1. A Battle against the Occupation would be more effective...
miki ,   tampa   (01.08.16)
I know I know there is no occupation, somehow 776 Israelis died in 1967 when we didn't occupy the West Bank, 126 when we didn't occupy Jerusalem. Our policies against the Arabs, both those here with us and those on the West Bank brought this on our heads, we did this to ourselves, not Anti-Semitism, not Leftwing hysterics, not fashionable politics, we did it to our selves.
2. Make "Palestinians" pay a severe price for BDS
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.08.16)
What are the roots of BDS? The obvious answer is "Palestinians", (with help from treacherous Israeli leftists). "Palestinians" demonize Israel around the world and promote BDS. They are the head of the snake. Any rational battle against BDS must involve making "Palestinians" pay a very severe price for it. It is absurd to pretend we fight BDS, while lavishing "Palestinians" with food, money, materials, electricity, work permits etc.
3. Effective?
Ed ,   USA   (01.08.16)
While the organizers of the anti BDS conference and others are correct that the official BDS movement is headed by people with an agenda of ending Israel, it's also true that the BDS movement gives these people something to focus on rather than look at the deeper issues driving BDS. It's a real shame that the right wing of the Pro Israel camp and the Right Wing of the Pro Palestine camp (BDS) get all the attention, and no one has the courage or leadership skills to deal with the real issues of borders, refugees, and security.
4. #1 miki makes no sense
Nonsense   (01.08.16)
So why did the 1967 war happen then? Oh I know - because somehow Egypt, Syria and Jordon KNEW that Israel intended to occupy Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem and decided to attack so that could happen!
5. btselem may be accessory to murder
jay   (01.09.16)
if betselem person gave info to hamas on individual wanting to sell land to israelis. and if this individual was killed by haniyeh and company, weiinstein should be prosecuting the whistleblower. \bteslem is and organisation of garbage people who do nothing good and this case enabled murders to take place. mandlebit shoiuld investigate and lay charges if the evidence supports it. what despicable jews in btselem. did not one of the pm' kids belong to btselem/ I wonder who that could be..
6. Please provide details
UR   (01.09.16)
Ynet, please provide details of where to register for the conference. Who is deciding who are the experts? Given this has been going on for a decade and has done nothing but grow in strength & influence, how expert can they be?
