"israel iz bad guy haha knew it"
oh god people here are so ignorant
ok I'm an israeli soldier (not a combat one), and no I'm not getting paid (at least no to defend israel on this ground), so let me explain some
stuff to you.
"The Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that students on Israeli university campuses would receive full or partial scholarships to
combat anti-Semitism and calls to boycott Israel online. It said students' messages would parallel statements by government officials."
"combat anti-Semitism and calls to boycott Israel online"
see that? that's not "combat criticism on Israel online"
first there is the "combat anti-Semitism" thing. criticizing Israel is not being antisemitic right? so that has nothing to do with Israel.
moving on
"combat... calls to boycott Israel online"
those calls are based on the simple fact that there are some products that are made by Israeli firms using internationally recognized Palestinian
territory. if nobody will buy their products, Israel firms will just get out of there. which is true.
but the only thing that will achieve is getting people jobless. it will not preach "peace" and it will not give the Palestinian that area back
(because there were a LOT of times when Israeli courts ruled in favor of Palestinian demanding that a land that was once their family property will be
returned to them, and if some of that land would have belonged to someone then you bet it that Palestinian would go to court).
and let's say Israel will say "hi those areas are worthless let's just abandon them", what will the Palestinian response be? well last time Israel
returned some area to the Palestinians they didn't say "well it's one step closer to peace" they said "well it's one step closer to get those
jews to the sea". that last time was in 2007, now Israel is only getting rockets from that area, and the Palestinians there are ruled by a terror
organization that imposes sharia law.
so the reason behind wanting to boycott Israel is sort of justified, but the logic behind what it will achieve is false.
and Israel wants to tell that to the world but the only time the world cares what happens here is when Israel strikes back. raise your hands you heard
that Israel used drones to strike in Sinai. now raise your hands if you heard something about a rocket falling in Eilat that was lunched by a terror
group from Sinai (as a response to the drone attack (that was Israel response to intelligence that indicated that a rocket was going to be lunched
that put Eilat airport at risk)).
anyway... that's totally different from saying "combat criticism on Israel online", that's saying "please explain to those idiots that this idea
is stupid and they're stupid because they don't know what the hell they are talking about"
