....by allowing BDS to sabotage, poison & devastate their movements?

There are other occupations & settlements throughout the world. No one knows or cares about them. So why this obsession with Israel, which destroys & rots out each and every progressive movement it touches? Why is this being allowed?

That reason is explained in the OP, second part which was cited in post #1. BDS turns into shit everything it touches. You don't see the problem?
