The BDS movement, initiated by Palestinian civil society in 2005, advocates for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel as a response to its occupation and actions in Palestinian territories. The movement seeks to apply pressure on Israel through non-violent methods, aiming for the end of Israeli occupation and recognition of Palestinian rights. Critics of BDS argue that its underlying goal is the destruction of Israel and highlight connections to organizations viewed as terrorist entities.

2. What is BDS?

3. BDS stands for
Boycotts,
Divestment, &
Sanctions

4. The BDS movement was
started in 2005 by
disgruntled Palestinians
(The Palestinian Civil
Society)

5. Their Target?

6. The Jewish Nation of
Israel

7. Boycott:
BDS activists lobby stores not to carry Israeli
products and encourage others not to purchase
them. They send letters to artists, musicians,
authors, and academics, imploring them not to
perform and appear in Israel or cooperate with
Israeli institutions.

8. Divestment:
From companies that do business with Israel –
Distorting the concept of ethical investing, non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) accuse
companies that conduct business in Israel of
involvement in war crimes and violations of
international law. The NGOs approach investors,
primarily large banks and pension funds, and push
for the exclusion of these companies.

9. Sanctions:
Against self-defense measures – Anti-Israel
activists demand that the international
community enact comprehensive sanctions
against Israel – treating Israel as a pariah state.
The ultimate goal is legally enforced sanctions by
the UN Security Council. Other forms of sanctions
include arms embargoes, which are premised on
baseless charges of war crimes. Similarly, legal
proceedings are initiated against Israeli officials to
punish Israel for defensive actions.

10. The Palestinian Civil Society’s Complaint:
1. They object strongly to the wall Israel is building.
2. They object to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank,
including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, & the Golan
Heights.
3. They object to Jewish settlements that continue to
be built.
4. They object to Israel’s existence & believe that
Palestinians were “ethnically” cleansed.

11. The Palestinian Civil Society’s Call to Action:
1. They seek non-violent, punitive measures.
2. They ask the international community of the world
to impose broad boycotts & implement divestment
initiatives against Israel- similar to those used in S.
Africa to fight apartheid.
3. They are seeking sanctions & embargoes against
Israel.
4. They ask conscientious Israelis to join their boycott.
http://bdsmovement.net/call

12. The Palestinian Civil Society’s Desired Outcome:
1. They want Israel to end its occupation & stop
Jewish settlements in Arab lands.
2. They want Israel to recognize the fundamental rights
of Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel to full equality.
3. They want Israel to respect, protect, and promote
the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their
homes & properties.

13. Their “Desired”
Outcome Sounds
Reasonable, Right?

14. WRONG!!!
WRONG!!!

15. The Palestinian “Civil” Society
wants to overthrow & destroy
the Jewish nation of Israel.
Their goal is anti-Semitic to the
core!

16. How do I know?

17. Let’s take a look at a
few of the “peace
loving” supporters of
the BDS movement…
http://bdsmovement.net/call

18. Council of National & Islamic Forces in Palestine
 Includes both PLO & Non-PLO factions.
 Some organizations are listed as terrorists in
the West.
 This group’s committee includes: Fatah, Hamas,
& Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_National_and_Islamic_Forces

19. Al-Ard Committees for the Defense of the Right of Return-
Syria
• This group was outlawed in Israel in 1964 because Palestinian
Arab Communities inside Israel feared Al-Ard would destroy
them.
• Syria is an enemy of Israel. They don’t recognize the State of
Israel. There have not been diplomatic relations with Israel &
Syria.
• The President of Syria even declared the “Arab world’s
intention to fight against Israel.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ard

20. The PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization)
• Formed in 1964 with the purpose of liberating Palestine
using armed conflict!
• Seeks to destroy Zionism in the Middle East.
• Was considered a terrorist organization until the 90s.
• Fatah, which has a number of militant groups, is a member
of the PLO.
• According to the U.N., the PLO is the primary representative
of the Palestinian people.
• Many followers of the PLO have joined either Hamas or
Hezbollah (terrorist groups)
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Terrorism/plo.html

21. National Forum of Martyr’s Families, Palestine
• Islam’s definition of ‘martyr’ differs greatly from the universally
accepted definition.
• Martyrs of Islam can include: suicide bombers, jihadists, anyone
killed fighting unbelievers, etc. So if you died while attacking
Israel or Jews, this group supports that!
• Abba’s Fattah declared that a Palestinian man who was killed
while trying to attack Israeli troops is a “heroic martyr.”

university-honors-terrorist-murderer-of-three-with-human-
reading-chain/

22. Popular Committee – al-‘Azza (Beit Jibreen)
refugee camp, Bethlehem
• The Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine is a terrorist organization. Are they
the same group as above? Probably. The BDS
website is purposely vague.
• This group has ties with China, Russia, Syria,
S. Yemen, Libya, Iraq, & Iran.
• This group opposes negotiations with Israel.

