Brian Goldman Position: Host of CBC show White Coat, Black Art Quote: “Now that the world knows that Hamas terrorists brutally killed and decapitated innocent civilians, Israel has every right as a sovereign nation to eradicate this threat on its doorstep.” A Twitter user replied: “Not via collective punishment, though - that isn’t justice for anyone.” Goldman then responded: “Collective punishment is a loaded political term. Have you seen the atrocities Hamas has committed? How do you suggest dealing with Hamas?” Source: Twitter (since deleted) Date: October 11
Screencap from Twitter. Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD Thread that explains why Israel is doing what it’s doing wrt Gaza far better than I can. Quote Prof Gerald M Steinberg @GeraldNGOM · 11 Oct 2023 3 non-Israeli news presenters asked me the same question: "why is Israel punishing all Palestinians in Gaza for the action of a few terrorists?".

3) Normalization in the International Context In the international arena, normalization does not operate all that differently and follows the same logic. While the BDS movement targets complicit Israeli institutions, in the case of normalization there are other nuances to consider. Generally, international supporters of BDS are asked to refrain from participating in any event that morally or politically equates the oppressor and oppressed, and presents the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis as symmetrical [5]. Such an event should be boycotted because it normalizes Israel’s colonial domination over Palestinians and ignores the power structures and relations embedded in the oppression.
