The bill which goes into effect in July, allows #privateproperty owners to #shoot first and questions later if they believe that a trespasser or homeless person is going to commit a #felony or is attempting to “deposses” them.
The set of #toughoncrime laws also #criminalizes being homeless.
@Alon@NoraGottlieb@dustcircle Yes, but while Israel might be experiencing democratic backsliding within the green line, it’s operating an apartheid regime in the West Bank, that’s in some ways even more brutal than in South Africa, so the analogy with Turkey isn’t exact. How would you suggest Israel be forced to withdraw from the West Bank, if not BDS?
@Wynter@NoraGottlieb@dustcircle With negotiations? Remember, Olmert made an offer that Abbas would have accepted if Olmert hadn't been a lame duck by then. The "how should Israel be forced?" line is entirely people in Western countries wanting to establish a dominance hierarchy on the Jews; nobody talks about how the Netherlands or Sweden or Finland or (for years) Austria should be forced not to have an extreme right government.
