you got it twisted Boycotting Israelis warmongering is in no way discrimination against Jews. However for the government to punish corporations who boycott wars they is just plain tyranny -Yuri
BDS only targets Jewish Israelis, not Arab, Christian, Muslim or Buddhist, only Jews. Singling out those of a certain ethnic group is racist. This is why reading all the latest anti BDS legislations being passed puts a big smile on my face. BDS activists can shove Israeli cucumbers up their ass for all I care lol. Leading House Republican and Democrat Introduce Anti-BDS Resolution http://forward.com/news/breaking-news/318430/leadi... The top Republican and Democrat on the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee introduced a resolution urging the Obama administration to increase its activities against any boycott of Israel. ..........
The non-binding resolution, introduced July 30 by Reps. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) and Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) The language notably does not mention “Israeli controlled territories,†which appeared in a controversial amendment to a trade law Congress passed in June that mandated U.S. trade officials raise their concerns about Israel boycotts in their interactions with counterparts from other countries. The Obama administration has said it will not observe that portion of the law because it does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank.
*Only Israelis Kinda like how boycott wallmart only boycotts wallmart Are you understanding what a boycott is? What do Arabs make that we buy in the first world? Should I boycott Isis? I will boycott them just tell me, do they even make anything? <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' > Singling out those of a certain ethnic group is racist. </blockquote>OK then boycott Israel is not racist. Its boycotting a country for its hostile actions against its neighbors. The idea is to stop funding slaughter. It has nothing to do with being Jewish. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' > This is why reading all the latest anti BDS legislations being passed puts a big smile on my face.

If this is true, than it's because of the racist hiring polices of Israeli businesses. You mean there are no employees of companies targeted by the BDS campaign that are not Jewish. Probably much easier for an Israeli Jew to open a business in Israel that it is for an Arab. So you agree, Jew only roads are racist? The law that states a Palestinian flag cannot be raised in Israel is a racist law?
Young African-Americans facing heavily armed police in the streets of Baltimore and Ferguson over the past year have compared their situation to that of Palestinians under Israeli fire, telling reporters that their conditions were “like Gaza.†On Tuesday, black racial-justice activists took the comparison a step further, issuing a statement linking their cause with that of Palestinians, and putting their weight behind the growing boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. The BDS campaign, modeled after the mass movement to isolate South Africa during the apartheid era, aims to pressure Israel through tactics of economic and cultural isolation into ending its occupation of Palestinian territories and adhering to international law in its treatment of Palestinians. Tuesday's statement - signed by more than 1,000 black activists, artists, scholars, politicians, students and representatives of organizations - proclaimed their “solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and commitment to the liberation of Palestine's land and people.†A Pew study at the height of last year's Gaza war found that 43 percent of African-American respondents favored Israel in the conflict, while 20 percent supported the Palestinians. But Israeli media report fears that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign against President Barack Obama's Iran diplomacy has alienated black elected leaders, and the Reverend Al Sharpton has called on black churches to lobby in support of the nuclear agreement - which Israel has taken a lead in trying to stop. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.pre...
What do you think about Neturei Karta Jews? Just wondering. Do you think of them as lesser Jews because they believe Israel has no right to exist until their Messiah comes and trying to steal the land back is an extreme sin, and against the will of God
how can anyone in America have the nerve to compare themselves to Palestine? Victim complex.... -Yuri
Interactive piece from Al Jazerra regarding the Occupation of Gaza. http://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2015/gazalife...
United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE) became the first national union in the United States to heed the 2005 call made by Palestinian civil society groups for a global Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to protest Israeli violations of international law. Gotta get the dock workers union on board.
The days when the Israelis and US could bully other countries into supporting their genocidal regimes are fading rapidly. "Palestinians overwhelmingly won the right to fly their national flag in front of the United Nations headquarters, a symbolic step opposed by Israel and the United States. The change was made by the UNGeneral Assembly, when a vast majority of member countries voted in favour of a resolution granting what are known as non-member observer states the right to fly their flags alongside member states.Palestine became an observer state in 2012." http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/palestinians-win-approval-to-fly-flag-at-un-1.2348456
Glenn Greenwald who reported on the NSA and has won awards has a new report Dianne Feinstein and multi-millionaire military contracter husband behind new college PC rules. In the words of Glenn Greenwald: "The obvious goal of this UC battle is to institutionalize the notion on American college campuses that activism against the Israeli Government is not "merely wrong" but is actually "hate speech" that should subject its student-advocates (or professors) to severe punishment" https://theintercept.com/2015/09/25/dianne-feinste...
