Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194
Since its violent establishment in 1948 through the ethnic cleansing of more than half of the indigenous people of Palestine, Israel has set out to control as much land and uproot as many Palestinians as it can. As a result of this systematic forced displacement, there are now more than 7.25 million Palestinian refugees. They are denied their right to return to their homes simply because they are not Jewish.
What is BDS?
But Barghouti (Leader/Founder of BDS)is far more than a hypocrite – he’s an extremist: Barghouti doesn’t deny that he supports the destruction of Israel. He acknowledges it.
He’s stated that:

Who's right? I don't have a strong opinion on this. While most non-Muslim nations recognize Israel it is also among one of the most dislike nation/states? in the world, up there with North Korea.
Theological and legal arguments aside, I expect this we be settled by might makes right. A nation can only remain a nation as long as it can enforce its borders. This I suspect puts Israel winning, with its strong support from the US.
Indeed, Israel’s dependence on the US has become so deep that it is questionable whether the country could even survive today without it.
How long could Israel survive without America? And has Israel given up too much of its independence?

But Barghouti (Leader/Founder of BDS)is far more than a hypocrite – he’s an extremist: Barghouti doesn’t deny that he supports the destruction of Israel. He acknowledges it.
He’s stated that:
- Barghouti opposes a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- Barghouti demands a one-state solution that would include the return to Israel of all of the descendants of all of the Palestinian refugees. Everyone understands that this Palestinian “right of return” would open Israel’s borders to a massive immigration that would quickly overwhelm its Jewish majority and transform it from the one-and-only Jewish state into the twenty-second Arab state.
- “I know that you cannot reconcile the right of return for refugees with a two-state solution. This is the big white elephant in the room and people are ignoring it – a return of refugees would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.”
- When Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas recognized that Jews also have rights to the land of Israel, Barghouti joined others in accusing him of a “grave betrayal” of the “collective rights of the Palestinian people."
- He’s also called for the “dismantling” of the Palestinian Authority since its leaders are far too moderate for his taste.
