The Israeli government yesterday held an international legal conference against the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Quds Press reported.
The news site reported Israeli media saying that the Ministry of Strategic Affairs organised the conference in cooperation with the Israeli Bar Association and the International Judicial Institute.
Israeli media said that 200 legal experts from 24 countries were invited to the conference to develop strategies “to contain the growing influence of the movement”.

Suddenly the summer tranquility of a country swollen by extreme heat shook, and the social temperature rose even more. The news went viral in the media and social networks: the owner of a hostel in the resort Valizas canceled the reservation of a couple of Israelis claiming that he does not agree with the policies of his country, and that he has had terrible experiences in the past with Israeli tourists
Tras la polémica decisión del gobierno de Donald Trump de reconocer a Al Quds – Jerusalén - como capital del régimen israelí y definir el traslado de su Embajada desde Tel Aviv a la ciudad sagrada, el mundo reaccionó con decisión, para oponerse a esta determinación. Efectivamente, el día 18 de diciembre del 2017 en el seno del Consejo de Seguridad, catorce de los quince miembros de este Consejo se opusieron a la idea estadounidense. Washington se enfureció, ejerció su derecho a veto tras la resolución presentada por Egipto, que buscaba frenar la decisión unilateral de Trump, quien comenzó a amenazar a diestra y siniestra frente a lo que considera una afrenta contra su “soberanía”. El mundo al revés: la creencia hegemónica no acepta disensos.

The Declaration adopted by the Islamic Extraordinary Summit held in Istanbul on December 13, 2017 invited "the whole world to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine." He also pleaded "to mobilize support, in the name of all humanity, to give strength to the State of Palestine and its institutions in all fields."
All good that the Palestinian problem has appeared for the Islamic world, because, as far as is known, this problem was being hidden discreetly, including by certain Arabs and Muslims, some petulants who were and are playing the game to the Gringo-Zionist alliance . Sincere support always came from the Arab peoples, almost always equally lacking in support for their own just demands.

Nosotros, los grupos abajo firmantes de la sociedad civil comprometidos con los derechos humanos universales, el desarrollo sostenible, la libertad de movimiento y el turismo ético estamos alarmados al ver al Giro de Italia, un evento ciclista de primer orden mundial, ayudando a Israel en violaciones del derecho internacional y de los derechos humanos de los palestinos.
Celebrar el “Gran Comienzo” de la carrera 2018 en Israel no solo encubrirá la ocupación militar de Israel y las políticas racistas contra los palestinos, también exacerbará la sensación de impunidad de Israel y lo alentará a continuar negando al pueblo palestino sus derechos estipulados por la ONU.
Comenzar la carrera en Jerusalén ayudará a consolidar la pretensión ilegal de Israel sobre la soberanía de la ciudad. Desde que ocupó y anexionó ilegalmente Jerusalén Este hace más de 50 años, Israel ha trabajado incansablemente para expandir y consolidar sus colonias ilegales exclusivas para judíos en el interior y alrededor de la ciudad.
