Subject: RE: BS: Trump Station in Old Jerusalem
"Calling a Democratically elected government a 'regime' "
Israel's behaviour earned it the title "regime" long before BDS
I read somewhere that the Nazis were elected democratically
BDS stands alongside the Anti Apartheid Movement and the opposition to what was happening in Vietnam as opponents to the behavior of "democratically elected governments"
The fact that the man found responsible for the Sabra Shatila massacre (by the Israeli enquiry, among others) went on to become Prime Minister of Israel shows exactly how reliable elected governments are as a guide to democracy
