ace, look. the thread is about the threats from the netanyahu government--which is a right/far right coalition government--to make the academic boycott of israel illegal. so to make voicing support for it a crime. that's the issue.

the boycott is directed at the israeli seige of gaza and the occupation of the west bank--which entails the settlements.

it's not about world war 3. that is a fantasy.
what you are trying with it is to defend the israeli right in general even as you disagree on this particular idea.
that's an argument.
the problem is that rather than defend the right, you tried to jack the thread.

talk from a conservative position all you want. just stop trying to derail the thread. there are other ways.
