With BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions), its never boring. Although formed initially to mount pressure on Israel, increasingly BDS campaigns are now, bit by bit, focusing on silencing any pro-Palestinian voice with an IQ over 90.
For the BDS leadership, intellect is a threat - and they may be right.
For a year now, we have noted BDS repeated assaults on leading activists and intellects such as Ken OKeefe, Prof. Norman Finkelstein, Alison Weir, Greta Berlin, Daniel Barenboim, yours truly and many others. But this weekend, the BDS found a new potential punch-bag: British MP George Galloway.
On Wednesday, MP Galloway walked out of a debate at Christ Church, Oxford. Galloway was upset to find that he was about to be in debate with an Israeli. "I was misinformed" he said. "I don't debate with Israelis. I don't recognise Israel." Galloway later wrote on Twitter "No recognition, No normalisation. Just Boycott, divestment, sanctions."

(90,061 posts)Reminds me or the old Commie power struggles. All these people worried about "their position" and whether it is being represented "accurately", like nobody can see what you do and figure out what you want, like getting into pissing contests with other wannabe bigshots in "the movement" actually serves "the movement".
