AJC Seattle

Global Jewish Advocacy in the Emerald City

AJC Seattle connects our community with AJC’s global advocacy work to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel. Our access to diplomats, elected officials, and interfaith leaders at the local level advances AJC’s broader global priorities: combating anti-Semitism, promoting Israel’s place in the world, and countering the spread of radicalism and extremism.

Our impact extends well beyond the Seattle community, helping AJC achieve tangible results in the form of government policies, formidable alliances, and hard-hitting legislation that make our world safer and more secure.

BDS

What exactly do they want?

The BDS website asks “What Is BDS?” and answers “The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.”  Its logo says “BDS: Freedom, Justice, Equality.”  What could be wrong with that?  No one favors oppression; everyone favors complying with international law.  But many have a sense that the BDS movement (and other, similar movements) want something more.  What exactly do they want?  It takes quite a bit of work–digging deeper and deeper, getting past misleading language and innocent-sounding slogans-- to find out.  They want to destroy Israel.  Learn how to get past the misleading language of Israel’s opponents, and see what their true goal is.
