There is some really bad news for the
lunatic anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) brigade. Virtually every electronic device in the
world is now produced using Israeli technology. The systems manufactured by Yavne-based Orbotech are used globally
to produce almost every printed circuit board on the planet. So when you tell the BDS crazies to dispose
of all their electronic equipment, here are some recent news reports relating
to other everyday items that they also need to steer well clear of.
1. Doctors and medicine
BDS advocates must never approach hospitals
or GP surgeries because Israeli discoveries, treatments and life-saving devices
dominate the medical arena. Latest
advances include treatments for pancreatic
cancer and bladder
cancer; a vaccine against avian
flu; improved methods for diagnosing ADHD
and blood
clots; a new durable material for hip
replacements; an app for diabetics;
a watch
that prevents heart attacks and safer
cancer radiation therapy.
2. Water, food and drink
There is seldom a day without an announcement
from one of Israel’s prolific water treatment companies. It may be Miya,
saving billions of gallons of water in the Americas, South East Asia, South
Africa and Australia; or RWL
water, supplying water treatment systems to America’s nuclear energy
industry. And the BDS mob will soon
need to avoid most well-known food and drink products as the top companies in
the US
food and beverage industry are adopting Israeli water solutions in
their manufacturing processes.
3. Agricultural produce
Israeli companies, products and innovative
methods have revolutionized
the agricultural industry in many countries.
Israel has established twenty “centers of excellence” in
India, providing technological solutions to agricultural issues. Netafim started propagating Israeli
technology in 1965 with its drip
irrigation system - now popular even in Arab countries. Netafim has just completed a successful
international pilot project of its uManage platform, which helps farmers to
monitor irrigation/fertilizer performance and yields. Meanwhile, even apparently small-scale Israeli innovations can help
feed billions of needy people.
Israelis Moti Cohen and Mendi Pollak won the $20,000 top prize in the
Pears Challenge. Their Livingbox
“mini-farm” can grow vegetables anywhere, with a self-sustaining
“closed loop” of energy and nutrition.
4. Being photographed
Israeli cameras have acquired such a high
reputation that members of the BDS cult will almost certainly find that their
images have been taken by Israeli-produced equipment and recorded on
Israeli-developed storage. There is
nowhere for them to hide - NASA has even adopted Israeli cameras from Israel’s Medigus
to conduct inspections in space. And if
they try to find a shady
place to conceal themselves, it may have been constructed from one of
the Israeli designs entered in the international urban shade competition at the
Holon Design Museum.
5.
Human contact
BDS-ers should avoid contact with products
and services from almost every country in the world (even
Arab ones) because of their ties with Israel; but here are a few recent
highlights.
China: - A delegation headed by Ren Zhiwu - deputy director-general of
China’s High-Tech Industry Department of the National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC) - arrived in Israel, the first time the high-level government
team has come to Israel.
India: - In the biggest
pro-Israel, anti-terrorist rally in recent years, an estimated 20,000 gathered
in Kolkata, India in a show of solidarity with Israel.
Vietnam: - Trade between Vietnam and Israel increased by 53 per cent
year-on-year to $426 million during the first half of 2014.
And if in the not too distant future you
should happen to spot any stupid BDS-ers trying to relax and enjoy the lavish
gardens and waterfalls at the bio-dome
being built at Singapore’s
Changi Airport, please whisper in their ears, “Nice isn’t it? “Designed by an Israeli!”
6. Colored fabric
The final red light for the
“dyed-in-the-wool” BDS thugs is that Israel’s Kornit
Digital Printing has developed water-based inks that are entirely
organic, 100% non-toxic, vegan-friendly and compatible with all types of
fabric. Kornit’s high-speed DTG
printers are “revolutionizing” the fashion industry with single step fabric
printing and no additional finishing.
So you will be able to distinguish BDS
“clowns” very easily. They will be the
sickly, parched, thin, sad and lonely ones, wearing bland clothing.
Losers!
