11. Another way to prove you're so ridiculously wrong about BDS...

The BDS you support, the only type of BDS there is, not only calls for a Palestinian Right-of-Return but also accuses Israel of being an Apartheid state (not just within the OPT either). It's against 2-states. Let's call it antizionist BDS.

You'll find that those who oppose antizionist BDS & boycott only settlements (like Avnery, Beinart, etc..) do not advocate for a Right-of-Return and neither do they accuse Israel of Apartheid. They're all explicit in their support of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Let's call that Zionist boycotting.

Those are the only types of boycotts there are. Zionist vs. Anti-Zionist. One is a boycott of settlements only, the other is BDS. Everything that's out there on the internet & everything I've posted here proves that. There is no such thing as 2 types of BDS.

Try proving otherwise.
