Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today (June 15, 2015) that a Palestinian-led campaign to boycott Israeli goods was reminiscent of Nazi Germany's campaign against Jews, The Daily Star (Lebanese) website reports.
Meting with visiting Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna, Netanyahu raised the issue of "the defamation of the Jewish people" on Polish soil when the Nazis controlled much of Europe.
"The attacks on the Jews were always preceded by the slander of the Jews. What was done to the Jewish people then is being done to the Jewish state now," Netanyahu said.
The Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign aims to put political and economic pressure on Israel over its occupation of the Palestinian territories, in a bid to repeat the success of the efforts which ended apartheid in South Africa.
