@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

@Remroum @AdilRajaa1 It gets people already leaning to our views on board. My job is to use TV to get the other side on board. understand?

@rezaaslan Not trying to starve people, but shift a power imbalance, which Israel has said is have a strong effect @AdilRajaa1 @US_Campaign

@Remroum @rezaaslan @US_Campaign I want to know whether Reza supported the Boycott against South Africa.

@AdilRajaa1 @Remroum @US_Campaign I supported economic boycott to pressure policy change, not cultural boycott that impeded perception shift

@rezaaslan @Remroum @US_Campaign Because, you just compared economic boycott below to sanctions, which you "disagree with"

@AdilRajaa1 @Remroum @US_Campaign I don't understand what you mean

@rezaaslan @Remroum @US_Campaign I ask for clarification, if you supported economic boycott of the Israel... but didn't reply.

@AdilRajaa1 @Remroum @US_Campaign I support boycott of all individuals/companies directly profiting from occupation
