Where is Abu Ahmad?

The correct answer is “Abu Ahmad is dead.” Of course he wasn’t really dead, until he was.

The BDS movement would rather no one knew about Abu Ahmad. BDS wants the hit series Fauda kicked off of Netflix.

Maybe they don’t like the idea that we see a widowed Palestinian bride in such a humane way?

Or maybe that in the moments before a tragic attack, an Israeli woman shows kindness toward the attacker. Not because she knew the woman who was bent on destruction. It was simply a fleeting moment of human to human connection that moments later was gone.

Or was it the Palestinian doctor caught up between two worlds that BDS wants hidden from world view? Or the Palestinian mother who choses life and safety for her children over a twisted version of patriotism?

I don’t think BDS gives a damn how the Palestinians are portrayed.

What the BDS movement can’t stomach is the humanity on the Israeli side. Is it the toll it takes on these officers personal lives as they protect Israeli civilians from Hamas attackers? Is it the desperate moves to save their friend that cross the line, but never into true evil that they don’t want you to see? Is it just how complicated and entangled the both sides really are that bothers them? Or maybe they hate the idea of people knowing Israel needs an intelligence gathering unit to stop terrorist attacks against its civilians?

The BDS movement works like well rehearsed bullies. Every bully is afraid of something. Turns out, these bullies are afraid of a TV show.
