I've never condoned Israel's oppression of the Palestinians. What I'm doing is trying to understand why it's considered worse than everywhere else, like in the attempted rule at that law school, among other things. Neither you nor anyone else (except Blackhawks) has even attempted to answer the question as to why there are no rules codified against, for example, pro-Putin speakers on campus, only Israel. So, why is that the case, again?

Why is there no BDS movement against China, whose human rights violations make Israel's seem like child play? I guess stuff at Walmart is more important than concern about human rights violations there.

You don't answer these questions by simply stating that I'm "wrongheaded" repeatedly.

When did I ever write that, "every article re discrimination and abuse in Israel must also include comparative or similar content re the same in other countries." I wrote about some Americans, like BDS proponents, response to it.

And that countries in Europe, other countries in the Middle East, and a few elsewhere seem to understand context better than some Americans or you do.

Where did I write that articles "about Trayvon and others mention rights violations and abuse in other countries", or should? I mentioned the comparison about gun violence. Global gun violence numbers are often used as context for perspective about what's happening in America. Get it? Yours is a straw man argument, a red herring, whatever.

Now, why is there no BDS movement against Saudi Arabia, again? I'm guessing it's because no one wants to mess with oil production numbers. Situational ethics at its finest. Cheers.
