-r Amos Schocken.
4. Blockade
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (06.07.15)
Hello! Israel isn't the only country blockading Gaza. No one ever seems to remember Egypt.
5. Don't let the Western governments of the hook
tiki ,   belgium   (06.07.15)
They are the hypocrites who let the BDS do their dirty work, while they play innocent with non binding remarks as "we're against boycotts", while actively supporting anti Israel groups with millions and doing some Apartheid politics (labelling only Israeli produce) by themselves. 2) What about the Arab boycott when the "Palestinians" were still called Arabs/Jordanians, "Palestine" was not even a phantasy and Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria were still occupied by Jordan
6. Excellent article !
Moshe ,   Israel   (06.07.15)
The Israeli government must allocate more resources for the anti BDS campaign, to elucidate for the ignorant that the hatred of the Pals toward the Jewish state is not about 1967 borders, but of November 1947 borders.
7. Yemini
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.07.15)
Yemini presents his case no differently from that of the BDS protagonists - a devious promotion of half-truths and insinuations
8. #7 Please explain.

9. Facts of BDS
Stan ,   Israel   (06.07.15)
In South Africa non Whites were not given human rights. Under 48 years of OCCUPATION, Palestinians do not have human rights. It took more than 25 years of Boycott and Sanctions and finally Divestment to bring the White Regime to its knees. How long will it take here to get Israel to end the OCCUPATION?
10. to #1&#2: liar, liar, pants on fire!

11. How not waste money? The real non-violence.
i-non violence   (06.07.15)
By allocating money to truly non violent Palestinian dissidents, who want to establish a non violent Palestinian society. Bloggers, reformers, artists, lawyers who can replace the liars among the past and present Palestinian leaders. Educators who want to teach a generation of non violence.
12. Think about it.......
Stan ,   Israel   (06.07.15)
For White South Africans it was an existential threat to give equal rights to the Non Whites. For Israelis to negotiate the establishment of a Palestinian State ALONGSIDE Israel is far less dangerous (no matter what our Prime Minister tells us) Israel is hundreds (if not thousands) of times stronger than all our neighbors Militarily, economically and technologically. Only a fool will deny the fact that ending the occupation will bring an end to BDS
13. excellent article
c   (06.07.15)
bds is a totalitarian movement whose goal is the destruction of the jewish state. kerry had threatened israel with bds if netanyahu did not capitulate to his obama's demand to give the arab palestinians an arab terror state. obama in an interview on israel television threatened that he will not defend israel if israel did not capitulate to his dictates. the bds movement is made up of islamists and marxists. while they have nothing in common, they do agree that israel needs to be destroyed.
14. Jews too Traumatised to give up Judea and Samariah
Zola   (06.08.15)
The Jewish history is so Catastrophic they will not give up Security In their Policies. Israel is viewed as Justicefor theHolocaust. Autonomy for the Arabs half of Judea and Samariah already exists it all residents have to be Security conscious. Thereare alot of PsychoMass murderers amomgstArabs and Jews.
15. #9. Israel "occupies" her own land
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.08.15)
#9 Stan. Polls and elections prove practically nobody listens to infallibly wrong leftists any more. Israel "occupies" her own land. The proof, supplied by countless world class international lawyers, including Eugene Rostow, is irrefutable.
16. Collapse the P.A. and BDS will also collapse
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.08.15)
Recent studies have exposed BDS as mostly a P.A. campaign. We even know the hotels where P.A. bagmen meet BDS leaders to give them bags of cash. The P.A. is the focal point of all the evil. Israel must stop supplying the terrorist P.A. and let it fall. This would also collapse BDS.
17. To Ben-Dror Yemini
Avi L.   (06.08.15)
Make a page with all the answers, with contribution from readers too. Each question with its own answer(s), free for everybody to use it. Free for everybody to put in its site/blog/twitter/facebook. Ynet has the means to do it, documents, pictures, public declarations. A no hold barred could contain Turkey genocide of the Armenians, Turkey illegal occupation of Cyprus and invasion by turkish colonists, Turkish intolerance of other religions and so on. Maybe a cross table with facts and countries ...
