It should work fine this time too, just apply it to all economic, cultural and social contact with the state of Israel. And wait for a decade or two for the message to filter through, and the pressure to accumulate.

The end will be a democratic Israel or the self-destruction of Israel.

It seems that those Arabs Israel murders in Gaza, (and Dubai) because they’re not Jews; or harass, humiliate, and displace in the West Bank, because they’re not Jews, are held to have no equal claim to their bona fides as injured parties in the Weisberg world. The Gazan’s apparently have no bona fides as victims shunned and blockaded because of their Hamas government in Weisberg’s alleged liberal view. His liberalism is full of such holes of exceptionalism – perhaps one should question the bona fides of those who give him a voice.

Why anybody in the West would be insulted by the epithet “antisemitism” is beyond me. Indeed, if you haven’t been called an antisemite by now, you’re not doing enough for the cause of justice and the rule of international law in the Middle East.

Yes Mr. Weisberg , that is right. Israel has laws and rights for some people and other laws and rights that only apply to Jews. It is called apartheid and it is so reprehensible and anti-democratic, racist, tribal, and inhuman or whatever you want to call it, that the whole nation that inculcates such laws and accepts to live with them and where their people pay their taxes without question and use their armed forces or their srgrigated freedom of those empowered to use arms themselves to enforce these unjust laws, killing those that rebel and disproportionately punishing their families, friends and the whole group that they see as “those that must leave” or those who are apposed to their way of thinking; as a whole nation, it is “so intrinsically reprehensible” that it should be treated by all those who recognise it entirely as a pariah to descent human society.

Unfortunately BDS deprives them only of interaction with those civilized societies that see the fault. By the way I buy nothing from Zimbabwe and I avoid products manufactured by certain number of companies related to the USA too. Who the hell is Mr. Weisberg to tell me where and to whom I should spend my money or give my support or what I should or should not accept as ethical? Boycott, divest, and sanction is my and everybody else’s “individual” right. I do it with pride.

Yes, when a number of us use our self determination and our small individual economic power in unison it hurts, and if enough of us do so that changes some one’s position as they get uncomfortable, that is when the pigs squeal and they call us stupid sheep. Welcome to animal farm.
