Israel/Palestine

BDS is not "pro-Hamas", its just that they recognize that it's not possible to get rid of Hamas and that that faction has to be engaged or negotiated with somehow if any peace agreement is to mean anything.

And posters here have accused BDS of staging the pig head attack themselves, which is a despicable lie. They condemned that attack, and from what I can see, they are basically being demonized because they didn't use exactly the right words in condemning it.

And BDS itself isn't going to be part of any negotiations themselves, so what difference does it make if they support "Israel's existence" or not?

It's not as though there is any possible good that could come of crushing BDS, either.

I see BDS as basically a group of good-hearted idealists. Most of them, IMHO, would probably back a two-state solution if it weren't for the fact that they have no real reason to believe the Israeli government supports that(instead, Netanyahu's perpetual settlement expansions and his insistence of leaving the IDF in the Jordan valley for the rest of eternity-a proposal which would guarantee that a Palestinian state could never survive-and people in the furthest right-wing reaches of his coalition have actually tried to revive the discredited and inherently unjust "federation with Jordan" proposal-a proposal that would leave Palestinians in the West Bank even more powerless and devoid of hope than they are now) and that most of them started as two-state supporters before Israeli intransigence led them to the conclusion that a two-state solution would never be possible.

The best counter-attack "pro-Israel" people could do against BDS would be to call for the Israeli government to actually get serious about the pressing need to let Palestinians have a real state and the breathing space to create a life for themselves.
Since there's nothing to be said for "staying the course" in the West Bank, and since there's no chance that staying that course will ever lead to a different and BETTER Palestinian leadership, there's no reason not to.
