Although it does not appear to receive the same media attention as it used to, the Boycott Divestment Sanctions Movement is still very active in its opposition to Israel. Although the BDS Movement espouses principles of freedom, justice and equality, it demonstrates via its actions that they believe those principles should only apply to the Palestinian people and not to Israel.
The movement itself has been very careful in trying to position itself as a human rights group whose existence is supposedly about promoting the self-determination of the Palestinian people. However, its thinly veiled antisemitism has not fooled Israel’s supporters. In 2019, the German government stated that calls for the boycott of Israeli goods was compared with the Nazis’ call for the boycott of Jewish goods. In fact, for those who may legitimately become confused as to what constitutes antisemitism rather than criticism, Natan Sharansky suggests his unique “3-D test”. Under this test, criticism crosses over into antisemitism when Israel is demonised, delegitimised or held to a double-standard.
There are many people throughout the world who, through their rabid antisemitism, claim that the world would be better off without the Jews. Some extremists may even go so far as to avoid anything in their life which has a Jewish connection. To give you an idea of the absurdity of this worldview, let me outline some of the everyday items which antisemites would have to do without if they were to erase Jewish invention from their lives.
Writing
People would have to give up writing with a ballpoint pen. Fountain pens used to be the predominant method of writing, but many writers struggled with fountain pens because they often leaked and smudged.
A Jewish journalist named Laszlo Biro sought to change that experience. He developed the original ballpoint pen, allowing the ink to flow smoothly without the mess. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
