There is only ONE way to create justice and (possibly) Peace to Palestinians: The U.N., who put Israel in the ME in the first place, must NOW, in the light of Israel’s longtime criminal behaviour, remove Israel to somewhere else on our planet. And confiscate all Israeli nukes, bringing them under U.N. supervision.

I do realize that it could be difficult to find somewhere on Earth where Israel would be welcome. But how about Allan Levene’s suggestion: Somewhere in Texas, U.S.A. (Allan Levene is an American politician, running for state legislature in two different states; see “Congressional candidate’s two-state solution: A ‘New Israel’ in Texas” by Anthony Weiss (JTA, The Global Jewish News Service, April 25, 2014) http://www.jta.org/2014/04/25/news-opinion/the-telegraph/congressional-candidates-two-state-solution-a-new-israel-in-texas.

The irrational labeling of any action against Israel as ‘anti-Semitic’ has always, of course, been the default defence by Zionists.

Against BDS, though, I’ve noticed another mantra. BDS is an attempt to ‘delegitimise’ Israel, which it is nothing of the sort. The Zionists have always been expert at this kind of propaganda. Say a lie often enough and people will believe it. (Is it Goebbels I’m paraphrasing here?). They also refer to this delegitimisation in passing, as if it’s an accepted truth.

Avnery’s article, as always so readable, does make this point very strongly that boycotting all of Israeli produce, rather than just that of the settlements, has a rather counter-productive effect of driving the Israelis together. But blow it! Go for it! If we water it down now we may never get the chance to put pressure on them!

The pretence that criticism of “Jewish Israel” is antisemitic has already been enshrined in laws in France, Canada and now Obama has said it in the USA. Israel claims it is treated unlike “normal” countries, but it is actually overprotected and allowed to get away with murder and constant lies.
Alan’s suggestion needs to be taken seriously, but the warped thinking of so many world leaders, and the ignorance of many Christians makes it unlikely.

Although I entirely agree with Rehmat’s sentiments, BDS is nevertheless an equally important measure to get people throughout the world not to remain indifferent to Israel’s obscene crimes/excesses, and is a step in the right direction that will give it the well-deserved status of a pariah state. Actually, apart from reliance on exaggerated myths, the continued survival of the state of Israel hinges too on fear mongering of bogus or imaginary threats, without which it will fade out of existence.

Dear Hart – I tends to agree with American Jewish writer and author Steve Lendman who has repeatedly insisted that Obama administration is not sincere in resolving its imaginary ‘nuclear threat’ with the Islamic Republic of Iran. He insists that even if the US ever signed a deal with Iran – sooner or later, Washington will find some stupid reason to break it blaming Tehran for not obeying the “agreement spirit”.

Netanyahu, as usual is lying about the BDS movement “existential threat” also. If one read the “revised manifesto” of BDS, he will find that in fact, BDS legitimizes Jewish occupation of historic Palestine aka Israel.

BDS is not against the Jewish occupation of 78% of the historic Palestine. BDS uses the word “occupation” for the West Bank and Gaza Strip but not even for East Jerusalem which all were occupied by Israel as result of its 1967 War of Aggression. The BDS demands from Israel; 1) Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands occupied in June 1967 and dismantling the wall, 2) Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality (meaning Israel has the right to exist within pre-1967 borders); and 3) Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194.
