BDS campaigns target the Israeli state because of its responsibility for serious violations of international law and the companies and institutions that participate in and are complicit in these Israeli violations. The BDS movement does not boycott or campaign against any individual or group simply because they are Israeli.

Opposing the expansion of Israel is considered anti-Zionist, I think - not anti-semitic. It used to mean the destruction of Israel, but I believe it has a more nuanced meaning now (except maybe in Iran). Some word-wise people will be along later to correct this.
But that would be 2 ideas for Trump and others to hold in their heads at one time.

The two things are now effectively the same thing, sadly.

There were quite a few nazi cunts well known for it other than Goering.
hitler, eichmann, heydrich, himmler. etc.
I studied history in Cardiff Uni for two years

A real role model. You put me in mind of my uncle Tecwyn who unfortunately died in awful circumstances. If only we had known his blood type![]()
Yet despite this he remained inspirational right up to the end. I remember his last words to me. "Be positive"

Fuck me, the bloke is light years, light years ahead of the shower you have in office atm.
Just basic human decency, a willingness to listen and learn and moderate intelligence turns out to be enough.
How low we have fallen.
