    BDS has a number of loons in their ranks. Seeing as you did not run to Simone O'Broin's defense, I presume you concede that point.

    I've no idea about their "loon" count. This person obviously has issues.

    Why? Surely you can articulate your position?

    You made a statement, I'm asking you to explain it. That's how discussion works. Why are you "ambivalent" about a non-violent movement?

    Congressman Peter King (R-NY) pressuring FF to withdraw its support for the bill banning Irish trade with the Israeli settlements. King spoke to Niall Collins TD about it but so far failed to change his mind.

    There are also reports that the notorious Israel Anti Boycott Act, which would impose fines and up to 20 years (!) in prison for supporting a boycott of Israel, may pass Congress during the lameduck session (between the just finished midterms and the new Congress meeting in January).

    hmmm I wonder if they'll start to try non-Americans in absentia and use overt threats or misuse of interpol (ala the Russians) to have people extradited to US/Israel?

    You support paranoia being enshrined into law by a legislature? The pro-Israeli lobby gets ever more weird..........

    wouldn't surprise me tbh. the good news however is that it won't work and the boycott will continue, it will grow, and it will succeed. no matter how long it takes, the aims will ultimately be achieved.

    I would point out that anti BDS laws in Arizona were struck down on First Amendment Grounds. We'll see how this stands up.

    Are there any websites with information on the BDS program. Products, companies etc that should be boycotted?

    I’ve always said… let Israel open up gaza and give back the lands in the West Bank. When all hell breaks loose from there. They will be able to once and for all wipe them off the face of the earth.

    Just seems to me that you're actually advocating genocide here.

    Just as a matter of interest - why are you advocating genocide?

    Did BDS release a statement on the behavior of Simone O’Broin and her drunken racist rant on board a flight that led to her arrest?

    Why not send them a strongly worded email?

    why would they? it's irrelevant to the movement and it's work. it's a matter between her and the relevant authorities.

    After today's massacre, over 55 dead so far. Absolutely no regard for Palestinians basic human rights. What is the end game? Tomorrow marks the 70th anniversary of the Nakba and things are only getting worse. Events in the occupied territories are worse than anything endured in apartheid south Africa. They need support from the ground up from all people as the political will is not there.

    Worse than South Africa? How ?

    What about the other oppressed people of the world? The rathigans in Burma? Muslims in China? Held in internment camps? Because they are Muslims? Russians in the Baltic republic's? War in yemem
    The Congo?? The Kurds
    Anti semitism !
    That's not to deny the Palestinians don't have a case but God almighty their fellow believers could have easily granted them citizenship if it wasn't a handy distraction from the rampant corruption in their own lands.

    the palestinians are living on their land. the land where they are entitled to live, yet israel keeps stealing slowly but surely.
