I write about Zionism from decolonial Jewish perspective at https://OneSmallDetail.blog
Reminder that the idea of a boycott targeting *only* Israeli settlements in the West Bank makes no sense.
The Israeli government subsidizes the development of settlements & collects taxes on economic activity there, and Israeli society as a whole benefits from the ethnic cleansing.
The boycott must be against all of Israel.
Israeli police detained a Jewish man for wearing a kippa with the Israeli and Palestinian flags, then took the kippa and cut out the Palestinian flag.
Because Judaism is part of the Zionist story, but the main thing is hyper-nationalism and colonialism. Repressing and erasing Palestinian identity always takes precedence over the respect for Jewish rituals and religion.
New rule: anyone who says "Israel has a right to exist" must explain what that means. A right to exist as an ethno-nationalist Jewish state? Or as a democratic state for all its citizens? Or as a binational federation? Or as something else?
"Israel has a right to exist" is just lazy and unhelpful.
