In Response to: Divestment Debate

The boycott-divestment-sanctions actors are attempting to punish Israel for having the effrontery of having survived 67 years of continual attempts to annihilate it and its citizens. Hamas fires its rockets, stores its munitions, and places command centers deliberately among civilian sites and populations to generate photogenic “atrocities.” The average Arab has far more freedom in Israel than in any Arab country. Do not pretend that ignoring all of the massive atrocities in all of so many Near Eastern countries but focusing exclusively on the results of Israel defending itself is anything other than rank anti-Semitism. J’accuse!
