BDS must be expanded to Israel visits

Senior American journalist, Wayne Madsen says the BDS movement has been effective because it has set down a scheme for boycotting Israel over its anti-Palestinian conduct.

Madsen was speaking to Qudsna on the sidelines of an international conference in Tehran on the role of the global Zionism in expanding terrorism worldwide.

The journalist proposed the BDS move be expanded to Israel visits.

Touching on the Israeli nuclear arsenal, Madsen said the US government helped Israel to build its warhead arsenal. The journalist cited revelations that certain individuals in the US intelligence and law enforcement bodies sought to prevent the transfer of plutonium from the US soil to Israel but were barred by unknown others.

The journalist also cited the dubious killing in Huston in 2008 of an individual who had got access to reports of the Israeli nuclear arms activities.

In another regard, the US journalist touched on the ordeal of the Palestinian nation and urged them to keep their eyes on the prize that is “an independent Palestine.”

The conference started work in Tehran in the presence of a group of independent film makers and intellectuals from across the world to review the role of the world Zionism in the Middle East crises.

Titled 'Ofogh No' (new horizon), the conference broached such topics as the similarities between Zionism and Nazism, the US and Zionist criminal records in the world, Hollywood and Israel lobby in the US, the role of Zionism in dividing Muslims and the emergence of the ISIL terror group.
