Thank you for the courage to say what many of us see and don't have the means to get it out there. Keep up the good work. Pure cowardice.

Thank you Naomi. Thanks NewsClickin for uploading the speech.

BDS against Israeli apartheid, policy of injustice, war crimes. Down with the apartheid wall!

I don't support state politics which commit ethnic cleansing and open-air-prison for 1.5 million people in Gaza. How can a society justify this politic with an own history of suffering?

It shows that men in power are all the same, when they serve for capitalist and religious interests.

Peace and equality for all people in Israel-Palestine!

How many countries surrounded Israel during the Six Day War with the intent of annihilating her? How many rockets have been fired into southern Israel during the past decade? How many suicide bombers have attacked Israel over the years? When Israel cedes lands to these beasts, the beasts used that land to attack Israel. The speaker is a disgrace to humanity. So is Jimmy Carter.

Israel is just like South Africa, except we don't have an 18% HIV infection rate.

another specimen of a brainwashed mind offering shallow, decontextualized, skewed opinions. you'd think the lady at least knows that the BDS advocates are explicit about their desire to see the destruction of israel. she is no better than the worst of them, pretending to be motivated by a love for justice, when in fact, it's clearly a solidarity for those who want to bring an end to the Jewish state. What a pretentious bore.

oh please, what a great specimen of a brainwashed mind spewing a load of stupid, completely decontextualized garbage.

Israel is destroying itself through the wall and Occupation. It's responsible for its own predicament.

I see on YouTube a widespread concern for the suffering of the Palestinians. As commendable as this activist's sentiment is, it can quickly lead to a naive, exaggerated and oversimplified view of not only this particular conflict, but also geopolitical reality in general. International diplomacy, world history, political philosophy and moral theory are all far too complex to accommodate silly retreats into black and white conceptions of good/evil and right/wrong.

Zionists have secret meetings where we tell our children not to throw molotov cocktails at each other.

If BDS, like Klein seems to be stating, aimed for peace, then hey, I'd be all for it. But, Omar Barghouti and BDS make it very clear that they are not for peace, they are not about the end to the occupation or the pulling down of the wall. They are about the destruction of Israel through the right of return of refugees. This is not talking peace but war. Klein knows this. She is deliberately misleading you. State it up front: BDS is about the destruction of Israel - that's a call to war
