A bit Political. CWed for Length 

@skulljudenfreund Bassem Eid is a cool dude. He is a true human rights activist. I will be one of the first people to say that Israel is not perfect, and has certainly made mistakes. At the same time, it is all the more disgusting how the Palestinian people are used so cynically by their leaders and the rest of the world.

BDS shut down the Sodastream factory in the West Bank that hired a whole load of Palestinians. It was a show of how our peoples could work together to economic and social benefit.

It didn't help any Palestinian who was working there. They're all out of jobs.

Bassem Eid, though, tells it like it is to both sides and that's what we need- that kind of honesty is a must.
