It is very telling that those who support this BDS movement have never said anything about what is happening in Tibet with the Chinese taking over there. The Chinese aren't Jews so there is no big movement against them, and all those BDSers think nothing of buying good from China.
Unfortunately, the tibetan people pays the price of their own buddhist pacifism...
It's a forgotten cause just like the palestinian cause in the 50's and 60's.
As you probably remember most people didn't even know at the time that hundreds of thousands of arabs had been displaced by the creation of the state of Israel.
Not even the guerrilla struggle against Israel was able to make their cause widely known.
Right or wrong it was only spectacular actions like the hijacking of planes and ships that brought international attention to their cause.

BYW, José, Lopéz happens to be a Sephardic Jewish name. Could it be that his ancestors escaped the Inquisition and ran to Mexico. A smart guy like you probably knows about those in the American Southwest who are sending in their DNA and finding out they have Jewish roots.
Yep.... it's hard to believe nowadays but there was a time when there were more Jews in Spain and Portugal than saguaros in Arizona.
Anyway the US and Mexico have a lesson for Israel and Palestine:
The moment the mexican people lost the will to fight the US annexation of their northern provinces was the moment the land became a legitimate american territory... not a second earlier.
Thanks to the grudging acceptance on the part of the mexican society of american sovereignty over California, Texas, etc... the US is now free to fill dozens upon dozens of buses crammed with illegal mexicans
EVERY SINGLE DAY without being accused of racism, ethnic supremacism, etc...
The message to Israel is clear:
If someday you manage to break the will of the palestinian people just like America did in Mexico the land is yours, you'll get the same treatment America gets from the rest of the world... no anti-semitism involved.
