F1,
That's good background and context for the topic. But Rabin was also assassinated for making overtures towards peace, and just like Sadat....it was by an element of his own people who didn't truly want peace.

I noted that Israel is an advanced country, fully capable of functioning without so much aid. It cannot be justified.I don't think that the military support can be justified anymore either.


FatDom,

I think you're simplifying the nature of what BDS might be about. Every single time I've watched an interview about that movement, the person speaking was of Jewish descent. Unless they are all "self hating Jews", I hardly think you could paint a movement with so many Jews at the forefront as being anti-Jewish. These are old excuses that don't fly anymore.




Gangster,
complicated topic for sure.
I think China is a superpower, but will not exert/extend itself as others have in the past.
