@rezaaslan BDS + other tactics do move things forward. Violations of international law never helps. That's the simple truth. @US_Campaign

@rezaaslan I absolutely know my history, do you? Divestment across campuses, boycotts & sanctions@US_Campaignpic.twitter.com/SSdML9vwyK

I do not support BDS for same reason I don't support blanket sanctions on Iran, Cuba, etc.

@rezaaslan@Remroum@US_Campaign Iranian sanctions are a tool of US imperialism... terrible analogy, no basis in reality. -
@AdilRajaa1@Remroum@US_Campaign Iran sanctions are a means to use economic punishment to change govt behavior. Same w/ Cuba. Same Israel. -
@rezaaslan Huge difference between a people's boycott (call by the occupied) & a Gov't trying to punish into submission@AdilRajaa1 -
@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 Which is why BDS is effective in pressuring Israel but not changing American minds. Anyway, that's all I have to say -
@rezaaslan No, it is precisely because it is *activating* Americans that Israel is scared. From artists to divestment.@AdilRajaa1 -
@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 look at the polls of American support for Israel and get back to me. if those polls don't change nothing happens Remi -
@rezaaslan We don't disagree that perception needs to change. You're an academic. Going from 5 to 125 SJP chapters matters.@AdilRajaa1 -
@rezaaslan Church divestment, pension divestment, academic associations. Starts convos gets more people onboard.@AdilRajaa1 - 12 more replies

@rezaaslan@Remroum@US_Campaign So if you're not supporting Palestinians unanimous call to BDS... then whose cause are you supporting? -
@AdilRajaa1@Remroum@US_Campaign There is UNANIMOUS call for BDS among Palestinians. Not even close. My sole job is to change minds in US -
@rezaaslan@Remroum@US_Campaign NEAR UNANIMOUS. And, yes, there absolutely is. What planet are you living on?
