New Orleans City Council pass (5-0) Anti-Israel Business Contracts Resolution

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement "BDS" Resolution Passes in New Orleans

The New Orleans City Council and new SJW Mayor are more fricked up than originally anticipated as they pass a anti-Semitic Resolution prohibiting businesses from working with anyone associated or supporting anything related to Israel. I'm sure they realized quickly that the Port Business would dry up in New Orleans but then again these idiots are too stupid to know that

"The council voted 5-0 last Thursday to plan a review of the city’s contracts and investments to ensure that none of them support companies or entities that have violated human, civil or labor rights around the world.

But after belatedly realizing the resolution was part of an international movement to boycott Israel, City Council President Jason Williams and other council members say they will move to reconsider it at their next council meeting.

On its surface, the resolution looked innocuous and made no reference to any specific human rights violations. But the City Council’s public relations firm, the Spears Group, put out a summary of the council meeting Thursday that clearly stated the resolution was “in accordance with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, also known as BDS."

"BDS is a non-violent movement dedicated to economically punishing Israel and companies that do business with it as a protest of the Jewish State’s 50-year military occupation of the West Bank. Israel gained the West Bank and other territories while defending itself from a simultaneous attack by six Arab countries in 1967’s Six Day War."

"Even Cantrell, who drafted the resolution as a part of her Welcoming Cities initiative, said she was baffled by its connection to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“I didn’t know it would be this controversial,” Cantrell told WWL."

When WWL-TV asked her if she knew her resolution had been crafted by the New Orleans Palestinian Solidarity Committee, she equivocated.

“Um… I know that there were students -- I believe they were students -- that were at the council meeting, I believe, because I saw them when I was leaving,” she said.

The passage of the resolution was immediately trumpeted by pro-Palestinian groups as a watershed moment: they claimed it was the first official support for BDS from a Southern American city."
