BDS hurts Israel

When people criticize and try to damage Israel — the only real democracy in the Middle East — under the banner of Boycott, Divestiture, and Sanctions (BDS), then it seems to me that BDS stands for Bad, Dumb, and Stupid.

Trying to hurt the Israeli economy is counterproductive to the cause of freedom and democracy in the world.
