Israel/Palestine

(26,060 posts)that no leader has called for Israel to disappear really should tell that to the BDS folks. I guess you missed this thread:
A lecture by Israels ambassador to the UN Danny Danon was disrupted Monday as supporters of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest, Sanctions campaign burst in on the event.
The protesters shouted Palestine will be liberated from the river to the sea, Israel is a terror state, and Israel has no right to exist.
Danon, who had been addressing some 300 students from New Yorks Columbia University, told the protesters, Instead of inciting and lying, sit down on the chairs and maybe youll learn something, the Ynet news site reported.
He told them, We wont remain silent in the face of the lies that you are spreading about Israel. We will continue to make our voices heard and to stand up for our just truth.

What do YOU think "liberated from river to the sea" and "Israel has no right to exist" means? I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Palestinians don't have a state because of their friends, not their enemies.
