Boycott Israel

[Sixties Fan]

Waters is saying that he is not antisemitic - because Arabs are semites, and therefore it is Israel that is antisemitic, not him.

This is one of the oldest and dumbest arguments in the book. The definition of anti-semitism is in every dictionary, and it is Waters' Palestinian pets who are antisemitic, as is Waters himself based on plenty of evidence.

Given that the number of Presbyterians nationwide is about to fall below the number of Jews just in New York, it’s also not clear why we need to take what they say any more seriously than they listen to us.

When I was more directly involved with helping those fighting anti-Israel bigotry in the church, I was frequently accused of being an outsider with no real concern for PCUSA and its members, beyond what they were saying about Israel. As I responded then (and continue to respond now): while it’s true I never would have come into PCUSA’s orbit had they not chosen to get into my face in such an aggressive manner, I’m perfectly comfortable that Israel will survive the slings and arrows of a hypocritical and dying organization.

Waters stepped on a dark path long ago.
That character in The Wall was a great insight into his shadow.

He didn't menage to get out of that character.

The 1993 Oslo Accords divided Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank') into Areas A,B and C, with only C under Israeli jurisdiction, A and B self governed by the Palestinian Authority. All Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria are in Area C, (and only 4% of the region's Arabs) on lands which are legally termed "disputed territories" in international forums. The anti-Israel bias prevalent in those forums and in the media has given rise to the false term "occupied territories."


According to Haaretz, the petition stated:

“Sir, – We, concerned citizens of Israel, are writing to you regarding the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018, which was brought to our attention and which is due to be debated in Seanad Éireann on January 30th. We urge Ireland to support any legislation that will help enforce differentiation between Israel per se and the settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.



We are convinced that Israel’s ongoing occupation of the Palestinian land in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is morally and strategically unsustainable, is detrimental to peace, and poses a threat to the security of Israel itself. While Ireland, along with the rest of the EU, considers the occupation illegal, it continues to economically sustain it by trading with illegal Israeli settlements established in clear and direct violation of international law.

As people who care deeply for Israel’s future and long for our country to live in peace with its neighbors, we urge you to support the aforementioned Bill."

Those who signed included leaders of the New Israel Fund and its beneficiaries including:

• Naomi Chazan- Director in the NIF, who served as president of the New Israel Fund from 2008-2012.
• Avrum Burg- Member of the NIF international council. (Burg has declared that “Zionism is over,”, that Israeli society is fascist and violent, due to continuing trauma over the Holocaust, and claimed that “to define the State of Israel as a Jewish state is the key to its end. “
• Itzhak Galnoor- Member of the NIF international council.
• Miki Kratsman - Breaking the Silence`s Board of Directors Chairman. Breaking the Silence is the infamous organization that blackens the name of IDF soldiers. It has been shown over and over to be lying and is banned from lecturing in the Israeli school system.

And there are others.

Leicester City Council 'anti-Semitism' claims dismissed

• 4 July 2018

A legal bid challenging Leicester City Council's boycott of some Israeli goods has been defeated.

The authority began boycotting goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank after passing a motion in 2014, saying it opposed "continuing illegal occupation" of Palestinian territory.

This led to legal action from Jewish Human Rights Watch (JHRW), but the Court of Appeal dismissed their bid.

'Anti-Semitic' council claim dismissed

It issued a statement condemning visits from"Israeli officials including ministers, members of Knesset, military, security, ultra-Orthodox and extremist settlers" - pretty much anyone with a yarmulka.

This direct call to violate international law on freedom of practicing religion was accompanied by a call for the international community to enforce discrimination against Jews.

"The ministry warns of acceptance of daily intrusions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its courtyards as a matter that has become familiar and normal and does not necessitate a halt to its serious repercussions. This requires the international community and the relevant UN organizations, especially UNESCO, to implement and implement its resolutions on Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque," the statement said.

Because allowing Jews to peacefully stroll through the Temple Mount is utterly unacceptable, and banning them is "human rights."

Hmmmm. Just yesterday P F Tinmore was complaining about access for people from certain religion to their Holy Places. Wonder if he will condemn this? Probably not, Jerusalem is a city for three religions, but not the Jewish one.

Support for the Palestinians gathers pace in Trump’s America

Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from the UN Human Rights Commission was an attempt to shield Israel from accountability, but it may have backfired among voters in his own backyard. Support for the Palestinians is gathering pace in Trump’s America.

If you dance to Tel Aviv’s tune — and, sadly, Trump does — then you believe that the only folk who support Palestinians are either religion-hating, secular Lefties or radical Islamists and Hamas cheerleaders who hang out on the fringes of society. The reality is quite different. This was illustrated admirably at a remarkable gathering of mainstream American Christians over the weekend in St Louis, Missouri when the Presbyterian Church overwhelmingly adopted a number of robust resolutions in solidarity with Palestine at its 223rd General Assembly.

There’s nothing fringe about this US church which represents nearly 1.5 million American citizens. They voted in large numbers to support Palestinians with resolutions on everything from opposing legislation which challenges the growing boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign, to defending the right to call Israel a colonial state. They were helped along the way by many interfaith groups, including Muslims and Jews as well as people of other faiths and none.

The Trump administration likely isn’t done cutting welfare payments to the Islamic terrorist Pal’istanians. US government payments dwarf anything a church group could muster.

First world nations are quickly coming to grips with the fact that their welfare payments to Arabs-Moslems are used to further Islamic terrorism.

Ireland expected to pass bill boycotting Israel settlement produce

Ireland’s Senate is expected to pass a bill today that would prohibit “the import and sales of goods, services and natural resources originating in illegal [Israeli] settlements in occupied territories”, reported
Haaretz, despite the government’s opposition.

According to the paper, “at Israel’s urging”, the Irish government “sought to soften the language” of the bill “but was unable to reach a compromise”. Now, Haaretz reported, “the bill is expected to pass, thanks to votes from opposition legislators and independents”.

In a recent interview, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said he planned to oppose the bill, and did not expect it to pass.

However, now that “three opposition parties – Labour, Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail – have announced that they will support the bill”, as well as “several independents”, the “bill is now expected to pass”.
