It's never been about BDS. It's always been about maintaining the occupation. Don't believe me? 1 jpost.com/American-Polit…
Congress recently passed a resolution opposing the Global BDS Movement *and* expressing support for a two-state solution. 2
Today, twenty-one Knesset members wrote to Congress warning that a two-state solution is more dangerous to Israel than the BDS movement. In other words, they don't really care about BDS. 3
What they care about is making sure Palestinians never have their own state. 4
So please understand that while people are taking up the battle against the non-existent threat of BDS (it's not going to destroy Israel, it's a way for people to express their moral censure of the occupation), look at what they are not doing: fighting to end the occupation. 5
And look what the Israeli government is doing: entrenching the occupation. 6
Look, you want to fight BDS and signal you're a good "pro-Israel" American, go ahead, just don't act surprised when you finally wake up to the realization that Israel has imposed an apartheid regime on nearly 5 million Palestinians and you ran interference all these years. 7
Happy Monday.
