ANALYST: BOYCOTTING ISRAEL CAN STOP TEL AVIV REGIME CRIMES

Atalanta, 14 Rabiul Awwal 1436/5 December 2015 (MINA) – A political commentator says the world must boycott Israel in order to halt the ongoing crimes by the Tel Aviv regime against Palestinians.

Jim W. Dean, the managing editor of Veterans Today, said that the international community and the world public must impose “a widespread boycott of Israel,” Press Tv quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign has taken some concrete steps to boycott Israeli institutions over the constant crimes against Palestinians, Dean said.

He said a large number of civil society organizations and universities around the world are joining the BDS, as are a number of states.

Commenting on the recent move by Palestinians to join the International Criminal Court (ICC), the analyst said that the Court doesn’t have enough resources to investigate all of the crimes of the Israeli regime.

He suggested that the world public opinion was turning against Israel, which could really deliver a blow to the Tel Aviv regime.

The world is waking up to the reality that “Israel has been running crimes against humanity,” Dean said.

The analyst concluded by saying that Israel will continue committing crimes against Palestinians through building settlements across the occupied lands and launching wars against Palestinians.

Israel has launched three major wars against Gaza since 2008.

During the latest war against the Gaza Strip in summer 2014, Israel used advanced arms and warplanes to kill over 2,000 Palestinians. According to the UN, over 80 percent of the Palestinian fatalities were civilians, including more than 500 children. (T/P011/R03)
