@ChMadar i'm just hung up on the difficulty of changing ppl's minds in US. BDS in my limited experience tends to reenforce their prejudices -
@EamonMurphy1 My experience: the Park Slope Coop#BDS drive forced conversations that otherwise wouldn't have happened–>ppl better informed. -
@ChMadar yeah i can see that happening. the ppl i'm thinking of might be hopeless cases, & not everyone needs to be convinced -
@EamonMurphy1 Yes–I agree completely. Not everyone in US was convinced about South Africa either btw. They can get bent.
