While I probably don't agree very much with Barghouti, I didn't find anything that would indicate that he was an anti-Semite. Perhaps you think that promoting equal rights for Palestinians is anti-Semitic, I don't know...

Anyway, I'm not sure about what role Barghouti has when it comes to BDS. I support BDS by not buying settlement produce, but I barely know anything about Barghouti. I think it's pretty much a mistake to try to prove the supposed anti-Semitism in the BDS Movement by showcasing people who probably aren't even anti-Semites.

Do you have any proof of Barghouti's alleged anti-Semitism, or is it just so obvious that no proof is needed?

The proof is all the lies that incite hatred/violence as well as support of terror.... shira Aug 2016 #6

Aha. It's a matter of faith then. No proof is needed. Little Tich Aug 2016 #7

So you don't believe inciting hate/violence with lies & supporting terror vs. Jews is antisemitic. shira Aug 2016 #8

Not even an itty bitty shred of evidence? n/t Little Tich Aug 2016 #9

Huh? Evidence is in lies that incite hate/violence. Also support of terror vs. Jews shira Aug 2016 #10

Here's Barghouti of BDS quoted saying Jews aren't a people, aren't indigenous.... shira Sep 2016 #11

That's Barghouti's own opinion about BDS. Little Tich Sep 2016 #12

He created the BDS movement & gets to define it, not you. He is BDS. shira Sep 2016 #13

BDS is a method, not the Comintern. Little Tich Sep 2016 #14

Barghouti defines BDS. Without him, there is no BDS. shira Sep 2016 #15
