  • Of course borders in Africa are a clusterfuck. Remember that the borders in the Middle East are also a bit whack. The border at the Jordan river separates majority Palestinian populations on both sides. The border between Syria and Israel separates the Druze. The Kurds don’t have a state at all.

    You are talking about the 1947 partition plan. That plan meant nobody would have to leave their land and a minority of the other side would live in the Jewish and Arab state respectively. Zionists accepted the plan, the Arabs rejected it.

    I was talking about the population today. Two states with minorities are still possible. Same as you want in Africa.





  • One issue with BDS is they also support the boycott of Israeli-Palestinian grassroots peace initiatives. BDS demands boycott of all Israelis and Israel related people. That means dialogue, building bridges, personal connections, and so on is being opposed. Boycotting everything Israel also harms Palestinians. BDS also means boycotting Israeli artists, that are critical of the government as well.

    Norman Finkelstein also doesn’t support BDS. Even though he‘s very critical of Israel‘s policies.

    So consider this before you blindly support BDS. If you hate Israel and want to see it destroyed, sure go ahead. If you want peaceful coexistence, BDS is not the way.
