Look at these photos and then tell me and the world that the Israeli bombardment of Gaza is 'necessary.'

[Nantucket]

These photos are very disturbing, personally I don't think we should be shielded from the horrors of war, but I underatnd the risk of desentisation.

Anyway,they put our academic discussions on this in perspective.

Warning: Terrible photos of children in Gaza

The hatred goes round and round, how much more hatred has been created today?

Yes sophable, agree. I've been boycotting Israeli produce for a while. It is one small thing we can do.

Please everyone if there's a demo near you, think about going on it. I was on one a couple of weeks ago and took the dc - loads of families, very relaxed, no trouble.

if lots of us do it then it will not be a small thing at all

Indeed.

Thanks for that link Sophable.

Is there a list of companies and products that we can boycott?

I try not to buy Israeli fruit etc in the supermarkets: a while back I had a bit of a dispute with sainsbury's because I bought some herbs which were from the West Bank - I contacted the head office because I wanted to know if they had been grown by a Palestinian farmer or an Israeli one but they were very vague and never really gave me a straight answer.

List, or suggested companies to boycott anyone?
