BDS, the movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel, just became a live issue for NYC teachers, cops and firefighters.
Mayor Mamdani has backed it, and activist campaigns are pressuring the city's pension boards to divest.
So what would that actually mean to those influenced?
The targets aren't obscure.
BDS lists name 47 major US companies, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Disney and Starbucks, because they have offices, R&D, or contracts in Israel.
Those 47 make up nearly 37% of the US large-cap market.
The new analysis suggests cutting them would've cost 2% in returns per year. Projected over a decade, that's an estimated $37B hole in pensions and by law, taxpayers fill the gap.
And Palestinians? Look at SodaStream: its Judea and Samaria/West Bank factory employed ~600 Palestinians alongside Israelis at equal pay, a beacon of hope for co existence. BDS pressure pushed it to relocate to Israel in 2015, and ~500 Palestinian workers lost their jobs.
American workers poorer. Palestinian workers unemployed.
Nobody freed. Everybody billed. Classic pro-Palestine behavior - no positive vision for a better future, just destroying.
