What Barghouti actually said is that: “A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the land’s indigenous Palestinian population and perpetuate a system of racial discrimination that ought to be opposed categorically.”
He added: “As we would oppose a Muslim state or a Christian state or any kind of exclusionary state, definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian – rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian – will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
Barghouti then asserted: “Accepting modern-day Jewish Israelis as equal citizens and full partners in building and developing a new shared society, free from all colonial subjugation and discrimination as called for in the democratic state model is the most magnanimous, rational offer any oppressed indigenous population can present to its oppressors.”
That’s a far cry from the impression AIPAC and Alterman evidently hope to convey, that Barghouti and the BDS movement are seething with anti-Jewish bigotry. -
He wants to eliminate the state of Israel and BDS is his vehicle to do so and you defend him.HHusky said:https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/michael-f-brown/new-york-times-doubles-down-anti-bds-hit-jobs

AIPAC fed people a line. His edited statement isn't reflective of what he actually said.

So why isn't he leading a BDS movement against Saudi Arabia? And Israel isn't just a "Jewish state" 20% of the country is Arab.
So why isn't he boycotting the UAE? -
A child of Palestinians, married to an Israeli leads a cause that involves Israel. You can't figure out why he doesn't lead a cause that involves some other nation.SFGbob said:“As we would oppose a Muslim state or a Christian state or any kind of exclusionary state, definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.

Do you donate money to any causes? Why don't you donate money to all causes?

Why is it that none of the Pali brothers and sisters wants anything to do with them?
Historically the Palis have claimed all sorts of real estate to be their "homeland ".
Why? -
So he doesn't really oppose a exclusionary Muslim state and Israel isn't exclusively Jewish. Other than that you fucking nailed it O'Keefed.HHusky said:
