> where do they say BDS are for the destruction of Israel

I'm not sure if the organization has stated such, but certain high-profile members of the movement have expressed sentiments along those lines:

> Take Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS Movement and a founding committee member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Israel, Barghouti wrote in 2001, “was Palestine, and there is no reason why it should not be renamed Palestine.” In 2004, he declared, “the two-state solution … was never a moral solution to start with,” a fact that might surprise the majority of Palestinians and Israelis who continue to support it. Speaking in 2013, Barghouti opined (5:53), “Most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”

That sounds like Barghouti, the co-founder of the entire BDS movement, is calling for the elimination of Israel as a state. Consider also that the #1 goal of BDS is "Ending Israeli occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall."

When you combine "Israel must leave Arab lands" with "all of Israel is Palestinian land", it seems reasonable to conclude that the goal is the elimination of Israel as a state.

Also FTA:

> Similarly, Ali Abunimah, leading BDS advocate and editor of the Electronic Intifada, devoted an entire book to promoting the one-state solution over the two-state one, entitled, One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse. Ahmed Moor, editor of After Zionism: One State for Israel and Palestine, has been even more pointed about the BDS movement’s aims: “BDS does mean the end of the Jewish state.”

There's no "sounds like" with Moor, he unequivocally calls for the elimination of Israel as a BDS goal.

> As'ad AbuKhalil (Arabic: أسعد أبو خليل‎) (born March 16, 1960) is a Lebanese-American professor of political science at California State University, Stanislaus.

> .. He is vocally pro-Palestinian, describes himself as an anti-Zionist, supports a secular Palestinian state. He is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and says that the real aim of BDS should be to bring down the state of Israel, stating that "Justice and freedom for the Palestinians are incompatible with the existence of the state of Israel".

Because it should be ONE state since these are virtual simaese twins that are intertwined and to seperate one from the ohter would kill them both....Read 'One Country' by Ali Abunimah
