Thanks to the tireless efforts of these individuals and thousands of others around the world, Apartheid South Africa.no longer exists. Yet, the Africaaners and all the non-African communities planted in that land are still there--no one puched them out into the sea.

Who has the moral right today to accuse the original inhabitants of Palestine and their descendents of wanting to achieve a Palestine for all?

The boycott campaign is an effective tool as long as everyone beyond the BDS campaigners understands that the goal muyst be to turn "Israel" into a democracy, one that can begin to respect--as a first step--basic human rights, such as the right to live in one's own house and to exist as a people with a history without the threat of annihiliation from a self-crowned band of Chosen Racers and assassins.

It is now clear, judging from the swell of support and the gathering regional and international developments that Israel cannot and will not be allowed to continue in its present form.

The "Jewish State" gimick, which Netanyahu insisted the Palestinians recognize during the last round of "peace negotiations," is sounding increasingly like the last gasp of a grandiose but failed Zionist-Anglo-American plan for the region. When the Zionist project was first formally acknowledged, in 1917, it was hoisted upon a world drowing in blood and imperialist terror around the globe. The world today is still cowing with fear, too scared to raise its voice against a predator settler regime that no one really knows what to do with or what to make of.

But it's really not that hard!

The question today is how the governments in the United States and the moribund EU will react as their "powerful" little Zionist bastion of terror next door gaudally or quickly crumbles to dust and a new state is erected in its place, exactly as in South Africa.

The age of neo-imperialism is fast drawing to a close, but I guess they just haven't come around to accepting the reality.

"Who can object (apart from Zionists who want an apartheid system) to a single truly democratic country affording equal rights to all, where Jews and Arabs can live side by side as they used to before the state of Israel was created?"

But why stop there, Mr. Porter? Who can truly object (apart from genocidal, imperialist freaks) to a single, truly democratic country, affording equal rights to all, where Mexicans and US citizens can live side by side as they used to before the USA was created?

Why stop there! Who can truly object (apart from genocidal, imperialist freaks) to a single, truly democratic WORLD?

Well, I may not object to any of these things, but I will raise the issue of REALITY. There's nothing in international humanitarian law, world public opinion, or relevant human rights organizations calling for a single state. The annual vote for the two-state settlement (the word solution is arrogant) at the United Nations General Assembly (the most democratic body of the world), 'Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine,' is the same every year Israel, US, some small islands VS THE ENTIRE WORLD. No joke. Last year the vote was 167 vs 7 (Israel, US, Canada, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau), previous voting is virtually identical. Am I to reason from this that those 167 countries are 'Zionists who want an apartheid system'? What about the human rights organizations? Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc etc--are they a bunch of 'Zionists who want an apartheid system'? What about the International Criminal Court of Justice, in 2004 they issued a ruling on the wall declaring it illegal, and they, unanimously, agreed that all of the settlements are ILLEGAL--are they a bunch of 'Zionists who want an apartheid system'?

The two-state SETTLEMENT has NOT been made impossible. All of the settlers are illegal. However, they don't all have to go, there could EASILY be a land swap, among many other options.
