I support Palestinian human rights, not a political party there.'
First off, you are incorrect. The poll does not say Canadians support the BDS organization.
More importantly, it doesn't change the fact that Hamas and Fatah's armed wing are designated terrorist entities.
http://ijvcanada.org/2017/poll-on-bds/The first release on Feb 16th revealed that most Canadians view the Israeli government negatively and that they see Canada’s government as pro-Israel. It also found that over 90%[1] of Canadians think that criticism of the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic.
Today’s release reveals that Canadians overwhelmingly view sanctions and boycotts as “reasonable” means to pressure Israel to adhere to international law.
For example, 91% believe that sanctions are a reasonable way to censure countries which violate human rights and international law. Two-thirds (66%) of respondents view government sanctions specifically on Israel as “reasonable.”
“Even higher proportions of Liberals (75%), NDP supporters (84%) and Bloc supporters (94%) think sanctions on Israel are reasonable,” said Diana Ralph of Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV). “Only the Conservatives tended to reject sanctions on Israel. But even among them, almost one-third (30%) think sanctions on Israel are reasonable.”
Seventy-eight percent of Canadians said they believe the Palestinians’ call for a boycott is “reasonable.” Ralph added, “It is striking that a majority of Jewish respondents also thought the Palestinian call for a boycott of Israel was reasonable.”
But refuse to criticize the massively repressive regimes (and terrorist entities) of the PA and Hamas, just like you refuse to criticize the 46% of Palestinians who support attacks on Israeli civilians.I support Palestinian human rights,
And it is true.You claimed that the report was from " body withing the UN made of of massive human rights abusers who criticize Israel only to distract from how disgusting their governments are."...
I forgot to mention that not only is that group a bunch of human rights abusers, the UN rejected the report.The UN has reported that treatment of Palestinians you call 'Israeli Arabs' is part and parcel of the Apartheid practice.

I didn't say his views are legitimate based on his race, I back his work as a lawyer and UN Rapporteur. His race was only brought into because you claimed that the report was from a "body withing the UN made of of massive human rights abusers who criticize Israel only to distract from how disgusting their governments are".And a Jew choosing to criticize Israel isn't racist; YOU are racist for your belief that (9/11 conspiracist) Falk's opinion is worthwhile because he is Jewish.
The US pressured the UN to take the report off the website. As the UN said, it was taken down because of the 'process' not the content.I forgot to mention that not only is that group a bunch of human rights abusers, the UN rejected the report.
But who would ever accuse you of fake news?
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/03/official-resigns-israel-apartheid-report-170317182241142.html"This is not about content, this is about process," said UN chief Antonio Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
Yet you insist on mentioning the Jewishness of any critic you like. Your excuses holds no water.I didn't say his views are legitimate based on his race, ...
The UN rejected the report. Therefore your description of it as a UN report are wrong.The US pressured the UN to take the report off the website. As the UN said, it was taken down because of the 'process' not the content....
Abbas is horrid and should have left years ago, Hamas used to be full on terrorists but in the last few years have moved away from that, including a new charter.But refuse to criticize the massively repressive regimes (and terrorist entities) of the PA and Hamas, just like you refuse to criticize the 46% of Palestinians who support attacks on Israeli civilians.
Also from that same poll we've been discussing, 77% of Palestinians see their government as corrupt, 59% fear criticizing their leaders, and 80% are worried about civil liberties under the PA. The poll also mentions the PA's new cyber-crime law which makes it a crime to criticize the government online and the arrests of journalists and people who criticize the government using social media. Finally the poll mentions that more Palestinians are worried about unemployment and government corruption than settlements and Gaza.
But no, you'll just continue to pretend Israeli is an Apartheid state and use that as a justification of terrorism and repression from Arab leaders.
And look at that whitewashing. Hamas still is a terrorist group, their members continue to attack Israeli civilians (as supported by 46% of Palestinians) and they are still on the list of terrorist entities.... Hamas used to be full on terrorists but in the last few years have moved away from that, including a new charter.....
Only in response to your personal claim that the UN commissioned report was by 'human rights abusers'.Yet you insist on mentioning the Jewishness of any critic you like. Your excuses holds no water.
Apartheid is just below genocide in the rankings of worse human rights crimes.And look at that whitewashing. Hamas still is a terrorist group, their members continue to attack Israeli civilians (as supported by 46% of Palestinians) and they are still on the list of terrorist entities.
And you are absolutely full of shit about them being better than Israel just like you are full of shit about Saudi Arabia and Iran being better than Israel.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/gaza-may-already-be-unlivable-un-official-warns/“We predicted some years ago that Gaza would fast become unlivable on a host of indicators and that deadline is actually approaching even faster than we predicted — from health access, to energy to water,” he said.
A 2012 UN report predicted the Palestinian enclave would be “unlivable” by 2020 if nothing was done to ease the blockade.
And despite how much you like casting Israel as evil, it isn't happening there.Apartheid is just below genocide in the rankings of worse human rights crimes....
Riiiiight. And I'm sure you have a Jewish friend too.Only in response to your personal claim that the UN commissioned report was by 'human rights abusers'....
Again, it wasn't a UN commissioned report. It was a report commissioned by a regional group made up of massive rights abusers and who are so racist they refuse to allow Israel to be part of its logical regional group.Only in response to your personal claim that the UN commissioned report was by 'human rights abusers'....'.
Sorry, the multiple reports and expert statements all say that Israel is apartheid.And despite how much you like casting Israel as evil, it isn't happening there.
Here's the website for the ESCWA, note the UN letterhead.Again, it wasn't a UN commissioned report. .
Non stop lying. Misrepresenting stuff as being UN when it's not. You never change.Here's the website for the ESCWA, note the UN letterhead.

As someone who claims they support non-violent protest, the rule of law and the ending of terrorism you sure do get upset with the application of law on Israel.
Just as you won't cheer that BDS is now being supported at the UN.

Bullshit. The UN rejected the claim. All you have are some well meaning people who don't have the relevant information.Sorry, the multiple reports and expert statements all say that Israel is apartheid.,,,
That was rejected by the UN. Some 9/11 conspiracy nut hired by a bunch of racist despots to report on human rights is not credible.Here's the website for the ESCWA, note the UN letterhead...
