Israel's normalization agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will give Israeli business an official, stable bridge to the entire Arab world, particularly the other Gulf states, with Saudi Arabia, which was in on the secret all along the way, at their head. The opportunities that have been opened up in the Arab markets for Israeli firms are huge, and could dramatically boost Israel's exports, to the UAE, and via them to other Arab countries.
A prominent businessperson, formerly a senior officer in the security forces, told "Globes" that although there were substantial ties with the UAE beforehand, this agreement puts everything above board, and lends legitimacy to buying from Israel for companies and governments throughout the Arab world, through UAE intermediaries. In one way or another, this happened before, but now "the sky is the limit".
A source in Saudi Arabia told "Globes" that the Arab world had a great deal to gain from Israel. This is a breakthrough. The Palestinian issue has not gone away and will continue to be an obstacle to some degree, but the road is open.

The mindset of the zionists of Israel indeed.Pfffft! Phony war on terror.Are you still pimping Israel's terrorist canard?RE: Boycott Israel
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: While delivered very passionately - it still is supporting a pragmatic defect. The delivery begins with (public disorder and an unsafe environment) what they are trying to end with (the elimination of public disorder and the unsafe environment). Claiming that the response to violence (under Article 43 of the Hague Regulation) is somehow not normal. That judicial punishment (under Article 68 GCIV • offenses which are solely intended to harm the Occupying Power) is somehow improper because it does not fit the political agenda of the many factions which call themselves "Palestinians" (Jihadist, Fedayeen Activist, Hostile Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and Asymmetric Fighters) described as peaceful people, even though the violence (they complain about) is a consequence of their initiated criminal acts which are often intentional offenses which have caused the death of one or more people.
(COMMENT)One of the dirtiest words in both Arab and BDS media is “normalization” – anything that treats Israel and Israeli Jews as anything but disgusting entities.
In 2011, +972 Magazine once published a BDS group’s explanation of what is so horrible about normalization, and some of it sounds like parody:
There is no justification for the Arab Palestinian to engage in criminal activity that is directed against Israel (or any state for that matter) and intended or calculated to create a state of terror in the minds of the Israelis (or any other people).
“Nothing can justify terrorism — ever,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared
at the opening of a high-level meeting of the Security Council today, that the
council's body’s deep concern over the terrorist threat and its determination
to combat it by all means in all its forms and manifestations, in line with the
United Nations Charter and international law.
Nor is there any justification for any oration
(like we see here) that would incite
discrimination and hostility or appeal to the emotion of the audience to the level of violence.
It is because the many national security interests do not want to appear draconian, that people such as depicted in the video, are allowed to continue the platform for the delivery of such inflammatory speech. An "argument from passion," as we see here is still misrepresenting the legality of violence in these matters, and is still a fallacy on so many levels.
Most Respectfully,

That’s an inflammatory statement. Based on a libellous and delusional premise.
Terrorist = Anyone we don't like.
One of the dirtiest words in both Arab and BDS media is “normalization” – anything that treats Israel and Israeli Jews as anything but disgusting entities.
In 2011, +972 Magazine once published a BDS group’s explanation of what is so horrible about normalization, and some of it sounds like parody:
Oh really? Because later on in that same document Israeli Arabs are described as victims of coercion:A key principle that underlines the term normalization is that it is entirely based on political, rather than racial, considerations and is therefore in perfect harmony with the BDS movement’s rejection of all forms of racism and racial discrimination. Countering normalization is a means to resist oppression, its mechanisms and structures. As such, it is categorically unrelated to or conditioned upon the identity of the oppressor.
Can you believe it? Israeli Arabs are being coerced into working and using public services – exactly like their oppressors!Palestinian citizens of Israel ….may be confronted with two forms of normalization. The first, which we may call coercive everyday relations, are those relations that a colonized people, and those living under apartheid, are forced to take part in if they are to survive, conduct their everyday lives and make a living within the established oppressive structures. For the Palestinian citizens of Israel, as taxpayers,such coercive everyday relations include daily employment in Israeli places of work and the use of public services and institutions such as schools, universities and hospitals.
Equality is the new apartheid.
But if the BDSers consider Israeli Arabs to be victims of coercion, then who are the oppressors? Why, they are Israeli non-Arabs, pretty much all of who happen to be Jews!
What more proof do you need that the BDS movement is antisemitic?
When Arabs use the term, they are no less antisemitic. An example this weeks comes from Palestinian newspaper Al Quds News, which is upset over Dubai’s publicly acknowledging a synagogue in the Emirates.

The more debate the better.The previous director of the Jewish Museum Berlin left in the wake of a tweet.
In May, after the German parliament declared the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel anti-Semitic, the museum tweeted a critique of the decision, arguing that it was undemocratic, and shared an article featuring several Jewish scholars who agreed. Public pressure mounted against the director, Peter Schafer, and a debate about the role of Jewish museums and the legality of the BDS movement ensued.
