Why Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is hatred masquerading as policy

Even a cursory review of Donald Trump’s economic proposals for the United States reveals what business associates have known for years: Mr. Trump’s comprehensive grasp of economic issues, domestic and global, is exceptional. He has built his fortune thanks in no small part to his understanding of the way the economy really works, both at home and around the world. But his goals extend well beyond returning our country to prosperity. They also include fighting terrorism so that America and our allies may live in peace.

Terrorism and the hatred that fuels it come in many forms. In the 68 years since Israel achieved independence, its enemies have sown terror and sought to undermine the Jewish state by invading Israel’s borders, firing rockets over them, and digging terror tunnels underneath them. ...

The Arab states declared war on Israel.

For all intents and purposes that war is still raging because no formal peace was declared or treaties were signed except the one with Egypt.

Regardless of who owned what land when, if the Israelis are able to acquire land and build housing on that land for their people then the more power to them.

If the only thing that the Arabs have going for them is random acts of terrorism and whiny liberal boycotts, then they should expect decades more of acquiring and populating land with Israeli citizens.

"Good on 'em" is all I can say.
