The B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) has today welcomed part of the resolution passed at the ALP National Conference which rejects the “boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel”.
Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the ADC, issued the following statement:
“This public repudiation by the ALP National Conference of the pernicious and divisive BDS movement is to be welcomed. This principled statement makes it unequivocally clear that hateful double standards, anti-Semitism and the delegitimisation of Israel have no place in the ALP. The conference did the right thing, and we are heartened that the delegates understood that waging an economic war against Israel and unfairly maligning the Jewish state will not bring Israelis and Palestinians to the negotiating table and will not promote dialogue and peace between the two parties. In fact, The BDS deepens divisions between Israelis and Palestinians and makes the possibility of reconciliation less likely.”
