Israel Boycott Hypocritical, Supports Terrorism, Oppression
The news that astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is supporting the boycott against Israel shows that he — like a lot of other academics and political elites — is very intelligent but lacking in common sense and a solid grasp of reality.
The leaders of both Palestine entities support terrorism, suppress freedom of speech and religion, deny basic human rights to women and gays and assert that their perverted interpretation gives them the right and obligation to kill, maim and mutilate innocent people in their attempts.
Yes, Palestinian people live under harsh conditions but only their leadership can change that.A hand of peace will go a lot father toward that than another barrage of rockets.
But that won’t change as long as both Gaza and the West Bank are run by totalitarian Islamist fanatics who will settle for nothing less than the deaths of all Israelis … and indeed everyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Supporting a boycott against Israel without recognizing the evils that fester in Palestine is simply hypocritical, based on a flawed view of reality and shows a lack of respect for human rights.
If the supporters of the boycott want to step away from their hypocrisy, then they need to call for boycotts of all oppressors of human rights which means adding Egypt, Palestine, Iran, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria … and on and on.
But, that wouldn’t be politically correct, would it? So, they concentrate on boycotting Jews. And what message does that convey?
