    You’re misunderstanding the point of the BDS campaign. It is not about punishing the evilest country. It is about applying a type of pressure to that particular country that has a good chance of working.

    This is not an absolute moral stance like “don’t buy from evil countries”. It is a specific call from Palestinian civil society as a specific political tactic against a specific situation.

    Different situations require different tactics.
