Boycott goes prime-time in Israel

[theliq]

That's not very sporting of you, Sweetness. What about those Palestinian workers trying to feed their families?

As SLAVE LABOUR in their own land,Stop Talking SHIT Hoss.....all the Palestinian workers get is a FEW SHEKELS,whist the Occupationist get the BIG BUCKS.

but have a nice day all the same,Hoss..steve

I hope everyone takes note that Steve will never ever mention the way the foreign workers such as the Hindus are treated as virtual slaves in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the oil-rich countries. Here he is posting on a Middle East forum, and he will not say one word about what is going on there. Maybe he thinks he is the paymaster for those employing the Palestinians and knows just what everyone is being paid. Is that it, Steve? You make out the pay envelopes?

Well in some cases I completely agree with you but the MOSLEM's (From Pakistan,Bangladesh mainly,as Hindus I think there would be few)Are very poor in their own countries, can in a few years become extremely wealthy and the money they send home has a massive impact on their families back home.....I have seen the difference when new workers arrive in all parts of the Gulf,they are thin in comparison to the worker returning home,who are really beefed up both men a women......so these guest workers really benefit from the opportunity to work in the Gulf states.Don't ever say I basically know nothing because I'm up to speed on everything,most of the time as you know

It is completely the opposite for the Palestinians.I "never" said anything about it because I was talking about the plight of the Palestinians which nothing to do with the situation for the Muslums in the Gulf.

But you should be more concerned by the wages in the US....what is it now $6 or $4 bucks an hour.....awful....our lowest paid employee is $24 per hour and we employ over 300 team members.steve

Roskam, Lipinski Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Academic Freedom by Preventing Academic Boycott of Israel

Feb 6, 2014 Press Release - US House of Representatives website - Congressman Roskam's section of the website.

...

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Reps. Peter Roskam (R-IL) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) introduced the bipartisan Protect Academic Freedom Act (H.R. 4009) to address the growing threat of unjustified boycotts against the Jewish State of Israel. In December 2013, the American Studies Association (ASA) became the second major educational organization to adopt an academic boycott of Israel. This measure would block federal funding for American universities engaging in a boycott of Israeli academic institutions or scholars to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to fund bigoted attacks against Israel that undermine the fundamental principles of academic freedom.

“This bipartisan legislation seeks to preserve academic freedom and combat bigotry by shielding Israel from unjust boycotts. It is ludicrous for critics to go after our democratic friend and ally Israel when they should be focusing on the evils perpetrated by repressive, authoritarian regimes like Iran and North Korea,” said Congressman Roskam, the Chief Deputy Whip and co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus. “These boycotts not only threaten educational cooperation between the United States and Israel, but ultimately undermine the academic goals of all nations. Congress has a responsibility to fight back against these hateful campaigns, which contradict academic freedom and are designed to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel. I’m so thankful for the wisdom and leadership of Ambassador Michael Oren, who has helped raise awareness for this important effort.”

“As a former university professor, I appreciate the value of academic exchanges involving universities and individuals, particularly between strong international allies with robust academic programs like the United States and Israel. Scholarship and research should be about the pursuit of knowledge, and universities have been and always should be a community where different opinions and ideas are encouraged and nourished," said Congressman Dan Lipinski. "The boycott of U.S.-Israeli academic exchanges proposed by the American Studies Association and Association of Asian American Studies would lead to negative effects on educational and research institutions in both nations. I am proud to join Rep. Roskam in introducing legislation that would help assure that no federal funds would go to any American university that would consider this ill-conceived boycott and thus deter U.S. based academic institutions from joining it."

"The Protect Academic Freedom Act represents the first legislation that defends Israel against discriminatory boycotts which impede rather than advance the peace process and that seek to deny Israelis the right to free speech on American campuses,” said former Ambassador Michael Oren. “As a citizen of Israel and its former ambassador to the United States, as well as an historian and visiting professor on leading American campuses, I strongly support this courageous initiative. It can be the turning point in the struggle against the delegitimization of the Jewish State."

That is not true.

This bill is based on a lie.

But then again, just about everything about Israel is based on lies.

Israel simply hasn't killed enough palestinian children, there are still plenty to be suicide bombers. Israel needs to do a better job.

be not bitter. the kids are not at fault----its their parents---
and those who support the actions of their parents and trivialize
the filth to which the children are exposed. The poor kids are
something like "hitler's youth"------not their fault. They are victims
of child abuse

Considering you know nothing about the Israel - Palestine conflict, and you brainwashed by Arab propaganda beyond reparation, this comment is not surprising

I don't support a boycott of Israel but I do support a boycott of all products manufactured, grown, or produced in the settlements.

That's not very sporting of you, Sweetness. What about those Palestinian workers trying to feed their families?

Why would Israeli settlers hire Palestinians to make their products?

Every project needs its shit-shovelers... something the Palestinians excel at?

 

[Victory67]

Well if that's the case and Israelis are making profits off the backs of non-Jewish labor in illegal settlements, those products should be boycotted.

If you want to deprive Palestinians of paychecks, go right ahead... better to shovel shit than starve... but you know best...

No doubt many Afrikaners employeed black South Africans to make them profit, but those products were also boycotted when we boycotted Apartheid South Africa.

True.

The Black South African population wasn't stupid enough to get herded into a postage-stamp -sized piece of land, only to start launching rocket barrages at their antagonists...

The Black South Africans were FAR smarter and tougher than the pissant Palestinians...
