BDS Italy condemns fascist exploitation of Palestinian victims
BDS Italy denounces anti-Semitism as racist and reactionary ideology and condemns the use of Palestinian suffering as a pretext and tool for spreading this vile ideology. In particular, we condemn the fascist call to boycott Jewish-owned businesses, a call which includes an appalling „blacklist“.

It has nothing to do with the odious and despicable maneuvers of fascists new and old.

It‘s not just the far-right that is becoming more fascist and violent. Regular Israelis are losing their mind too during this war.
