Thread Name: BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.'
Subject: RE: BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.'
Israel has become a huge militocracy, a chief exporter of weapons systems, a repressive regime to Palestinians who are second class citizens in that country. The idea that they
offer any olive branch at all is entirely risible. BDS represents a non-violent approach to the problem.

The ridiculous notion that israel has given Gaza money and aid is belied by the current situation which is that only if Palestinians give up any hope for a two-state solution and succumb to the dictatorship of the Israeli government, then the Israeli government can declare a bogus "peace". It's been unfortunate that the Palestinian reaction has been to
throw rocks and meager rockets at an army of tanks, phosphorous bombs, bulldozers, weapons of mass destruction and an oppressive military operation, since the only solution, which is one offered by BDS which makes it credible in the world is a non-violent one in addition to the various international aid ships attempting to reach Gaza with needed medical supplies.

BDS is about actually helping Israel to survive rather than become a pariah to the international community. But hard-liners of the militocracy seem unable to grasp this fact.

In short, Israel is shooting itself in the foot.
