What is BDS?
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.

May all people, who are oppressed by imperialist forces, be free one day. Tiocfaidh ar la

nice thread. I have heard horror stories about palestine and israel. I feel for them both.

Thanks, yes it is terrible to live under occupation while the world turns a blind eye to the horrors committed upon them by their occupiers..

This is how I see it and why I feel for both sides. I understand Israelis had been persecuted world wide and gone through the terrible nazi ordeal with no place to go. I understand the attempt by the nations to step in and GIVE them someplace, so to speak. I understand, that much like the Native Americans, that 'given' place as already occupied. I would not expect those kicked out of their home and suddenly occupied to take that lying down. I also understand the nationalism of being told a place 'belongs' to you can strip up a protective nature against the 'others' too.

I get that Israelis have come to accept it is 'their' land. I also understand the Palestinians coming to resent more and more that they were kicked out of 'their' home. I get why both sides do what they do, with the exception of killing of children, to either retain what is theirs, or to get back what WAS theirs. I do not know how either side does it. I can only empathize in the situation.

No doubt, the crimes against the Jews under Hitler are non excusable. But does this give Israel the right to treat the people of Palestine like dirt?

That IS the issue. And why I have no real stand as I do not live there to see if that is what is happening. The accounts I have heard from both sides who do give examples of how horrid each side can be. I mostly feel for the innocents and children being caught in the middle of what are a minority of those actually committing the violence.

It is like the same no matter who is on each side. Those who are innocent and just trying to make their way through life pay the biggest price. Conflict, be it ethnic, racial, or religious, can not be resolved until both sides are willing to find a mutually beneficial solution. Killing and mutual destruction benefits no one other than a few warring political leaders.

^^^^I knew it wouldn't take too long for you to come along with your Zionist propaganda..

Any criticism of the fascists and you pop up, your hatred knows no bounds..

You can try and use this thread to preach your hate..

I think people are wiser than you think though..

I am against racism in all it's forms, unlike you who is so clearly full of hate and blinded by your own bigotry...

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I guess that's why you started it...because you needed to try to bring other people in when your original thread has lost interest...the communists did the same thing with the counter-culture movement in the 60s...all that BLACK POWER was nothing more than RED POWER...but SHHHH that's actual history so we don't want to talk about that...stay with the fiction, it plays better...you see the modern left do the same thing when one of their prize movements stalls...they piggyback onto the next new wave of interest...just like how the #metoo movement got wrapped up by the Anti-Semantic Hate crowd...then they tried to separate themselves and couldn't.

I'll just start over here.

TRUE

You might want to learn about the history of a people before you invite them to be allies to your cause...that same thing hurt the #metoo movement.

Funny how the world hates the USA because it tries to step in on issues like this.
Perhaps the eye is blind because its been poked too many times?

This thread is not about hating on America, or their policies on Palestine but rather a place to voice solidarity with those suffering from racism from any quarter..

I remember telling people kneeling was not about hating America. People sometimes can only see the symbolism they believe in though. Not saying that is happening here at all. I just feel many things are oversimplified as either loving or hating America, instead of looking at the details on a case by case.
