What I wonder about the lunatic BDS movement, which has now reeled in the big get of Stephen Hawking, proving yet again how being really smart in one thing does not in the least bit point to excellence in anything else, what I wonder about these effete yet somehow still truculent twits is, what happens should their dimwitted efforts bring about the proximate outcome they seek and then everything goes horribly wrong? What happens when peace and justice and goodwill are not the dividends wrought but rather the ideological rapine of extremism and violence and chaos and war? Will they simply rationalise the unpleasantness away? Or truly motivated by anti-Semitism and hatred of the West will they cheer on the carnage? These people remind me of those left wing intellectuals who naively lauded Stalin's Russia and then became its pathetic apologists when they were proven to be so very, very wrong.
