@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 @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 @rezaaslan @Remroum It helps change the perception, but does nothing to change the facts on the ground.
