The original refugees, all their descendants, and any random person who just so happens to be hanging out in their general area?

Does BDS accept the right for a Jewish state to exist in the mideast, yes or no?

No, it doesn't, but you already knew that.

I don't think it is reasonable to assume a nation-state must be entirely multicultural and divorced from any historical, cultural, religious or ethnic focus. Most states are not. Requiring Israel to be so seems highly impractical.

That's a great argument for genocide.

Like the kind BDS whitewashes of middle eastern Jews from all nations but Israel?

This sentence is a doozy but yes Jews have faced persecution and repression in middle eastern states. That's not a point of contention.

If Israelis do not like how the BDS movement is impacting their economy, they are free to pursue policies that won't make them the target of international boycotts.
