@rezaaslan The anti-apartheid struggle wasn't "successful" by promoting shows in Sun City & undermining South Africans. @US_Campaign

@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@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 if that is true I still dont get why you think Dig is the right platform to do this -
@aptly_engineerd@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 Because of its plot, which unfortunately I can't share just yet. -
@aptly_engineerd@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 I'll give you a clue. Greatest obstacle to peace is right wing US evangelical support for Israel. - 8 more replies

@rezaaslan@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 When you look at the increase in celebrity/artist support, I think that's BDS, not Dig. -
@hyphy_republic@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 Hard to argue a handful of musicians not playing in Israel means anything in Middle America -
@rezaaslan@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 I think when the guy who plays the Hulk tweets#freepalestine it makes a difference, don't you? -
@hyphy_republic@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 It probably HURTS in Middle America actually. Most distrust celebrities as Hollywood liberals

@rezaaslan@Remroum@AdilRajaa1 More likely that Dig is made possible by 10 years of BDS influence. No one is saying it won't have an impactThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
