@terryb

I genuinely find it fascinating how people can sit idly by while hundreds of thousands of Syrians were killed by the Assad government, while millions in Africa die in terrible wars, while over ten million Uighur are oppressed and killed, while LGBTQ+ folks are sentenced to death (or worse) in many countries, but the only country they express their anger towards is Israel. The only country they express wanting to divest from is Israel.

There are no saints here, nor absolution of Israel for its actions, but I find the double standard of going to the school yard and picking on the smallest kid indicative that maybe it's not injustice that bothers them but (((something else))).

That goes even more so when it's not Israel they're after but "Israel adjacency". That's just antisemitism's 21st century costume.

And that doesn't even touch on BDS's domestic terrorist actions or terrorist links.

@gcvsa @hyc @Eetschrijver @rberger Respectfully disagree. The choice is to serve the will of the oligarchs interests, or that of the people’s diverse interests. The oligarchs serve the short term interests of profit taking no matter the costs of the consequences, so they finance the rape, sack, pillage and game Nations. Politics that serves those interests that are ethically sustainable recognise the value of diverse interests and their democratic rights. Democracy can be made stronger or weaker, stronger if the interests are balanced! Monopolies and the electoral bribery of politicians and the creation of populist and minority cults weakens it! #CultLeadersAreWeak #OligarchyIsHydra #BDS #DEI #GD2 #NegativeSumGames #NegativeSumEntropy #DRDI #PRI #BiosphereCollapse
