Wiki source describing BDS.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott,_Divestment_and_Sanctions
I support the right of people who support Palestine, to exercise their basic human right to speech by boycotting.
I am wondering if someone can explain to me what someone who supports a 1 or 2 state solution, to end Palestinean suffering is expected to do.
You aren't supposed to pick up arms.
You aren't supposed to boycott, or protest.
It appears to me that those that want to silence BDS, want to skip past the right of people to engage in non-violent political action, and skip to the part about how they disagree with the purpose of said non-violent political action.
The whole attack on BDS seems to me to be a giant ad hominem attack.
That the issue isn't anyone's right to non-violent political action, but that the purpose of that action is illegitimate in their view, which means their basic human right to speech is void.
