Spanish Reggae festival boots Jewish performer

43. That gets at the heart of a weird BDS thing:

They do seem to be aggressively angry with Israeli universities and artists/performers: BDS news most commonly involves protests against touring Israeli artists (or in this case, random American Jewish guy) or else a call from some American university for some Israeli university and its scientists to be made academically non grata.

Why go after artists and scientists?? Artists typically are the people most likely to dream a new world and unite people across boundaries; scientists and thinkers have common cause with others in their fields all over the world, with politics utterly immaterial. Neither group has anything to do with Israeli government policies.

I admit to not getting this rabid BDS stuff and finding it a little backward. Reminds me of hate-filled people smashing Buddha statues in Afghanistan because, (insert caveman noise), "Is God of my enemy! Is evil! Must destroy! Ogg!"
