Israel Daily News Stream 01/16/2014 | HonestReporting: "Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to the Times of Israel: Settlements aren’t necessarily illegal in international law, and called the global Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions movement anti-Semitic. I may be wrong, but I think she’s the first Western diplomat to pin that label on the BDS campaign:
“Israel has to be ever vigilant against such tendencies on the part of the international community,” the minister said. While private organizations were free to boycott whomever they wanted, any Australian body that received state funding should be barred from calling for boycotts, she continued.
She also strongly condemned the global anti-Israel BDS movement: “It’s anti-Semitic. It identifies Israel out of all other nations as being worthy of a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign? Hypocritical beyond belief.”"
