*Jews have been subjected to boycotts for centuries, most recently and tragically by the Nazis in Germany.*
I think this statement from the video is the understatement of the century.

I think they phrased it that way, though certainly much came after the boycotts, to make a very clear connection that others may be making when they fear BDS. All the rest of the horror did in fact start with boycotts. 

Of course, the major difference here is equating boycotting an ethnic group to persecute them vs. boycotting a political entity on the grounds of its actions in an attempt to get it to change those actions. The Palestinians are the Jews in this scenario, only far past boycotts.

Frankly, I'm a little uncomfortable with BDS, primarily for two reasons. First, we live in a world that is full of injustice, but when disparate groups unite against a perceived injustice they happen to unite against the only Jewish country? Coincidence? If BDS were broad, perhaps also addressing other injustices in the region, it would seem a little less suspicious. Second, Israel faces enemies that want nothing short of the "extermination of all Jews." I'm very uncomfortable taking a position that is parallel to Iran, Hezbollah, and ISIS. (These groups would bleed me, hang me, or stone me given the oppertunity.) I'm hopeful that Dr. King would have similar discomfort, although we'll never know.

I think you’re starting with a false premise, that putting pressure on Israel to end its human rights abuses means not doing the same with anyone else. Quite the contrary. The same people decrying Israel’s abuses often do the same over Saudi Arabia and numerous other countries. It’s more a question of why only Israel is given a pass by the most powerful nation which is usually the first to apply sanctions to try to coerce behavior. 

But even with that, you know, when I was in college I was active in the divestment movement only related to apartheid in South Africa. I’m sure there were abuses going on elsewhere at the time too.  I don’t think having a focus on only one government’s abuses at a time makes the activity useless. Apartheid in SA did end, after all.  If we wait to attempt to change any of the world until we can change all of the world, there will be no progress whatsoever.

Interesting thoughts about activism. I'm back in Santa Fe now. How are things looking for you? I could possibly make a trip to Taos. Or, maybe you have some reason to visit Santa Fe. Or, if you're heading to Austin soon, you could stop briefly in Santa Fe en route so we could meet. What do you think?

I'm heading to Austin but when I get back in March I'll be here for months after, so that would be a much easier time to try to plan something. Look forward to seeing you then if you're also still here. When I drive to Austin I'll be trying to make it in a single day, so not even stopping for food, just gas.

I hope you enjoy your trip to Austin. I expect that I will probably not be in NM in March, but it's possible.  So, you can let me know when you're coming back. I'm not expecting to see you soon, so I wish you well until whenever.
