All of BDS calls for Israel destruction via Right-of-Return, including SJP and other racist organizations like JVP, PSC, & the ISM.

The founder of BDS, Omar Barghouti admits his movement wants Israel ended.

“I do not buy into the two state solution. It is not just pragmatically impossible, it was never a moral solution. The first issue would be the right of return, but if the refugees were to return you cannot have a two state solution like one Palestinian commentator remarked. You will have a Palestinian State next to a Palestinian State, rather than a Palestinian State next to Israel.
Omar Barghouti, Ottawa University, March 4, 2009


Mahmoud Abbas admits allowing for millions of Palestinian refugees will end Israel


Abbas Deemed It 'Illogical' for Israel to Absorb 5 Million Refugees, Palestine Papers Show
"On numbers of refugees, it is illogical to ask Israel to take 5 million, or indeed 1 million," Abbas said, according to the details of the Palestine papers. "That would mean the end of Israel."

Longtime BDS advocates Norman Finkelstein & Noam Chomsky admit BDS wants Israel gone.

I’ve earned my right to speak my mind, and I’m not going to tolerate what I think is silliness, childishness, and a lot of leftist posturing.

I mean we have to be honest, and I loathe the disingenuous. They don’t want Israel. They think they are being very clever; they call it their three-tier. We want the end of the occupation, the right of return, and we want equal rights for Arabs in Israel. And they think they are very clever because they know the result of implementing all three is what, what is the result?

You know and I know what the result is. There’s no Israel!


. . .

It’s not an accidental and unwitting omission that BDS does not mention Israel. You know that and I know that. It’s not like they’re “oh we forgot to mention it.” They won’t mention it because they know it will split the movement. ‘Cause there’s a large segment of the movement that wants to eliminate Israel.

And then there are boycotters of settlements who oppose BDS because they know BDS calls for the end of Israel.




But how do all these people, from BDS leaders to boycotters to rightwing Zionists know that a return of millions of refugees would destroy Israel? Because Arab leaders have been saying it for decades.

“In demanding the return of the Palestinian refugees the Arabs mean their return as masters, not slaves, or to put it more clearly – the intention is the extermination of Israel.”
- Salah al-Din, Egyptian Foreign Minister

“If the refugees return to Israel – Israel will cease to exist.”
- Gamal Abdel Nasser

“The day on which the Arab hope for the return of the refugees to Palestine is realized will be the day of Israel’s extermination.”
- Abdallah al-Yafi, Lebanese Prime Minister

It is well-known and understood that the Arabs, in demanding the return of the refugees to Palestine, mean their return as masters of the Homeland and not as slaves. With a greater clarity, they mean the liquidation of the State of Israel (Al-Misri, October 11, 1949).

To us, the refugees issue is the winning card which means the end of the Israeli state. (http://www.fateh.net/e_public/refugees.htm)

The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as an open sore, as an affront to the United Nations and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the refugees live or die. (Ralph Galloway, UNRWA, as quoted by Terence Prittie in The Palestinians: People, History, Politics, p 71)
