Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: Who’s Really Driving “Grassroots” Anti-Israel Activism (BDS) in America? [View all]procon
(15,805 posts)Accusing ones adversaries of ones own sins is an old propaganda trick, but people criticise Israel, and a lot of other offensive state actors, because their governments do bad, inhuman, stupid, evil shit. Israel is not immune to censure and denunciation because their policies of occupation, discrimination and destruction, are the antithesis of civil societies around the world. Israel has justly earned their worldwide condemnation for persisting in the apartheid practice of state sponsored racism and ethnic oppression against the Palestinians..
Looking at the article you linked to, there is no corroboration to validate any of the allegations made by the pro-Israel writers, which seems intent on trying to tar BDS supporters in America as terrorists. The article tries to portray American students who lobby their universities to divest from Israel as terrorists. In their fanaticism, they make a lot of unsourced conjectures and unsubstantiated claimed to manufacture another hackneyed attempt to build a case for their confirmation bias against Americans, and the people of Palestine trapped under Israel's oppressive military occupation.
