I read a bit of that Jac, Samir is one person, I'm sure there are many others that wouldn't agree with him, but hey ho there will always be collaborators and people that don't give damn as long as they are ok..
I also read this quote from Nelson "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians."
What's the alternative, do we just sit back and let those that prosper from others suffering?
I see it as solidarity, maybe it won't make a difference, but at least the people that are having their land stolen being bombed and murdered endlessly will know that there are those around the world that stand with them..
The Irish author Sally Rooney has said she has chosen not to sell the translation rights of her new book, Beautiful World, Where Are You, to an Israeli-based publishing house.
"Her first two novels, Conversations with Friends and Normal People, were translated into Hebrew by Katyah Benovits and published in Israel by Modan.
However, in the wake of two critical reports by an international and an Israeli human rights groups, which claimed that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians met the definition of apartheid under international law, the Irish author said she was supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement. BDS is, she said, “a nonviolent grassroots campaign calling for an economic and cultural boycott of complicit Israeli companies and institutions modelled on the economic and cultural boycott that helped to end apartheid in South Africa”.!
