193. I just re-read the whole article,
and noticed something seemingly said to justify the impact that sanctions would have on Israel's arts and educational communities, despite their lack of any obvious connection to Israeli policy decisions.

It is clear that even cultural dialogue with the Israeli establishment has only proven to normalize the occupation. Tutu once declared, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Now is not the time to be neutral, nor the time to be reticent; it is the time to act.

So then, if you are not with us then you are against us? Sounds familiar.

I always found it interesting how the rhetoric and tactics of the far right and the far left increasingly resemble each other the further along one travels in either direction, eventually becoming almost totally indistinguishable from one another. For instance, the biggest difference between Stalin and Hitler was probably their mustache style.
