None of this addresses what is actually happening in Israel and what has always happened and it is to the shame of people who consistently defend Israel that they refuse to address facts and instead concentrate on the claimed "aims" of organisations like B.D.S. (this includes Joe, who so far has refused to respond to one single link that has been put up - not even to dismiss them as lies, as is the standard ploy)
The loss of land, the number of refugees, the destruction of homes, hospitals, schools..... and the number of civilians slaughtered by a well armed, well trained army, speak far louder than any hypothetical policies ever can
The plainest indication of who is the victim and who the perpetrator lies in the number of U.S. vetoes that have been necessary to keep Israel out of the International courts - without them, Israel would have been tried and found either guilty or not guilty of what they are accused of
Instead of facing trial, Israel has demanded the dismantling of these Courts   
That says all that needs to be said about the possibly outcome of any trial that should take place
