Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

I maintain Eric has demonstrated a sort of low cunning in avoiding the spotlight, unlike his older limelight-seeking brother.

Either that or he's just really dumber than a sack of hammers and can't put together the wherewithal to publicly embarrass himself as readily as Junior.

this; to not be a total shitposter, BDS is essentially the only viable peaceful pressure that individuals/groups/most countries can take to try and get Israel to knock off its nastiness. BDS-aligned demands are pretty reasonable, as well.

I could have phrased that better i guess.

I'm cool with BDS and find the idea of it being considered illegal stupid. My concern comes more from lacking the proper lingustic framework/experience to talk about it properly re keeping the government of Israel very firmly separated from the jewish faith/people.

quote:

BOYCOTTS involve withdrawing support for Israel and Israeli and international companies that are involved in the violation of Palestinian human rights, as well as complicit Israeli sporting, cultural and academic institutions.

DIVESTMENT campaigns urge banks, local councils, churches, pension funds and universities to withdraw investments from all Israeli companies and from international companies involved in violating Palestinian rights.

SANCTIONS campaigns pressure governments to fulfil their legal obligation to hold Israel to account including by ending military trade, free-trade agreements and expelling Israel from international forums such as the UN and FIFA.

By their quick faq/mission statement, the targeting is pretty clearly not directed at the jewish faith and people.

Academic stuff: https://bdsmovement.net/academic-boycott

The cultural stuff is directed at Israel-government-funded events and organizations: https://bdsmovement.net/cultural-boycott

israel-aligned lobbyists and whatnot started screaming bloody murder the moment Netanyahu started making support for Israel into a partisan issue because he hated Obama / Obama chided Israel in the gentlest and most toothless way possible, because they realize that down that road lies the Democratic Party potentially actually doing something to inconvenience the apartheid state

i imagine they're not delighted with the whole Trump thing

Yeah, that'll do thanks.

It's on the list of things that I think are cool and good but since I don't know the proper arguments that supporters have for it i end up not feeling like it's something i, a vaguely white dude, needs to have a loud/vocal opinion on.

Coach Nagy, you want me to throw to WHAT side of the field?


Hair Elf
Back in the 90s, when there was significant progress towards a real peace deal, an Israeli right wing extremist assassinated the pro-peace Prime Minister (Rabin) and the right wing extremists proceeded to take the momentum of it to take over the government and run an insanely corrupt oligarchy by uniting the religious extremists with the extreme pro-business factions, modeled after the Moral Majority that the Republicans built from the 80s-10s.

Its really hosed up how much they got what they wanted by violently derailing the peace process, especially considering that Netanyahu was behind a ton of the rhetoric and propaganda that villanized Rabin, like photoshopping him into an SS uniform or the old classic of putting up pictures of his head in sniper crosshair. There is also a major belief that the Israeli FBI equivalent allowed it to happen, since a lot of the military was upset about giving up land they felt they had rightfully taken.


There was also a ton propaganda after the Israeli Army was sent in to remove illegal Israeli settlers from Gaza after they gave the territory back to the Palestinians.
