Item One: Last week, several anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of London. As members of the LGBT community, they were protesting against the performance of the Israeli singer, Netta. What a video of the event clearly brought out was the ignorance of the demonstrators, because Netta herself is a proud to associate herself with LGBT.

Netta’s visit to the UK was action packed. She went on to appear at an event on behalf of British Airways. It was only a few months previous that she had been introduced to Prince William, who is just two places away from being the King of England. Imagine boycotting those royal institutions. Bizarre!

Item Two: Where the BDS – boycott movement – against Israel seemingly recorded some success was the threatening announcement of Airbnb. This global brand has a jaw-dropping 150 million users on its mobile app . As senior commentator Tom Gross observed: Airbnb is targeting “Jewish owned” properties in the West Bank. “There are about 200 other disputed regions in the world but Airbnb will not be boycotting any of these others (for example, Turkish occupied Northern Cyprus, Chinese-occupied Tibet, Crimea, Moroccan occupied Western Sahara, and so on).”

In his weekly report, Tom Gross also added with great contrast how a “female BDS activist, Jess Balding, has fallen in love with a female Israeli soldier and converted to Judaism. Balding has now moved to Israel and says she now wants to study to be a rabbi.” Maybe she will meet Netta?

Item Three: Dodging between this hypocritical noise is the not-so-well-known Idriss Deby, the President of Chad. His visit to Jerusalem this week is significant because, he is not just the leader of a country, which is 60% Muslim. HIs territory is full of raw materials such as oil and gold.

Deby has received full coverage. In similar fashion, Prime Minister Netanyahu has openly travelled to Bahrain and Oman in recent weeks. And who knows what is happening behind the diplomatic scenes between Saudi Arabia and the Holy Land?

Which reminds me: Did you hear the news about Saudi’s boycott of………..the Palestinians?

Yes, it is stupid. Actually, it is worse. BDS is malicious and hateful. But could you imagine what would happen if the movement was really successful?

Item Four: “Sniffphone“. I kid you not with the name. You see………..

Israeli Professor Hossam Haick of the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology was awarded the European Commission Innovation Prize last week for his invention of the SNIFFPHONE, a device that uses nanotechnology sensors to analyze particles on the breath and is able to pinpoint to exact diseases, like certain kinds of cancer, pulmonary and even the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases.

Haick is not Jewish. And while the country may not be perfect, as far as possible, Israel practices pluralism. Thus its citizens come up with these invention that can have a truly positive global impact.

However, BDS would have you believe that this life-saving product should be boycotted, like Netta. Strange? Funny? Bizarre? Or just downright anti-Semitic, the very antithesis of pluralism.
