So who will join me in promising to boycott all israeli products from today?

[seeker]

Seeker.

No, I'm saving the baby's blood to make matzo for Passover.

Doesnt take long to get to the real motives behind much of the bds movement, does it?

Could I share some of the matzo....it sounds delicious.

Poor me poor me pour me a drink!

I am going to boycott Julie Burchill.

Just doing my bit

Can I share some of the drink maami, it would go down nicely with shatshukas matzo.

And, for the record, i think the Israeli occupation is wrong. Ending the occupation and reaching a sustainable peace with the Palestinians is essential for both Israelis and Palestinians.

But i think the boycott is unfair, singling out Israel despite far worse human rights abuses in many other countries, ineffective and counter productive as it undermines the Israeli left .

The boycott is far more about boycotters feeling good about themselves than achieving change.

Nope... You might steal that too.

^^this. And it kind of proves the point when those boycotting are not even aware of current protests and relevant situations.

Nope... You might steal that too.

Why what was the first thing that I have stolen? Please read my posts and identify the part where it states I have stolen anything or used or purchased anything that you believe I have stolen.
Talk about making things up.

Imo it is the ONLY productive and peaceful way that is likely to have an effect. It worked in south africa...it will work here again. How will it undermine the left? They are already undermined...they hardly have a voice.

Still What other way do you suggest that will work more effectively..?

Missunreasonable:

You did claim to enjoy buying stolen goods from kedem no? Hence the idea that you might be into that sort of thing..

I have thought about reporting your last posts maami

But on reflection, I think they should stay as a record of what the BDS movement are really about.

Dont report it. . Let it stay. Althoughi suspect maami may ask for it to be deleted if s/he has any shame.

No I did not say that I bought any kedem products. Go back and read my post. I said that I wasn't aware of kedem until the protests and when I looked I realised that they sold luxury products that had rave reviews and that some people had bought things from them after being made aware they existed due to the protests.
I did not say I purchased anything. Do not make things up. Learn to read things properly.

Reflect on this: buying goods knowingly stolen from the palestinians.. is STOLEN GOODS whichever way you look at it.

And to be clear I am referring to her posts of 15:50 and the one after that which are now on the previous page

can i ask how many of you will stop using your mobile phones as they all use technology developed in israel?

FFS learn to read and stop pretending that I bought anything from kedem.

Can i ask you to bring forth some evidence rather than hot air?

It undermines the Israeli left since most Israelis, quite rightly, see the bds movement as unfairly singling out and demonizing Israel.

This means that the israeli left have to defend themselves from being associated with movements like bds, which openly support the destruction of the state of israel.

It makes it far harder to acheive change internally and encourages a bunker mentality.

Israel was bboycotted from 1948 to the 1990s. It made no difference then either.

Could you do the same about your claims of me buying stolen goods.

Yes, I am now in need of a new shampoo because I always use a Garnier product, and that is on the list of companies that support the IDF

And about UEFA.

A quick search shows that 'the only 6 counties' is 6 out of 19, including counties like Sweden.

A look at Israel's proposal in the report shows it was quite crap compared to others.

Pretty disingenuous (and desperate) for the bds movement to claim credit for Israel not hosting UEFA 2020.

Israel's not hosting the Olympics either :)

Maami, I think a $6bn deal with Intel as linked to earlier is not hot air.

That's an awful lot of processors and computer equipment to avoid.

How does a shampoo support the IDF?
