You're shooting the messenger. GP describes what BDS is about, without taking a stance.
It's undeniable that there are people who boycott anything that comes from the Israel because they think that doing so helps the Palestinian cause. Nothing in GP's comment shows that they're one of those people.
Finally I'm not convinced that calling for boycotts of products from a country immediately implies contempt for the races or religions of the inhabitants of that country.
- throwawaymanbot 8y agoThis BDS thing came from the Anti-Apartheid movement who used to get Musicians to boycott playing South Africa and boycotting South African goods to as a non violent means to affect change. It eventually worked.
