Qatar To Support Global Boycott Against Israel

From The Telegraph:

The Israeli government has reacted angrily to plans by the Gulf state of Qatar to support a group backed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn which wants to impose a global trade and cultural boycott on the Jewish state.

Qatar has emerged as the main financial backer of a conference to review the aims of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign which opens in Tunis on Thursday.

BDS was founded a decade ago by Palestinian human rights activists and is supported by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, as well as leaders of the radical Palestinian Hamas movement. The group seeks to organise a global economic and cultural boycott of Israel in retaliation for its failure to negotiate a peace settlement with the Palestinians.
