Yawn. There is another anti-Israel BDS week of rage. Expect some lame flash mobs, geriatric hippies holding incomprehensible signs and lots of self-congratulatory messages on social media.

Yesterday they were in front of Bed Bath and Beyond in Marina CA, boycotting Soda Stream. I went in, spoke to the GM at the store (told him I supported the store and their products) and then purchased a Soda Stream. I then walked out and marched the big Soda Stream box right past the demonstrators as they tried to hand me their propaganda. If you have the means, this is the best way to counter demonstrate.
