1. I'm inclined to agree with Oz. n/t

2. So you agree that advocating Israel's destruction is antisemitic?

"Saying that Israel should cease to exist, or should not have come into being, this is crossing the line."

Bingo.

Proving conclusively BDS is antisemitic.

3. Calling for the destruction of Israel is almost always anti-Semitic.

There are probably exceptions, but I can't think of any right now. But arguing that BDS is calling for the destruction of Israel is a real stretch.

4. And that's exactly what Phil Weiss & Omar Barghouti do....

It's what anyone who advocates full right-of-return is doing. They're calling for Israel's destruction.

Mahmoud Abbas knows this.

Abbas Deemed It 'Illogical' for Israel to Absorb 5 Million Refugees, Palestine Papers Show
"On numbers of refugees, it is illogical to ask Israel to take 5 million, or indeed 1 million," Abbas said, according to the details of the Palestine papers. "That would mean the end of Israel."

The founder of BDS, Omar Barghouti knows this.

“I do not buy into the two state solution. It is not just pragmatically impossible, it was never a moral solution. The first issue would be the right of return, but if the refugees were to return you cannot have a two state solution like one Palestinian commentator remarked. You will have a Palestinian State next to a Palestinian State, rather than a Palestinian State next to Israel.”

Omar Barghouti, Ottawa University, March 4, 2009

5. Abbas and Barghouti of BDS admit it. Allowing full RoR means the end of Israel...

They can put lipstick on it and call it equal rights with Jews to live in Israel (even though Palestinians could live in Gaza/WB) but they admit it would destroy Israel.

Why can't you?

Be honest.

6. It seems as if we have different definitions of what constitutes calling for the destruction of

Israel.

I'll go with Oz on this one.

7. Abbas & Barghouti are at least honest enough to admit what Oz is arguing. n/t
