BDS is an existential threat because it threatens to popularize the truth that Israel is an apartheid state. Proponents of the occupation will cite the end of apartheid South Africa as a worst case scenario. Hamas is less so for the inverse reason that the violent opposition (as long as it’s manageable violence) provides reason for the occupation to continue
It’s crazy how the US has laws prohibiting the boycott of a foreign country’s products but not domestic products. If people can’t see that Palestinians are the ones with no power and every right to fight back, then I’m feeling hopeless.
It’s literally how sanctions work lol. Like who do they think will be affected when the US prohibits business with China?
I'm convinced people, for the most part, really don't understand the situation. When laid bare, it's clear that Palestinians have every right to self defense in this situation. The strike was self defense. They have a right to rebel against their oppressors
It has to already be popularized/ing, I remember most of life loosely only hearing Israel's side of the story (and almost no story at all, too). Now it's like everybody cares and has opinions.
