Setting aside for a moment whether the actual aims of the BDS movement are legitimate or moral, the movement itself is counterproductive to achieving those aims. If you claim to want freedom and self-determination and peace for Palestinians, you should not be supporting the BDS movement. It may make you feel warm and fuzzy and like you're doing something righteous, but as with a lot of the performative activism that goes on in so-called pro-Palestinian spaces, it harms the people it claims to care about.

Also, let's address this comment, shall we?

"As someone who is of ME background, I find it so funny watching ignorant ppl think there's such thing as 'israeli' food. You look like an idiot thinking that something like Hummus --which those child killers can't even PRONOUNCE-- claim it as theirs. The word is literally ARABIC, so is every other food they steal. They are irredeemable psychos to their bone. And a moron thinks it's antisemitic to say it. There were ARAB Muslims, Christians and J E W S who made this food. It was NEVER 'israeli.'"

Obviously this is an unhinged antisemitic screed. But also - sir, 45% of Israeli Jews are mizrachi/sephardic, meaning they have parents or grandparents who were BORN in the Middle East or North Africa. They come from Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, the Arabian Pennisula. They can pronounce hummus just fine. If you wanted the "Arab Jews" you say made this food to stay in Arab lands rather than exporting their native cuisines to Israel, maybe you shouldn't have ethnically cleansed them? https://jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-populations-in-the-arab-world. Idk man. Sounds like a you problem.


45% … ?! Yeah, OK.

Even if your statistic is correct (spoiler alert: it’s not correct, but instead effectively doubles the actual data point), why is it that that supposed plurality in the country has yet to figure out a way to get one of their own into the PM seat?

The truth is that the Ashkenazim have that Prime Minister slot locked up, they always have, and yet you want to peddle this meshuggeneh nonsense that a subgroup that’s supposedly twice as numerous as the Eastern Bloc crowd can’t figure out how to get in on the act?

As I said previously … yeah, OK.


Listen. You can argue about lots of things wrt Israel but people are not going to take you seriously if you deny EASILY VERIFIABLE FACTS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews_in_Israel#:~:text=Mizrahi%20Jews%20constitute%20one%20of,as%20either%20Mizrahi%20or%20Sephardic.

That’s the problem with the pro-Palestine movement. It’s built on vibes and propaganda and zero actual knowledge of the region, its people, or its history.

Also, Israel has had plenty of Mizrahi people in positions of power. Including an Iranian president. And the Mizrahi population of Israel is in fact significantly more right wing and supportive of Netanyahu than the Ashkenazi population. Because they’ve had the unique joy of living as minorities in Muslim majority countries. How do you think that went?


They are doing this very purposefully. That's why they're targeting college students to bring on board.


What a crock of shit.

I was in college at the time Iraq war propaganda - the college students were right then, as they are right now. This is fact.

Zionists always want to paint it as a "young, naive kid" issue - but the college kid are far more in touch and informed than some zionist special interest sellouts.


I'm not a zionist. I have a college kid who's involved in one of the pro-Palestinain groups. They are being brainwashed. It's very distrubring.


Sure :roll:

My kid faces “day of dialogue” twice a year in high school. The past 8 times it has been about antisemitism lead by some Jewish group. All the kid call it “day of indoctrination”. The Zionist are out of control in this country. There are so many other issues to have a day of dialogue about how it is antisemitic if you do not get on your knees before the state of Israel.


Zero chance you are a native born American.


I am, and that eye roll speaks for me. Your view of the world is on borrowed time, because the younger generations are trending to a view of the world that rejects the warmongering, white phosphorous using, genocidal current state of Israel.


Sure.


“We’re invincible!”

But also, “we scared of our shadows and mean words about Israel!”

“Krav Maga something something, the IDF are the best fighting force in the world, and we invented everything!”

But also, “They prevented me from disrupting their protest by walking through the middle of it, and made me walk an extra 11 feet to a class I’m not even enrolled in!”

Exhausting …


Refusing to buy a Soda Stream is like spray painting swastikas on a synagogue.


Spray painting swastikas on a synagogue is like burning down a black curch.


No it's not. Why do Jews get so upset about dumb things like that? It's just some jerk with a can of paint.


Oppression Olympics.

I also love the a—hole upthread thinking that Israelis and American Jews are tough. No. The former are supports of a genocidal regime that they can’t enact without massive support.


This is typical antizionist racism.


Zionism is inherently racist. If you value Israeli lives the same as all other humans and believe they deserve to be treated equally and fairly, then you're anti Zionist


You have a deluded definition of anti-Zionist. The people here who claim to be anti-Zionist don’t value Jewish lives at all.


So anti-zionist Jews don't support Jewish lives at all?

Why does a secular socio-political philosophy mean that's the only way you can value Jewish lives?

Zionism requires genocide, aparthied, and oppression.

It is Jewish supremacy over a land populated by non Jewish people. To establish and maintain it they've had to commit genocide, aparthied, and oppression on the non Jewish native population.

And they need to continue to do so to maintain it as a zionist state. It's why they refuse Palestinians the right of return but advertise, encourage, and facilitate it for Jewish people from other countries.

Imagine 50% of the Jewish population in Israel converted to Islam or Christianity overnight a zionist state is required to oppress those people to maintain Jewish supremacy

Please stop with the stupid posting.

I supported Israel for decades. But now I do not support the Israeli government. The Israeli government is are committing genocide. I support Israel's right to exist peacefully, if that were possible.

I think this Iran war is all about billionaires wanting to become trillionnaires. War is very lucrative.

I dunno. Pepsi owns sodastream now. I'm not sure from this article if sodastream is still using underpaid Palestinian labor.

Excerpt:

Despite claims of employing both Israeli and Palestinian workers, critics argue that profiting from operations in occupied land normalizes and economically supports territorial expansion. In response to pressure, SodaStream closed its West Bank facility in 2015 and relocated production to Lehavim, Israel. However, the legacy of its presence continues to influence consumer perception, especially among those supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
