Israel/Palestine thread - Page 924 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Divestment movement had mixed support at best in South Africa and empirical evidence suggests it did very little in moving share prices and capital raises in SA.

The political isolation of the apartheid regime was much more important. It helped convince the Boors that the whole world was against them and they needed to give up their peculiar experiment. Similarly, Israel depends on its "special" relationship to the facts, which is eroded by the BDS campaign. It isn't about the money.

Quote:

BDS is honestly a caricature of libtards willing to fight to the last drop of other people’s blood while they protest knowing there is a safe and comfortable home for them to return to.

Both the South Africans and Palestinians say it helps. There's a reason Zionists are going ape **** about it.

Many Palestinians group are terrorist ….
It’s not only one side .
Both have made terrible acts and elected terrible politics .
I’m siding with no one on this .

So again being Israel manifesting or Palestinian it make no differences to me .
They should just stop bringing their problems to our doors until they actually to do something to reseller their issues .

The way it is now , how can any countries side with any of them being so extreme?

(Whether that works or not and whether any possible resulting peace efforts by Israel work or not - like I said - are separate considerations. It's pressure that is felt by Israel regardless.)

Might work in the U.S. but I promise you the money Canada send to Israel has absolutely no influence on moving the needle in this conflict .
Btw demanding any western country to side with Hamas is ludicrous .

As long those groups have influence how the f can we agree about them .

Again they have both major issue to solve between them because they will do w.e they want with the idiots they put in political power .

--Even if you think this person is being a provocateur for attempting to exercise his 1st amendment rights on public property, there is nothing "nonviolent" about this mob action. And again, the state is condoning this activity. I dont see how this isn't a giant legal issue. So much for Microbet's thesis everything will be fine and everyone will get along as long as the police stay out of it.

IMHO those Vietnam protest directly affects many Americans life issues, not sure we speak the same stuff in this situation.

Kinda bummed the police are cleaning up the Columbia resistance fighters who liberated the campus and barricaded themselves in. Kind of wanted to see that one marinate a little bit to see how things play out. Although I guess by pressing so deep into enemy territory so fast the resistance fighters lost contact with supply lines and were undersupplied to withstand the siege.

They were a little confused by the revolution in action. Up till now, they'd only dealt with it in theory.

Grizy the people who actually know, like Nelson Mandela, said divestment was important.

You must be hoping for some really heavy charges for the Israeli boxer who spat on people and the people who dumped mice everywhere.
