resistance.”

Twelve years ago Lee Kaplan of Stop the ISM infiltrated a training session of LaRudee’s group and reported on their activities. Of interest is that during the recent Board of Directors discussion in the video below, even twelve years since the last expose’ of an internal training session exposing the BDS movement Kaplan, they are still afraid of being again exposed by Stop the ISM for their activities or even identified to the public-at-large. The recordings and videos that follow prove invaluable in identifying who the BDS leaders are on the West Coast, their proposed activities and even how they handle money in a taxpayer-supported organization.

Below is a snippet of one of their internal meetings in which Jeff Pekrul addresses the Board about a training group he just taught. Besides discussing Lee Kaplan’s infiltration, he discusses affinity groups and his last recruitment of BDS anti-Israel activists. Affinity groups and what they mean in BDS and support for groups like Hamas gets discussed. Affinity groups are part of keeping the anarchist movement alive today and driving in part organizational BDS. What is amusing is affinity groups are designed to serve to promote secrecy which this article and videos have shown the BDS movement is failing at, especially since their Board of Directors has been spilling the beans to Stop the ISM for a long time. Now the world gets to see them behind closed doors.
