I think that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement is going to need to find a Permanent Headquarters.
I didn't know they had a headquarters problem?
To some degree, there is validity to the Omar Barghouti position that the BDS Movement is NOT "intrinsically anti-Semitic."
What do you mean,
"...to some degree..."?
It's not anti-Semitic at all, in any degree.
I agree.
The "occupation", is the cause of all the violence.
Occupations are supposed to be temporary. This one has last almost 70 years. No other occupation in history has lasted this long and it is just ridiculous to try and justify something like that.
The occupation has to end. Period.
Israel was in breech of their side of the agreement, which, from that point on, made the "Accords", un-enforceable.
It's an Iron Curtain, just like the one Berlin had.
No they don't! There's jew-only roads; jew-only communities; jewish-Israeli's can have their spouses come to live with them in Israel, arab-Israeli's have restrictions, jewish-Israeli's do not. Arab-Israeli's have been taken off buses that were passing through jew-only communities.
That's not equal treatment.
All Israel has to do, is obey the law. That's it. And there will be peace.
The disputes between the Israeli and Palestinian are not expected to be resolved under the current political climate and given the expectations of the belligerent parties in the negotiations. We can always hope, but have no reason to expect success. Thus, the status quo is the most likely outcome.
Nothing will be resolved until the occupation ends. That's the first step.
A status quo outcome is much more favorable to the continued healthy economic development of Israel than is the alternative potentials offered by the negotiated outcomes with the Palestinians. The parasitic nature of the State of Palestine and the fact that is has a leadership and government that is incapable of standing on its own, able to focus on progressive programs beneficial to its constituents, will eventually lead to its collapse. Its dependence on donor contributions make it vulnerable to rapid deterioration and degeneration, while affording Israel greater security conditions.
The "occupied" are the "parasites"; the "occupiers" are not?
That's pretty whack!
