(a few words (here in Italics) were missing in my previously sent note)

No Morton, you are not aware, you're not even making an attempt to represent what Palestinians living under Israeli sovereignty are saying and asking for.  Nor are you trying to represent Israeli opposition to their government occupation policies.

Rabbi Rosen characterized opposition to the Israeli government from within as 'langushing', thus he advocated for BDS and JVP pressure from without.

I then pointed out at efforts of many organizations in Israel, currently active against the occupation from within, including the petition of 58 12th grade students to serve in the military of the occupation.

I understand that these may provoke your comfort of reducing Israel/Palestine to shortcuts like 'apartheid' 'Zionism' and have D. Green come up with more reductions.
