I understand opposition to the Israeli government’s activities in the West Bank and Gaza. Obviously that government should be targeted by BDS. Businesses also seem fair game. But what about individuals? For example, if an artist posts periodically online, should they also be subject to boycott?

    Then you can still engage. I’m not a Zionist. And you can tell that clearly from my arguments.

    But I get it. History is complex, particularly in that region. It’s simpler to stick to an oversimplified ideological version of it. Never having to adjust a view just feels safer.

      There’s nothing simple about that situation. But since Rabin was assassinated, there’s been a clear right and wrong. Particularly with the rise of Netanyahu, Israel is wrong.

      And now this conversation really has run its course. Have a nice life.
