        @sapinker @HuffPostPol again, they should distinguish between zionists and Israelis. To target an entire country is absurd.

        @sapinker BDS tries to impose solution on a country in which democracy is thriving. Israelis agonize over Isr-Pal issues. Does BDS?

        @signsofrevolt @sapinker wrong. Article's about treatment of Palestinians. Again: Israelis of all religions get equal treatment.

        @sapinker @HuffPostPol To boycott, one must have something of value to withhold. Does the American Anthropological Association?

        @sapinker Because obviously, pressuring Israel to end the occupation is by definition anti-Semitic

        @sapinker The Anthros should be more concerned about ancient sites and artifacts destroyed by Palestinians seeking to erase Jewish history.

        @sapinker @HuffPostPol I have some sympathies with the boycott movement, but this sort of thing is wrong. Such boycotts oughta be targetted
