This thread follows on from the former ' Boycott and Divestment from Israel ' discussion which was closed , according to site policy, when it exceeded 50 pages. http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/92881-boycott-divestment-israel.html Of course, there will be mixed reactions in Israel to the notion of being boycotted by the world press. It might be easier to get away with crimes against humanity, war crimes or any other fascist activities which foreign reporters take umbrage with. On the other hand, much of the internal Israeli press also takes umbrage with the activities of fascists inside Israel and reports such activities widely. No, a press boycott of Israel would simply serve to cut off Zionist propaganda and prevent the Zionist message from reaching the civilized world. Their ' security' forces will have to start treating foreigners with decency. That's not going to go down well with the rank-and-file fascists on the front line. For such people, racism is a perk of the job.
Why are you so obsessed with punishing Israel? There are probably half a hundred places around the world with worse violations of human rights than around Israel. You know why people focus on Israel? Because it is easy. Israel is a modern nation with all the comforts of the west and they pretty much allow press freedom. So western press can go to the West Bank and Gaza, prepare stories about how the Palestinians are suffering, then drive back to Tel Aviv and send their stories in surrounded by luxury and their safety guaranteed.
Why is Israel being boycotted by so many people, companies, institutions and countries ? Doesn't it occur to you that something about Zionism is wrong ? Read the article and the complaints. Don't you think that the Press Association has cause to boycott a State with such an intrusive policy ? A respected member of their association was , improperly, asked to remove her bra. Can you imagine what Palestinian women undergo at ' checkpoints' and in Zionist prisons ?
Excellent. There couldn't be a better response than Israelis boycotting Zionist fascism. It suggests that Israel will become an acceptable State once Zionism has been overcome.
At the going rate, the population majority of "Greater Israel" will rename the region to Palestine in 2015.
Israeli propaganda of the past was always aimed at young people, attempting to spread the ' message ' of the kibbutz and the righteousness of the Zionist cause. Now we can all see what a crock that was. Don't be fooled again. You can enjoy music elsewhere in the knowledge that the ' performers' aren't contributing to ethnic cleansing, apartheid, theft and murder.
This is so old.... The Arab boycott of Israel started even before the state was founded. Claiming it has to do with current events is casting sand in one's eyes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycotts_of_Israel You can have your un-moral boycott, we build a fine country with it for over 60 years, we'll do just as well in the coming years. The only ones who suffer from this are the Arabs. Instead of looking for solutions to their own problems their useless rulers use us as escape goat.
Personally I'm glad my country has the back of Israel, and we continue to support them in the fight from extermination. That's all this is, paint a stupid picture around this issue all you want, it is BS, and you know it, you want Israel exterminated. It's called genocide, look it up. Israel never asked for this, they tried to avoid this, and you monkeys can't do anything except thump your chests and scream over concocted bull. This is like Canada being destroyed, and all Canadians exterminated so Quebec can separate. Gimme a break.
Only a fool would think Israel was an ally of the U.S. The American taxpayer is compelled to pay billions to Israel, yet we get nothing in return. The Israelis even supply advanced weapons to American enemies. What gratitude! America is used by Israel. Our politicians are bought by Israel. Israel is not America's ally. U.S. Arms Sales to Israel End Up In China, Iraq
Can you believe it ? A government which fines people who object to it. What is the matter with ordinary Americans that they allow their ' representatives ' to bankroll this fascism with American taxpayers money ? Let's not forget, the people who boycott neoZionist-approved activities are boycotting illegalities. They are now, in effect, being fined for refusing to be complicit in breaking humanitarian and international law.
Because at the end of the day, Israel is only 50 odd years old. All Israel was and still is; is a place where victims from the WW2 holocaust were put. What makes them think they have any type of rights when it comes to what the palestinians do in land they've owned for generations. Especially attacking and murdering aid workers on flotilla's in international waters!
That's why so many people support the boycott, so many in fact that the Zionists are passing a law making it illegal to boycott Israel. King Canute come to mind ?
We have a fine example of this at present... Israel is willing to start WW3 in the region of the ME in direct conflict with the desires of the rest of the ME and Europe and with total disregard for the other US allies in the region.
Everyone here will be dead and buried, and Israel shall still be here. Waste your stupidity and hate on someplace else.
Sorry, I must have missed this, Can you supply a link? Margot, I think I was too busy looking at all the arab countries killing their own in peaceful revolutions.
We must ask Libya to help here. It is in the UN Human Right Council. Kadafi will sure know how to respond to the lawless Jews in Israel.
I understand that the entire Libyan UN delegation rejected Gaddafi's activities and stood down. You clearly don't. More neoZionist rabble-rousing exposed and dispelled.
They did what Kadafi told them until he went down. Kadafi is the face of the UN right council. 155 courtiers supported him for sitting there. the same courtiers (and you) who condemn Israel. Hypocrites never die, they just change master...
