Oh, is that our criterion now? The opinion of the UN??
"Let us wait to see if Ken Loach and others who want to speak for
oppressed Arabs call for a boycott of the football world cup in Russia,
as it enables and carries out genocide in Syria."
Well, not a terribly bad idea actually. And there are a lot of other
legitimate boycott targets. I know I'm not going to have time to
participate in each. But why on earth would I (or this author) go about
trashing someone else's boycott campaign unless it was unfairly
targeting a benign entity? If you don't think some sort of action is
particularly valuable, then just don't participate, and perhaps think of
something more useful. But leave it at that.
