9. What a load. Who pushes BDS if not the BDS movement?

It's also highly disingenuous to distance yourself from the BDS movement when you agree with practically every part of it...

You're an anti-zionist, you support Right of Return, you think Israel is Apartheid, you support Palestinian "popular resistance", non-normalization b/w Jews and Palestinians, and boycotting Israel for some other reason other than settlements (cultural, the Gaza war, boycotting Matisyahu or other perceived racists, etc).

Unless you can show me a list of companies that boycott Israel, my argument in post #2 still stands.


Huh? Are you arguing these companies support BDS against Israeli settlements but do not subscribe to the BDS movement itself? I've pointed you to Gush Shalom and Uri Avnery, an example of people boycotting settlements who are against BDS. What makes you think these companies are different than Gush Shalom? Gush Shalom doesn't do BDS, so what makes you think these companies are doing it?