23. Take a look at a few
quotes from supporters
of the movement…

24. “The current phase has all the emblematic
properties of what may be considered the
final chapter of the Zionist project. We are
witnessing the rapid demise of Zionism, and
nothing can be done to save it, for Zionism is
intent on killing itself. I, for one, support
euthanasia.”
- Co-founder of Palestinian Campaign for the
Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel
(PACBI) Omar Barghouti (2004)
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article/ngo_leadership_in_boycott_and_divestment_campaigns

25. “Justice and freedom for the
Palestinians are incompatible with
the existence of the State of Israel.”
- As'ad Abu Khalil, a central activist in
the U.S. (2012)
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article/ngo_leadership_in_boycott_and_divestment_campaigns

26. “OK, fine. So BDS does mean the end of the
Jewish state.... I view the BDS movement as a
long-term project with radically
transformative potential....In other words,
BDS is not another step on the way to the final
showdown; BDS is The Final Showdown.”
- Pro-BDS author Ahmed Moor
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article/ngo_leadership_in_boycott_and_divestment_campaigns

27. Well, there you have it! The
truth is laid bare, but…

28. To their shame,
“Christian” Churches are
even joining this anti-
Semitic movement…

29. Churches Who Support BDS Direct Quotes
The British Methodist Church “This decision has not been
taken lightly, but after months
of research, careful
consideration and finally,
today’s debate at the
Conference. The goal of the
boycott is to put an end to the
existing injustice.”
-Christine Elliott

32. Churches Who Support
BDS
Direct Quotes
The United Church of Christ
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul
/01/us-churches-vote-on-joining-bds-
movement-targeting-israel Believes in a two state solution:
“We similarly assert the right of
Palestinians to have a sovereign,
independent and viable state
within secure and recognized
borders.”

33. Churches that have joined this movement
have left the teachings of the Bible,
& they have erroneously embraced a
social Gospel. Their desire to solve world
problems like poverty, slums, poor
nutrition, education, crime & war has
blinded them from the truths found in the
eternal Word of God!

34. These churches love to
make Jesus a social
crusader, only , & not the
Messiah of Israel!

35. So what does the Bible &
the Messiah teach about
Israel?

36.  Abraham’s grandson Jacob (through Isaac)
was renamed Israel (by God Himself)-
Genesis 35:10
 Jacob (Israel) had 12 sons who became the 12
tribes of Israel- Gen. 46
 When Jacob died, his bones were carried to
Israel as an eternal sign that God would bring
Israel back from their captivity & place them
in the land once again- Gen. 46:4
 The prophet Ezekiel had a vision of dry bones
coming to life (Ezekiel 37)
 The dry bones are the entire house of Israel &
the eternal God promised to bring them back
to Israel (Ezekiel 37:12).
 Ezekiel’s ancient prophecy was fulfilled in
1948!
Israel’s history goes
all the way back to
the book of
Beginnings!

37. What about Abraham’s
firstborn son, Ishmael?

38. Ishmael was not the son of promise
(Romans 9:9), Isaac was.
Even so, God promised to bless
Ishmael, and He did (Gen. 17:20).
But Ishmael’s descendants have been
at war with the son of promise for
thousands of years (Gen. 16:12).
Ishmael’s descendants include:
Ishmaelites from the area between the
Persian Gulf & Sinai Peninsula,
Ishmaelites from the countries of Saudi
Arabia, Jordan, & Iraq, and Bedouins.
Father Abraham had 2 Sons…
Ishmael was NOT given
inheritance rights to the land of
Israel, Isaac was!
Genesis 21:10

39. But, that’s not fair!
Ishmael was Abraham’s
firstborn.

40. God’s definition of ‘fair’ is
much higher than man’s
definition of ‘fair!’

41. And since God created
EVERYTHING, He gets to call the
shots,
& He has decided that Israel
belongs to the descendants of
Isaac (through his son Jacob)-
the Jews!

42. God’s Words, Not Mine…
Concerning Israel Reference
“Do NOT curse these people (Israel)
for they are blessed!”
Numbers 22:12
God will turn every curse against
Israel into a blessing!
Deuteronomy 23:5
God will personally save Israel &
make her a blessing to the nations
who cursed her!
Zechariah 8:13
Israel is, and will forever be, the
apple of God’s eye!
Zechariah 2:8

43. In essence, the BDS
movement is a modern day
curse upon Israel which God
will NOT allow!

44. By the way, Jesus made it
perfectly clear that He was
called, first , to the “lost
sheep of the House of
Israel.”
-Matthew 10:6

45. Therefore, the Church’s mission is
to the Jews first, then to the
Gentiles.
Romans 1:16
(Relax, it’s o.k. God planned it this
way!)

46. Church, it’s time to accept your true
mission:
1. Pray for Israel
2. Reject the BDS Movement
3. Love Jews
4. Love Palestinians & Gentiles
5. Be Biblical !!!!
