Jewish Federation in Florida calls on grocers to stop carrying Ben & Jerry's products

32. So do I. I want us to do everything we honorably can to help Israeli liberals,

of all religions and power blocs, overthrow government domination by Israel's conservative "trumpist" types. Nations aren't bad -- but some people in every nation will always abuse others if they can, and when very bad things happen to hapless people you know they've gotten control.

Many well-meaning ignorant people mistakenly believe BDM is a moral movement; but it's actually heavily fueled and weaponized by both antisemites and anti-Israel interests. Muslims and Jews in Palestine should all have the same rights and opportunities. But too many BDM pushers don't want that, and many openly advocate against a two-state solution -- they want Israel erased.

I've been disgusted a number of times by ardent BDMers who couldn't discuss even one of the tragically oppressed peoples in virtually every other nation in the ME, much less with even a fraction of outrage reserved for Israel alone. There are movements trying to help all those millions of people, so why don't these people know it and even join one?

“I don’t have a reaction to offer regarding the actions of a private company. More broadly what I would say is that we firmly reject the BDS movement, which unfairly singles out Israel.” Our State Department's position.

Yes, but I'd prefer they aso explained WHY it singles out Israel.
