South Africa called Mandela a terrorist, as did Canada.
Fortunately sanctions like BDS ended apartheid before it got violent.
Israel and your campaign against boycotts has taken that avenue away, its time to restore it.

Not true, they live under a separate form of apartheid according to the UN, Amnesty, HRW and B'tselem.
They have no right to self determination, no right of return, restrictive marriage laws and multiple other legal differences.
Read the reports.
Only problem is Jordan and Egypt don't want the land (the originally stole) back and ceded control to Israel.
The Two State solution is the obvious idea but the problem is how to get the extremists to accept it. Israel is still a functioning democracy (unless Bibi uses the war as an excuse to push through his authoritarian laws) so public interest will marginalize their extremists but I don't know if there's a way to disarm groups like Hamas and PIJ who state they will accept no final peace that doesn't include them ruling an Islamic state over the entire region.
But Franky is okay with collective punishment of Jewish Israelis.
I don't recall anywhere (other than Nazi propaganda) that says Jews were launching attacks on German civilians from Warsaw.
It would be nice if Hamas would chose to fight a straight up war instead of targeting Jewish civilians and hiding behind their own.
But yes, a response will mean Israel will be more willing to target Hamas leaders despite potential civilian deaths. Recall how the US reacted when a tiny fraction of their people were killed in 9/11?
yeah both their financing (Iran etc) and indoctrination puts them in a position where they want an eternal conflict
Overt racism. thanks. And nice to see Kautilya be open in his agreement.
(for those too stupid to see how this is racism, even franky accepts that Israel isn't representative of the world's Jews and many Israeli Jews support a Palestinian stat).
My hope is the Israeli public will hold Netanyahu accountable and get someone more moderate in power.
Or when Arab rioters attacked long time Jewish residents in 1919 because they didn't like other Jews immigrating?
Of whenever people started hating people in different groups because they could.
No you don't.
You support Israel shooting civilian protesters, bombing schools, apartment buildings and hospitals.
That's even more terrorist like than Hamas.
Gaza is 75% refugees and 50% children.
In a way correct but the UN Partition created both Jewish and Arab (Palestinian) states. The lack of a Palestinian state has a lot to do with Arab leadership (mainly in Damascus, Amman, and Cairo) decided couldn't accept the idea and used it as an excuse to expand their own power bases in an era where all of them endorsed a pan-Arab state (as long as it was under their control)
Which likely was a huge factor in the timing of this attack.
Yet you seem massively worried about Sikh independence groups even more poorly armed.Yup a country with F35s and ICBMs and Nukes is facing an existential threat because of a few rockets by a poorly equipped militant group, over a country being invaded by the world's largest nuclear force. Yup, that makes sense!
Why doesn't Josh just get on his knees and give Putin a blowjob instead?
WTF are you talking about?
Meanwhile significant numbers of Palestinians and Muslims around the world have been celebrating the deaths of Jewish civilians, including a shop in Mississauga that was handing out sweets and pro-Palestinian 'protesters' in NY taunting counter-protesters with the number of Jewish dead.
Wow. What a pathetic attempt to minimize Hamas' actions. Especially funny coming from a guy who openly supports killing of anyone he thinks is promoting Sikh independence.Palestinian armed group’s apparent deliberate targeting of civilians, indiscriminate attacks, and taking of civilians as hostages amount to war crimes under international humanitarian law. Israeli authorities’ cutting off electricity to Gaza and other punitive measures against Gaza’s civilian population would amount to unlawful collective punishment, which is a war crime. The laws of war apply to all parties to a conflict, irrespective of the lawfulness of their going to war or imbalances of power between the parties.
Israel/Palestine: Devastating Civilian Toll as Parties Flout Legal Obligations
Palestinian armed groups carried out a deadly assault on October 7, 2023, that killed several hundred Israeli civilians and led to Israeli counterstrikes that killed hundreds of Palestinians.www.hrw.org
They started buying up land in the 1920's. The people at the time were happy to sell them desert land.
But it still needs to be approved and released by Qatar.Iranian president said, they can use the $6 billion for whatever they want!!
Iranian president says Tehran will spend the $6 billion released in prisoner exchange ‘wherever we need it’
Biden administration officials have said that the funds, the proceeds of Iranian oil sales to South Korea, can only be spent on humanitarian purposes.www.nbcnews.com
