Boycott goes prime-time in Israel

That BDS MOVEMENT Is just growing and growing and growing.

Thank you God, to you is owed all credit.

You take care of Injustices like Occupation in Palestine, in your way and your timing.


Boycott goes prime-time in Israel

The country’s number-one news show runs lengthy piece on the growing movement – and blames it not on anti-Semitism or Israel-bashing, but on settlements.

"On Saturday night the boycott of Israel gained an impressive new level of mainstream recognition in this country. Channel 2 News, easily the most watched, most influential news show here, ran a heavily-promoted, 16-minute piece on the boycott in its 8 p.m. prime-time program. The piece was remarkable not only for its length and prominence, but even more so because it did not demonize the boycott movement, it didn’t blame the boycott on anti-Semitism or Israel-bashing. Instead, top-drawer reporter Dana Weiss treated the boycott as an established, rapidly growing presence that sprang up because of Israel’s settlement policy and whose only remedy is that policy’s reversal."

Dana Weiss ridicules the settlers and the government’s head-in-the-sand reaction to the rising tide.

The Channel 2 news segment from the Occupied West Bank’s Barkan Industrial Park opens against a background of twangy guitar music like from a Western.

“To the world it’s a black mark, a symbol of the occupation, But here they insist it’s actually a point of light in the area, an island of coexistence that continues to flourish despite efforts to erase it from the map.”

The news segment depicts a factory owner who moved his business to Barkan from the other side of the Green Line who makes a fool of himself by saying, “If the state would only assist us by boycotting the Europeans and other countries causing us trouble …”

The Channel 2 news segment ends with the manager of Shamir Salads saying that between the European and Palestinian boycott, he’s losing about $115,000 to $143,000 a month in sales.

“In my view,” he says, “it will spread from [the West Bank] to other places in Israel that have no connection to the territories.”

Shekel Strengthens as Israel Lifts 2013 Economic Growth Outlook

Israel’s shekel strengthened for a second day and government bonds fell after the country’s Finance Ministry raised its 2013 growth forecast for the economy, boosting investor demand for riskier assets.

The shekel rose 0.2 percent to 3.7834 a dollar at 4:41 p.m. in Tel Aviv, the sixth-best performer among an expanded list of 31 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The currency gained 0.9 percent this month. The yield on the 5.5 percent benchmark bonds due January 2022 increased for the first time since Dec. 4, adding one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 3.71 percent.

Israel’s economy may expand 3.5 percent next year, the Finance Ministry said yesterday, revising an earlier forecast of 3 percent to include the effect of natural gas discoveries, with the offshore Tamar field set to start production by the second quarter next year. Israel posted a current account surplus in the third quarter, its first in a year, as imports declined, the Central Bureau of Statistics said yesterday.

Larry "Pull It" Silverman, the crook who got a 99 year lease on the WTC and multiple insurance policies before the WTC fires turned the buildings to dust, and even has the chutzpah to be suing airline companies, had many American corporations move some operations to the zionist regime. A poison pill kind of thing. So unfortunately any economic pressure on the zionist regime will be passed along to the US taxpayer.

No what he proposed was a tax free zone in Israel, but the proposal was turned down. It was not about US firms.
Silverman is paying millions every month for real estate that does not exist any more, but he is well diversified.

Oh, boy, is it costing Zionists in Palestine lots of money!

NOPE it is costing the itinerant muslim farm workers their jobs, and ultimately their lives. No work = no money=no home=no food= starvation or leave. Is that what you are applauding the deaths of thousands of poor starving muslim children. Then you call others for daring to question the hamas terrorists attacks on Israel and here you are laughing at the prospect of thousands of innocent lives being lost.

HAVE YOU NO SHAME

Will it when iran is prepared to buy all of Israel's fruit. All that will happen is the Jews will stop employing the muslims and they will have to move elsewhere. Then Israel will import workers from other nations to do the work and the Palestinians will blame YOU for the even bigger mess you have caused.

Freedom has its cost. Always has. Always will.

Israel's Future discussed:

"Weiss: “What does this all mean? What is it going to be like here? South Africa?”

Livni: “Yes. I spoke with some of the Jews who are living n South Africa now. They say, ‘We thought we had time. We thought we could deal with this. We thought we didn’t need the world so much for everything. And it happens all at once.’”"

I agree .... Much of what is sold as Made in Israel.. comes from the West Bank.

Freedom has costs for all people in a society.

It never comes free.

Take free speech, the truth can hurt, words can hurt, but using our voices and speaking truth into this world is a value worth the cost.

I expect the people of South Africa understand this.

Mandela understood this.

I think of the thousands jailed most from just words spoken or associations in Palestine.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

Palestinian Christians support BDS.

Kairos Palestine expresses this support for BDS.

Economic boycott is a modern day form of STARVATION SIEGE----which was
a mode used in medieval times -----to some extent in europe but for MASSIVE genocide
during the GLORIOUS AGE OF ISLAMIC CONQUEST-----with which the ummah murdered
hundreds of millions. A recent example is the starvation genocide of
BIAFRANS in Nigeria of more than two million-----infants lay dead in the dust---
starved to death for the glory of isa/alla----1971 A starvation siege was
imposed on JEWISH EAST JERUSALEM in the mid 1940s with the same optimism
that sherri expresses for the current starvation siege called BDS

In fact-----since 1949------optimistic genocidal dogs and pigs have ALREADY
IMPOSED a comprehensive economic boycott on Israel-----so far----it simply has
not worked out as well as such starvation sieges have in the past----- right now---
the only places in which the genocidal dogs have been VERY SUCCESSFUL in
lining the streets with dead babies have been CITIES OF THE UMMAH----
based on the usual barbaric brutality-----and to a far lesser extent---
forced starvation
