Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: A Closer Look at Students for Justice in Palestine [View all]Little Tich
(6,171 posts)27. I've read your post, and I still disagree with you.
For me, the destruction of Israel means the destruction of Israel in the same sense as the destruction of the USA or in the slogan "Death to the USA", not in the calling for equal rights to Palestinians. For example a Palestinian who only wants to return to his house in Jaffa and grow oranges on his ancestral family farm isn't promoting the destruction of Israel - he just wants to go home.
In a way, I would say that your interpretation that allowing equal rights for Palestinians will destroy Israel, is awfully similar to how freeing slaves in the Southern USA would destroy it too.
I think there's little for me to add on this subject this time...

I'm sorry - I just assumed that calling for equal rights wasn't considered racist.
