October 6, 2008 at 9:04 am (Boycott Israel, DesertPeace Editorial, Israel, Palestine)
Now, more than ever, sanctions must be brought against Israel in response to the crimes committed against the people of Palestine.
A new government will soon be formed here, a government that will continue with the same policies as the old one.
The world must let this government know that what they are doing is totally unacceptable.
The best way to do this is to put into effect the economic and cultural boycott against Israel.
The last thing Israel wants is an effective boycott against them as can be seen in this pathetic video they produced….
BUT…. the following is what the boycott REALLY is about….
People of good conscience have chosen to boycott Israeli products and companies supporting the zionist entity. Their ethical purchasing decision however is frustrated by the lack of accurate information as to which companies to boycott.
We have carried out extensive research to identify the guilty companies. All our findings are provided here. Where ever possible, we have included full references for the source of our information so that you may independently verify its accuracy and understand exactly how each company is contributing its support to Israel. We thank all those organizations who’s research we have utilized.
We suggest you start with the Boycott Israel Frequently Asked Questions page – it will clarify what the boycott is about.
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT THE CONTINUATION OF MASS MURDER AND OCCUPATION….. BOYCOTT ISRAEL NOW!

While we’re at it, we should also boycott the Palestinian Authority for their outright support of terrorism. And we should also boycott ALL of the Arab countries for their continued support of and funding of Palestinian terrorism. And we should boycott all countries that have commercial dealings with the Arab states for they are contributing monetarily to these despotic regimes who fund Palestinian terrorism.

joelsk44039 this is for you…… When Israel has a whole nation locked away in concentration camps ops sorry refugee camps on their own land for 60 years, yes 60 years what would you suggest the people of Palestine do???? As far as I am concerned Israel and their criminal Zionists government are the Terrorists.
And while we are boycotting Israel, how about extending the boycott to All Zionists companies including the Media and the products they advertise…. How about that joelsk44039 ?????

@joelsk44039: Ok deal. But boycotting Saudi Arabia is going to screw up the oil supply. Hmmm.
I think you’ll agree that sanctions are blunt instruments and punish the people of a given country more than the government that invite the sanctions in the first place.
Anyhow. The defense that other countries are worse is not really a valid response to valid criticism. If I were to say Saudi Arabia is bad on human rights one could hardly accept the defense that Iran is worse.
I guess the moral in this message is this: Stop deflecting the criticism and answer the charges!

That’s a good way to shift the focus from the essential to the rhetorical, Mr. Joel.

One man’s “terrorist” is another man’s “freedom fighter.” Depends purely on which side of suffering one is on. Golly, the Gulag Gaza sure seems like a concentration camp. However and admittedly, perception can be everything. Boycott Ziofascism wherever it rears it’s venomous ugly head! Apartheid IS the real thing.

The problem with any boycott is what Israel does have will be rationed in order to Israeli Jews, Israeli non-Jews, non-Israelis. Needless to say the non-Israelis will get next to nothing at all. That includes all the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
To say it simply, the Palestinians are hostages to any boycott.
Matt Giwer said,

As for boycotting Palestinians, the last time I looked into the Hague treaty on Land Warfare (Hague V) and the Geneva Conventions, resistance to occupation is lawful. Both Israel’s AG and Supreme Court have declared the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza and the Golan Heights are under belligerent occupation as defined in the above.
The occupied have the right to attack any member of the Israeli military, on or off duty, active or reserve, at any time and at any place. Given Israel have universal military service for Jews it is bad luck if any group of five or more does not have at least one member of the military in it. That makes the attack unquestionably lawful and the rest are collateral damage.
Additionally, the Palestinians have the right to attack any military asset. In Israel the buses are used to move troops and are thus a military asset whether or not there are passengers on them at the time of the attack.
Israel does not administer the occupied territories to the benefit of the occupied people thus making its occupation prima facia criminal. Thus not only is the resistance legal but also killing any member of the resistance is plain and simple murder.
Is there anything else Izziehuggers want to know?

Saudi Arabia is not worse. It doesnt control the west’s major propaganda -information organs. Israel does. S.A. doesnt get billions of our tax dollars to then torture others, and spy on us. S.A. doesnt dominate our foreign policy (or we’d have turned on Israel long ago). If I criticize S.A. no one sues me and I do not live in fear. But criticize Israel, or even make art about your own religion- like Mel Gibson- and you are wiped out as if you were beheaded from society. This kind of consolidate power needs be nipped. Boycott Extraordinaire. And that includes the Hollywood anti-Arab machine.

Hey, Joel, you sound like a really, really clever guy, so maybe you could answer me this:
If your so-called Palestinian terrorism is being funded by all those evil, oil-rich Arab states, why is it that the average Palestinian terrorist can only afford to toss a few rocks at the idf on the way to school? I mean, with all that funding, shouldn’t even kindergarten kids be flying stealth bombers or some such?
ISRAEL=60 years of RACIST LOW-IQ GREASY DOUCHE-BAGS CLAIMING THAT A HOLOCAUST THAT NEVER HAPPENED GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO RAPE AND MURDER ALL WHO OPPOSE THEM.
Let’s Boycott this disgusting country out of existence.

