    I get the idea, and I’m not opposed to things like that, given that they don’t seem likely to worsen the situation and might extract some kind of concession from Israel, but I don’t expect that it’d be likely to actually work. Israel is not, for it’s similarities, exactly the same as South Africa and Nazi Germany (the latter of which, for that matter, didn’t exactly collapse just because of economic sanctions), and sanctions have their limits, else for example North Korea would have collapsed long ago, along with a whole host of other regimes that have gained the ire of significant parts of the world for one reason or another.

      South Africa was a nuclear power backed by the same countries that now back the genocide. It was hard to imagine back then that the apartheid would end, but it happened.

      Yeah as I said, I’m against violence so I advocate for the boycott solution and not for the Nazi Germany treatment even though some might feel like the Zionists would deserve that…

        South africa was not an occupation and still used armed resistance. Armed resistance was always a big part of ending occupation.

        It would be so great if occupation was ending without a single casualities this is not the case

      One other option beyond BDS (and not involving an invasion) would be countries removing diplomatic recognition of Israel and expelling all Israeli diplomats.

      This is of course easier said than done, but it’s far more viable than any other alternative courses of action.
