I would support a boycott of Israeli institutions and corporations where
they do not explicitly reject their governments policies towards
Palestinians and Palestine. Where individuals and organisations within
Israel act to support Palestine then they deserve all our support.

I'll never understand why any criticism of Israel is automatically taken as
racism by some. I have Jewish friends who don't like the apartheid happening in
Palestine any more than I do. I don't see that the problems that you point out
concerning racist attitudes around the world have anything
I was a little surprised to encounter somebody who could state, with a
straight face, that they appreciate those who seek truth. I therefore

Without relativism there would be no argument. The inquisition was over long
ago (I hope).
I also think it is possible to be anti-Zionist and not racist. Zionism and
