The Oxford Union has backed a motion proposed by prominent American lawyer Professor Alan Dershowitz opposing the boycott of Israel.

The motion, “Is the BDS movement against Israel wrong?”, was carried by 137 votes to 101 by the prestigious debating society on Sunday.

Prof Dershowitz, who spoke against human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, told the union: “I am a pro-Palestine and pro-Israel. The BDS movement is against the two-state solution.”

He added: “BDS is based on bigotry. If Israel was not the nation state of the Jewish people, then this debate wouldn't be happening today.

"BDS will absolutely not bring peace. If the BDS movement is desirous of peace, then why will its leaders not debate me?"

1. Dershowitz is right on the money calling BDS bigots:

He added: “BDS is based on bigotry. If Israel was not the nation state of the Jewish people, then this debate wouldn't be happening today.

BDS movement recently attempted to bar a Jewish American singer from performing at a Reggae even in Spain ,because he was a Jew, but had no problem with Gay hating Homophobic extremists performing at the same event.
