Omar Barghouti, the founder of the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions movement (BDS) against Israel, has loosened restrictions against watching Israeli pornography for the duration of the coronavirus lockdown.
“If an Israeli finds a cure for cancer or makes a remarkably hardcore porno video, we do not ask that supporters of the Palestinian cause or Palestinians themselves boycott these innovations,” Barghouti told The Mideast Beast. “Taking life-saving Israeli medication or watching hot Jewish girl-on-girl action is not normalization of ties with the Zionist occupation.”
It is the second significant concession by Barghouti in recent weeks. The Palestinian activist earlier said that it is permitted to use a vaccine for COVID-19 if one is invented by Israelis. Looking to avoid further confusion and another public announcement, BDS has released a list of situations in which it is permitted to violate the boycott. Examples include:
- It is permitted to hook up with an Israeli if he or she is at least a 7.5;
- If Bamba ever makes a jalapeno-ranch flavor, boycotters are allowed to try it once;
- You are permitted to attend an Israeli university if it will help you lead an anti-normalization movement.
Barghouti reiterated, however, that Palestinians are still banned from any cooperation with Israel that would improve their lives, such as utilizing drip irrigation, Pillcam, or bionic walking assistance for paraplegics.
