„Our enemies have failed to destroy Israel militarily. They have failed to destroy Israel economically. So now, having failed to destroy Israel militarily and economically, they are trying to destroy Israel politically. BDS tries to present itself as some sort of democratic movement concerned with human rights. That’s a lie. On the contrary, BDS is an international campaign to incite hostility toward Israel and the Jewish people. Let me be clear: the BDS movement is not motivated by disagreement with specific Israeli policies. BDS has no interest in peace. And no interest in improving the daily lives of Palestinians. Its real aim is the destruction of Israel. … What is BDS? BDS is nothing more than a dangerous new strain of an age-old disease. And that disease is anti-Semitism.“ (Der Präsident des Jüdischen Weltkongresses Ronald Lauder in der israelischen Tageszeitung Jerusalem Post: „BDS is the modern form of anti-Semitism“)
