Boycott Israel Campaign

I could be wrong but I think the following site comes under the heading of Anti-Semitism. As the site is from UK I wonder how such things have gone un-noticed by the Politically Correct fraternity, but are they only interested in anti-Muslim insults?

Boycott Israel Campaign

I don't think you are wrong. Maybe it is to much of a hot potato for the pollies.

Seems to be enough evidence there to prove incitement even though it is under the guise of protest and boycott.

I always hoped that one day these peple could learn to live in peace however there is not a chance in hades.

I'm now going to go out of my way to buy products from the companies on those lists, just to annoy the "Beautiful People".

These ash-oles would be better off boycotting Hamas and Fatah as they are the ones which for a time have been the most proficient at killing Palestinians.

A boycott of Israeli goods may be a way of bringing about an end to the occupation of the Palestinians territory. In the case of South Africa though it may not have been the main reason or bringing about political change it probably contributed to a change.

The Palestinians for various reasons are unable to mount a successfull military campaign to bring about Israeli withdrawal. Non of the neighbouring countries is prepared to risk Israeli wrath by providing military assistance or intervening directly in the situation. It must be obvious that it does not take forty years to pack your suitcase and leave if you realy ever intend to leave. It is unlikely that a boycot of Israel will succeed given the pro Israeli bias in the west but there seems to be nothing left to try.

The relationship between Israel and the Palestinians is a very complex and politically charged one. Israel is here to stay as a Jewish state where else can they go. The Palestinians would say anywhere but not on our land, but IMHO the Palestinians have forfeited the claim by their rhetoric and invading Israel to fight four wars since 1947. Some sort of real peace agreement would seem to be the answer but the various factions of militant Islam that populate Palestine and the Muslim world today make even a start of the peace talks most unlikely, all they want is for Israel to disappear from the face of the earth as it has done from their maps! Israel is not populated solely by wealthy Jews, as a friend of mine said: there are poor working class Jews in Israel as well you know, all they want is peace and a chance to live and bring up their children in security.
The boycot will work to some degree amongst the anti-Israel groups, the 'west' (what ever that means) will back Israel as it has done for over 50 years, what do they expect? The question is who or what is backing the Palestinians and why?

[Za Rodinu]

Or why is it that the Palestinians are mostly used by the other Arab leaders as a rethorical device, and in practice they do nothing? Or do they do right the opposite as when king Hussein of Jordan had to expel them from his country (Black September) as they were simply taking over?

Why do Palestinian refugees in other countries have to still leave in refugee camps instead of being absorbed by the society at large? Why did Saddam when he invaded Kuwait say he was doing it for Palestine's sake, a move against Israel? To the applause of all Palestinians living in Kuwait, earning them a short-shrift expulsion when the rightful government took possesion again?

Bollocks!

On the humorous side of this, more than once while in the Gulf I've seen bumper stickers plastered on a car that says something like "Boycott US and Israeli products"...etc. The humor is that usually they are on vehicles like a Lincoln Navigator, Ford Crown Victoria, or Chevy Suburban. So much for do as I say......

Boycott Israel Campaign

That sort of thing has been going on since the formation of Israel in 1948
