    BDS is peaceful protest.

    Oh...ha...hilarious. Legislating against doing business with and/or blocking funding of BDS is also a form of peaceful protest. That type of legislation doesn't prevent BDS from continuing their protest it only prevents then from benefiting from government funds they are not entitled too. Those who feel strongly about BDS can soldier on with their protest but do it without the money.

    You do it to yourself and that's what really hurts.

    Riiiiight..... Radiohead may not see it as an endorsement, and you may not either. But the fact that you bumped an old thread in the political sub forum to gloat about it, and when no one bit, you bumped this one, and you see it as 'courageous' to play Israel, tells me you see it as a political victory....which is bad enough.

    if radiohead do not see their playing as an endorsement of the current state of affairs in israel then theyre fools... why not play gaza? now thatd be courageous.

    hear my name

    Greenwood is married to an Israeli and has a house there. Don't know his stance on the occupation but not everyone views playing there as an endorsement. Which, yes, I think is foolish and ignorant, but hey...can't control the thoughts of others.


    I find it funny to see a conservative supporting legislation against the way private businesses and individuals decide to invest their time and money...ironic to see a supporter of Israel also support legislation that opens the door to blacklists....seems all principles go out the window if there is benefit to Israel.
    I guess the Presbyterian church isn't entitled to government grants to run soup kitchens because they have a moral conscience. Got it.

    The legislation I support doesn't prevent private businesses from doing anything. It simply states that business who participate in BDS are not entitled to do business with a government that disagrees with it. A business can then consciously choose what is more important to them. If taking a stand against Israel is so important then they can do so but a government should not have to go along.

    This is what you'll get when you mess with us...

    id be very surprised if the members of radiohead didnt think playing israel would be seen as an endorsement of the apartheid actions of the israeli govt. theyve never struck me as being either foolish or ignorant.

    Language troubles many of you. It is not an "endorsement" if one doesn't even see said "action" to exist. We all know that the OP thinks "apartheid" exists. We all know that many on the AMT think "apartheid" exists. But what most don't understand is that there are many who don't think "apartheid" exists. We laugh when we see you use the term. We think it is silly. We don't support every policy of the Israeli government but we recognize that "apartheid" it is not. If you can grasp this concept then you can understand how Radiohead can play Israel without it being an endorsement for anything other then sharing music with their fans. The premise of "apartheid" is not accepted.

    https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/80-percent-canadians-back-israel-boycott-poll-0

    According to the newly released findings, 78 percent of respondents expressing an opinion say BDS is reasonable

    Opposition to the condemnation of BDS was strong among backers of all the left of center parties – ranging from 55 percent among Liberals to 78 percent among Greens.

    Only among Conservatives did more people support the motion (46 percent) than oppose it (33 percent).

    Consistent with generational trends seen in the United States, younger Canadians appear more sympathetic to Palestinian rights. Two-thirds of respondents aged 18-34 expressing an opinion opposed the parliamentary condemnation of BDS, a number that drops to 46 percent among those aged over 65.

    Similarly, 84 percent of the 18-34 age group said the BDS call is reasonable, a number that fell to a still impressive 72 percent for those aged over 65.

    Sanctions on Israel
    Overall, 91 percent of respondents expressing an opinion agreed that in general sanctions are a reasonable way for Canada to censure countries for violations of international law or human rights.

    Two-thirds agreed that sanctions specifically targeting Israel over its construction of settlements on occupied Palestinian land in violation of international law would be reasonable, with one-third indicating opposition.

    Three-quarters of respondents who identify with Trudeau’s Liberals support sanctions. That support rises as high as 94 percent among backers of Canada’s other left of center parties.

    I know some people hate link posts without comments, so here are mine:

    - the Canadian government is completely out of step with Canadian opinion on Israel's apartheid policy and illegal occupation. Our darling liberal leader is the most out of step with his voters, of all the party leaders. Why is that? The young person demographic in the poll is also telling - Israel is losing its hasbara war. The BDS campaign is working despite the lobby effort to kill it.
    - Someone had the balls to tell it like it is in regards to Israeli apartheid, on Israeli tv. Brave guy. My understanding is that this was his final monologue - his show was cancelled. I still haven't had a chance to look into what kind of blowback he's received....

    Man I wish I could go to Israel someday. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be allowed in because I openly support bds. But hey, 'papers and phone password, please' is the new 'let freedom reign' in the world's great democracies!

    Do we deny access for any nonviolent activism?

    That depends on whether you believe Khizr Khan.
