  1. Hi Berd, Can you answer this simple, straight-forward question: Are you boycotting Arab Israelis too, or only Jewish Israelis?

    Thanks

  4. Yes, I can answer that.

    Firstly, I want to point out that I am, personally, not boycotting anyone.

    I do support the 2005 international call by Palestinian civil society organizations to boycott Israeli goods.

    And my understanding is that that includes Palestinian products as well.

    The Israeli government and society need to stop treating Palestinians and other Arabs as if they're inferior.

    Do you think that would make sense for the Israeli government and society to stop treating Palestinians and Arabs poorly? Do you think it would make sense to allow Palestinians economic and political self-determination? Do you think that would decrease tension and violence?

    If so, then how do you propose persuading the Israeli government and society to do so?

    If not, then what do you propose?

    Thanks, and take care.
