- ars 9y agoYour comment proves my point. Israel is not apartheid at all, the only reason people say that is anti-Semitism. So thank you for proving my point.

- maxxxxx 9y agoYou are not helping your case with these statements.
- bootlooped 9y agoThe only point you're proving is that people claim anti-Semitism way more often than is appropriate.
- geek22 9y agoA boycott can be justified if it applies on specific brands, or specific products, or specific ingredients... When it applies on every products based only on their origin, it's ludicrous. When it applies on every products from a democratic country where people just want to live of their production without political interest, it's stupid. When it applies on every products from Israel based on apartheid allegations shouted by BDS, whereas it doesn't apply also on every products of Syria, Iran, Tchechenia... it's antisemitism
- zzalpha 9y agoNo the most you can say is it's anti-Israel. Imputing racist motives on those holding those views cannot be justified based purely on those actions. The reality is you're projecting your own political views on the motives of others, in such a way that it leaves Israel immune from any and all criticism. It's anti-intellectual and frankly dangerous.
