Boycotts and antisemitism

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

Pompeo has tried to arbitrarily declare support for any sort of boycott against Israel to be "antisemitic."

That is bullshit, of course.

I support the boycott started by Gush Shalom, the Israeli campaign for peace between Israel and Palestine. This boycott targets products of Israel's colonies in Palestinian territory, whose existence violates UN treaties Israel has signed. According to Pompeo, I am supposedly antisemitic, and so was Uri Avnery, the great Israeli supporter of peace, who founded Gush Shalom and started that boycott.

Israel passed a law exposing anyone who advocated the boycott to lawsuits for unlimited damages, so people in Israel had to stop advocating the boycott. I in the US am safe from that law, so I continue.