“We The People” of the United Snakes of America need to educate each other about the crimes against humanity the ZioNazi leadership of Nazi Israel is doing to the millions of prisoners they murder, starve, rape, rob, torture, terrorize, and dehumanize in Palestine and the illegal wars they visit upon sovereign nations whose WATER and OIL they covet enough to murder women and children for.
We also must educate each other that Nazi Israel IS NOT A “JEWISH STATE”.
The ZioNazi leadership does as much damage to world Jewry as they do to those they intend to exterminate.
We must teach also each other not to blame the Jews for what is being done in their good name, because the ZioNazis have also soiled the good name of America with their state run Lobbyist group called “AIPAC” that is merely a collection of Shin Bet, MOSSAD, and IDF TERRORISTS. Their roots and present day tactics, politics, mentality, ideology, and intentions show that they are nothing but Irgun and Stern clones who have no moral compass, GENOCIDE on the brain and an instability of greed, blood lust, and a baseless psychotic revenge for imaginary “injustices” committed against their persons in biblical times.
A television show “The Sopranos” is where people like the ZioNazis are accurately portrayed. in persona, psyche, intelligence, morality and agendae. The ZioNazis are the same kind of animals that “Tony Soprano” and his associates are:. “life mimicking art” in the most bestial manner possible. These people don’t have any compunction about murdering old women and children. “Tony soprano” would never think of such a monstrous thing; The typical ZioNazi would!
These animals have put the REAL JEWS in mortal danger everywhere you look. these animals have used their terrorism on Jews and all Americans with their corruption of American legislators to instigate war after war.
We Americans are beginning to see that it is foolish to support Nazi Israel in any way. We will soon have the numbers our law makers can not ignore when we demand that all U.S. aid to Nazi stop. That will be the ultimate BOYCOTT!
As an individual; I have boycotted all Nazi Israeli imports for over 6 years. I urge shop keepers not to carry Nazi Israeli imports. I covertly damage Nazi Israeli imports in stores to make them unusable. I suggest that others do the same.
I have divested my holdings in the financial markets of all companies who do business with Nazi Israel as well as direct Nazi Israeli interests in my country. I have also paid off all my credit cards because it is almost impossible to know which card issuers support Nazi Israel.
Nazi Israeli influence in my country is the reason the economy is slipping into a GREAT DEPRESSION.
For those who can keep their minds open just long enough to listen to the Arab world AND the extremists will hear a common thread: “Nazi Israel is a terrorist pseudo “theocracy” that is practicing GENOCIDE on the Islamic and Christian people of the Arab world” They will also hear that “America supports, AND PARTICIPATES with Nazi Israel in the GENOCIDE of the Islamic and Christian peoples of the Arab world.
We Americans; are not “Hated because we are free” we are hated because of the GENOCIDE. Jews are not hated because they are Jews; Jews are hated because FALSE JEWS are committing GENOCIDE in the name of Judea.
Innocent Christians, Jews, Muslim, and Arab people are suffering and dying together because of a select few Racist, criminal, entrepreneurs; hold no ones interest at heart but their own savage interests and intents to obtain ABSOLUTE POWER. No one; but them, will benefit. Those who are naive enough to believe they will be OK because “MY PEOPLE” are in power are in for a very sad and horrific awakening.
The boycott is beginning to have a negative impact, We must keep the pressure on and ramp it up a few thousand degrees. There must be no compromises. There must be trials at the Hague and executions. “Zionism” must be outlawed as was the swastika and the parallel ideology of a “MASTER RACE”. There never was one. There also are no “CHOSEN”.
God only speaks to ones heart. Those who have claimed to hear his voice instructing them to shed another humans blood is crazy or a ZIONIST THUG.

As shown by this piece of Israeli propaganda, the compulsion to do good is an innate Zionist – Jewish trait. Only Zionists seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to stealing land, ethnic cleansing and bombing the Pan- Arab people into the acceptance of gifts. For this reason all Israeli goods and services MUST be boycotted.

Joel, what about Israels boycott on Iran’s oil??
How’s that working out for you??
Just because you purchase it from a third party doesn’t make it less Iranian.
Practice what you preach.
BTW love the site. Welcome back and keep up the great work. Your pissin the right people off.

joelsk44039….. are you really from this planet?, where did you get your education from?
Saudi Arabia is not Israel therefore why would we boycott them??? And as far as human rights are concerned have you not noticed since 911 all human rights have been suspended worldwide!!!!!! We, thats you and me and everyone else are considered terrorists before anything else.
And as far as sanctions and Israel are concerned, who cares about the people of Israel, this is their government and they and only they alone can take responsibility. The Zionist have highjacked their religion and government, and have put each Jewish person at risk worldwide.
So lets sanction, boycott, seal off Israel and see how they like being prisoners and treated the way they have treated those HERO’S in Palinstine.

I’m boycotting Israeli garbage, including and not the least the Dead Sea hand lotion and kits sold in Malls by Israeli cretins.
Kick them out of the Malls. Complain to Mall management and boycot the Mall until they are tossed out.

And for the love of GOD, get off using Israel and Saudi Arabia in the same sentence. Saudi Arabia never claimed (nor can it ever claim) that it is a beacon of democracy, especially in a region that is in desperate need of it. Israel is not only rich and powerful, but seemingly humanitarian (to their own) and progressive- but to hell with owning up to any sort of legal, ethical, or international responsibilitynot to mention leading by example. America’s Hero is the world’s Zero. Something about buying an honest product from a dishonest salesman…eeee!
