Margaret Atwood Accepts Israel's Dirty Prize Money - Shame!

Respectfully, your position amounts to:  You're either with us or against us.  Zionists are evil doers. 

There ARE two sides. 

To the extent that the Palestinian side believes that western liberals and academics want an outcome to end "the total occupation of Palestine" I believe that the rejectionist side wiill be encouraged.  That in turn feeds into the right wing in Israel who will say "see, they reject Israel."

The only hope is that a fair minded US administration will get things going again.  The parties already have agreed on the basic deal.  There will be those on both sides who never will accept it.   But a BDS that is totally rejectionist is a total failure.

Wouldn't that describe Canada, Cueball?

No. No minorities are stripped of their fundamental citizenship rights, simply because they are from an ethnic group.

You can be damn sure that no Arabs from the West Bank or Gaza Strip will be recieving any of the scholarship money that Dan David will be giving out in Margaret Atwoods name in order to go the University of Tel Aviv, because Arabs from the West Bank and Gaza are not allowed to immigrate, in any way shape or form. This despite the fact that these scholarships are awarded supposedly on merit without regard gender, race, religion, nationality, or political affiliation, even if an award was given, an Arab student from the West Bank would not be allowed to attend school.

However, were you Jewish and living in the West Bank, no such restricition would apply.
