6. The same? Of course not.

But worthy of opposition nevertheless. A few reasons:

* - It's an astroturf tactic of the BDS movement
* - Quite a few of those products are made by Palestinian employees who benefit directly from the employment.
* - Even in a two-state solution, most peace proposals assume that large portions of Area C settlements will be part of Israel. How do consumers differentiate between areas that are truly "occupied" and those that will remain under permanent Israeli control?

The Illegality of all Israeli Settlements Little Tich May 2016 #12

Adalah is a joke. We went over that already with their fictitious list of 50 discriminatory laws... shira May 2016 #16

You never convinced me with your weak arguments about Adalah's list. Little Tich May 2016 #19

Adalah's claims would make the Gregorian Calendar & Scandinavian flags discriminatory.... shira May 2016 #24

I think that it would be more inclusive to include official references to Israel's Arab heritage and Little Tich May 2016 #49

The Christian Gregorian Calendar is not discriminatory, nor are Scandinavian flags.... shira May 2016 #50

Was that supposed to be responsive? FBaggins May 2016 #42
