I'm not #BDS but I admit I enjoy the sheer terror it unleashes among America's Liberal Zionists.

@rezaaslan Interesting, thank you. I hope you write a piece expounding on your views. I respectfully disagree.
@veganforareason I don't support blanket sanctions on Iran, Cuba, or Israel for simple reason: they don't work. Only targeted sanctions do

@rezaaslan@veganforareason they worked for South Africa -
@SandraHelena39@veganforareason they were voluntary and targeted at companies not state in S Africa -
@rezaaslan@veganforareason there was a cultural boycott, a sport boycott, an academic boycott just as much as an economic boycott -
@SandraHelena39@veganforareason you were comparing sanctions against Iran/Cuba to S Africa. My point: the latter voluntary not legal -
@rezaaslan Also untrue. Comprehensive Anti-Aparthied Act of 1986 was compulsory.@SandraHelena39@veganforareason -
@rezaaslan UNSC arms embargo. UN even maintained blacklist of performrs violating cultural boycott of S.A.@SandraHelena39@veganforareason

@rezaaslan There are many kinds of sanctions. Iran, Cuba sanctions diff. from S. Africa. Can't lump all together & judge.@veganforareason -
Exactly. Sanctions agains S. Africa were useful. Sanctions against Iran are actively harmful.

@NYCJulieNYC@Phan_N@veganforareason sanctions against South Africa were voluntary in US not legally enforced -

@rezaaslan@veganforareason BDS doesn't comprise a blanket sanction. Also, it works in many ways, depending on how one defines the verb.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
