Ilan Pappe admits that BDS was not initiated by a “call” from Palestinian Civil Society

37. It doesn't need to treat Palestinians and its own Arab minority as it currently treats them

to achieve that end. It's not as though this "majority culture" can only be expressed if the Occupation goes on and the settlements keep getting expanded(as it is now, there isn't enough contiguous territory left in the West Bank for a Palestinian state to survive).

It was European Christians who persecuted the Jews and North American Christians who barred them from sanctuary in the hour of need-Not Palestinian Arabs.

There has to be a two-state solution and that can only be achieved if all the settlements are removed from the West Bank and, at the very least, if the relentless collective punishment of all Palestinians is significantly scaled back. It's simply not reasonable to take one nation to take one other nation's land and most of its sovereignty away and then expect the second nation to see the first nation as "the REAL victims". Why is that so hard to accept.

It's been fifteen years now of the unrelenting Netanyahu iron fist. If fifteen years of that hasn't changed Palestinians to Netanyahu's liking, how can Netanyahu and those here who defend him think that another five, ten, fifteen or twenty years of the same can possibly lead to anything else but what is has led to?

I'd suggest reviewing the definition of insanity for insight on this.
