Dutch 'Christians for Israel' protest against GreenLeft party that assured BDS is legitimate

Some dozens of people on Tuesday morning assembled in front of the bureau of the political party GroenLinks (GreenLeft) in Utrecht in the Netherlands to protest against a motion that the party adopted at its last convention, whereby it said that BDS (Boycott, Desinvestment and  Sanctions) is a legitimate weapon in the struggle for Palestinian rights. The protestors, members of ''Christian for Israel'', the biggest fan club of Israel in the Netherlands, carried slogans like 'GreenLeft has the wrong friends'', "Shame on GreenLeft'' and ''BDS strives to anihilate the Jewish State''.
What seems to have escaped the attention of the Christians was that GreenLeft did not adopt the goals or methods of the boycott, but  only spoke about BDS as legal and in line with the freedom of expression. In fact GreenLeft even rejected BDS itself. That, however, was lost on this bunch of Isarel loving people, who use to cheer at the establisment of any new colony in occupied territory, or any new breach of international law by the Israeli occupation.
Christians for Israel seems to have more than 100.000 members who are all enthousiastic supporters of the rightist Israeli government, the colonization of the West Bank and the suppression of the Palestinians. They frequently turn criticism of Israel into ''anti-semitism''. It is one of the main organizations in Holland that can be held responsible for the constant denial of basisc facts that is a characteristic of Dutch Middle East policy.
