Why our boycott campaign against Israel makes sense #BDS

[geared]

Yes the IS have killed thousands of folk who got in their way in Syria.

 

and the several thousand people they are currently starving to death up in the mountains of Iraq.

Just out of curiosity, what's going on in the West Bank at the moment? Don't Palestinians live there too?

 

They currently aren't shooting a bunch of rockets across the boarder, so there is less military action as a result.

This thread is about boycotting Israel; ISIS doing dreadful things doesn't lessen the dreadfulness of what Israel is doing.

Or do you think it does? If so please explain how.

 

The thread is about the boycott, but those supporting it are either ignorant to what is going on in the rest of the world, or they just choose to ignore it and concentrate on hating Israel.

 

How attempting to bankrupt an Israeli potato farmer and stopping atrocities in the Gaza strip are connected I do not know.

 

Are Hamas rockets and Israeli shells both funded by sales of fruit and veg from Israel??

What ever happened to those 300 girls kidnapped by the Islamists in Nigeria?

 

Surely we should be finding stuff to boycott.

Let's give you some less hysterical sources..

Gaza voted in Hamas and then started to fire rockets at Israel. If you poke a bear with a sharp stick it'll wake up and do someting nasty to you.

 

If you leave the bear alone - it'll leave you alone. I'm sorry to say but Hamas and Gaza have brought this on themselves. Now while I think the Israelis are being a little heavy handed, Gazans has no-one to blame but themselves.

[Clown Shoes]

Each year, 2.6 million children die as a result of hunger-related causes.

 

300 Palestinian children have been killed as a result of the fighting in Gaza. A terrible tragedy but a drop in the ocean compared to whats happening all over the globe.

 

I guess its easier to point the finger at Israel though.

 

Although Hamas has fired 1000's of rockets at Israel, it seems that they are just better equipped at defending themselves. Not a bad idea as they are surrounded by countries who would like to see them 'wiped off the map'

 

I guess the Jews learnt their lesson after 1000's of years of persecution, slavery and 6,000,000,000 of them being executed between 1939-1945.

 

Its amazing what people choose to forget.

Other than the fact that Israel is defending its self from Isis, Hamas and other terrorist group that are attacking Israel from Gaza.

Is horror meted out in response to terror somehow less horrible?

Does a child not bleed out and die regardless of what motivates its killers?

How does this relate to Israel's killings in Gaza?

If has you claim they are in prison, why do they get to vote in the people that run it? Why don't they use the tunnels they constructed to escape instead of using them to bring in weapons?

How would you stop Isis, Hamas and other terrorists from firing rockets into Israel?
