BDS campaign questions academics' courage : Comments

By Stuart Rees, published 21/1/2013

In the face of continuous human rights abuses affecting Palestinians, the time comes for citizens to find other ways to address these issues. The BDS movement provides one of the hopeful 'other ways'.

When are you all going to realise this is a problem without a solution.
The Jews are back after 2000 years.
They have nowhere to go.
The Arabs want them gone.
The Arabs are genetically unable to compromise.

The rest of us fed up with the Islamists, and have had enough of them.

As I said the Zionist mentality of born to rule is just like Lance Armstrong.Lance beat cancer and cheated his way to the top therefore in his mind he should be admired and rewarded.

This mentality existed in the Nazis and fascism in all countries around our planet.Our elites like to think that they have the superior genes and deserve to just take what they want.This is worst than law of the jungle because animals take what the need,while some humans want to take everything to have power over others.

With the perception that the planet is way too over populated we are all on the march to war fighting over resources and energy and Israel is one of the leaders in this charge.

Instead of attacking Iran,which was Israel's desire, Obama decided containing China's economic progress in Africa was more important.

The West just cannot continue printing money to support so many wars for much longer.Soon the $ will collapse and China's currency will be the leader.This is the greatest fear of the Western Oligarchs as the rest of the world sees that the West is stuffed.

Arjay:

Watch out mate, your antisemitism is showing badly with every one of your posts.

“As I said the Zionist mentality of born to rule”

That sentence says it all.

You see most Zionists aren’t Jews, so the ‘little old church going lady’ has a mentality of born to rule, does she?

David G:

Jake Lynch did a great thing for Professor Don Avnon. You see he wasn’t sent packing. Instead a superior faculty at UNSYD picked him up.

Lynch back stabbed himself.

You say “Anyone with half a brain and a modicum of education could, if they really wanted to, find out about the sixty years of horror the Palestinians have endured at the hands of the terror regime of Israel.”

Then I suggest you heed you own words

That is quite hilarious and shows you have little or no idea of the history of the region.

In 1948, when Egypt along with another 4 countries attacked the fledgling State of Israel, they took Gaza from the Arabs in situ.

In 1967, in a war Israel didn’t want or ask for, they took the area, as well as the Sinai Desert, from Egypt.

Jews and Arabs in Gaza co-existed peacefully until the formation of Hamas from the Muslim Brotherhood, well into the early 2000s. The situation reached fever pitch so much so Israel withdrew unilaterally in 2005.

Gaza has been completely independent since that time , so any horror, the non-existent so-called Palestinians have endured has been at their own hands.

Since 2005 terrorists have fired more than 8,000 rockets into Israel. Over one million Israelis are currently living under threat of rocket attacks.

In 2011 alone, 630 rockets from Gaza hit Israeli towns. That’s an even higher number than in 2010, when 231 rockets hit Israel. Since 2001, more than 12,800 rockets and mortars, an average of 3 attacks every single day, have landed in Israel.

I think it's the Israelis suffering not the Gazan Arabs, don't you?

As for 60 years, do your maths.

David G:

“Off with his head! Stone him until his skull is crushed… So say the Israeli-apologists”

You got your facts mixed up. Stoning, beheading, and some of the other colourful practices you describe are carried out by some Muslim societies in the Middle East, including the Palestinians (at least under Hamas). I don’t think they can be classified as supporters or apologists for Israel, they are far more likely to support your views.

“some races of people are entirely exempt from valid criticism while others are blamed for everything”

Does this explain your attitude, where you exclusively blame Israel for the conflict and claim the other side is blameless?

“The sooner Israel is neutralized the better it will be for the world”

Well said. You make righteous folks, such as Nasrallah, Meshaal and Ahmadinejad proud. Once Israel is neutralised, peace will surely come to the Middle East (if not the world), and the benevolent, democratic nature of the Palestinians in the form of Hamas will truly shine

Arjay:

General Patraeus resigned due to an affair, not sacked because of his love for Israel, just in case you didn’t know. And what do the Syrian rebels have to do with any of this? Is Assad really an Israeli agent? I’m sure you have a very interesting theory – please share it with us.

“An oil pipeline already links Iraq with Israel”

Really? Are you referring to the pipeline built early last century, during the time of the British Mandate, and abandoned since 1948? How much oil flows through this ancient pipeline nowadays, according to your conspiracy theory?

“Israel wants to attack [Iran] for reasons of Imperialistic greed”

This should be really good... Are they planning to build some settlements just outside Tehran?

“As I said the Zionist mentality of born to rule…”

You might have said this before, but that doesn’t make it true. What are you basing this claim on?

The problem is that these people are so blinded with the hate they are
indoctrinated with, they are unable to see the truth.

They need to use their own brains, if they have any, and research and read for themselves.

Avw, you have to realise that this Arjay character is an antisemite using the word Zionist as a replacement for Jew.

He says “Israel being so aggressive”

In his dreams is about the only place they are aggressive. Just last year alone when the rockets from Gaza were increasing daily, Israel sat on it. No other country on the word would have endured what Israel has endured and will again once Hamas has rearmed.
In 2012, 1,435 rockets fired from Gaza hit Israel
I can’t imagine any other country in the world sitting on its hands and letting that happen.
