Israel/Palestine

(50,254 posts)And remember, BDS is not going to be a party to any negotiations, so they can't actually impose anything on anyone.
They are nonviolently protesting the injustices done to Palestinians.
I'm not sure anyone could still do that within all the constraints YOU want to impose on dissent on that subject.
And the right to a homeland for the world's Jewish communites is covered, to my mind, by the right to the pre-1967 state, with that state allowed to live in peace.
Why should it HAVE to include "Judea and Samaria" other than repatriating the pre-1967 Jewish population)when those areas have had an Arab majority for 1400 years? Why is asserting the right to live in THAT specific area more important than creating the conditions in which Israel COULD live in peace with the countries around it? And why is it worth life nearly intolerable for everyone else who lives there?
