How is the boycott going?

Even Holocaust survivors and their descendents have had enough of Zionist Israel's attempts at genocide, "We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!"

If Israel was committing genocide, how comes the disproportionate amount of dead and injured in Gaza are adult males between 18 and 45?

Completely irrelevant.

Art. 2.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Group?

What group?

Hamas shoots rockets into Israel, Israel retaliates by targeting Hamas, and you say Israel is omitting genocide by targeting a group? The only group Israel is targeting is its enemy Hamas who constantly declares its intention for genocide against Israel and Jews.

And your points D and E above are a joke.

So Hamas committing a genocide to Israelis - what's new?

So Hamas committing a genocide to Israelis - what's new?

Hamas and the UN are complicit in committing genocide to the Gazans as well.

What sanctions will or could be placed on a territory where every import or export is tightly controlled by Israel?

A ring of steel and barbed wire for starters and then only basic food and water allowed in. No medical supplies, if they are ill then they go to the clinic provided for treatment. No building materials allowed in and any one seen with a weapon Including rocks, shot on sight. They want trouble then they can have trouble until they agree to talks and mutually agreed borders. When they have no money to buy weapons and iran is also under sanctions then the ISLAMONAZI TERRORISTS will know they have gone too far.

AS JEWISH survivors and descendants of survivors of the Nazi genocide, we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world

We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians, and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia

Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel's abuse of our history in these pages to promote blatant falsehoods used to justify the unjustifiable: Israel's wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water

We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. "Never again" must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!

[MENTION=49937]Daniyel[/MENTION], Pakistan News? dont piss them off they DO have Nuclear weapons

So do their neighbours, and they are one step away from war, This is why Pakistan has not become involved because it knows that India will unleash Armageddon on them

This is the response for genocide, not this.

I respectfully disagree, this is the response for genocide:

Next?

I see you left the ISLAMONAZI scum off your post, the ones that were so scared they buried themselves behind walls of human shields. In the end they gave themselves up because their country was on the brink of collapse and due to be invaded.

Which is the stated aim of hamas in regards to the Jews, shown in their charter. By the way these don't apply in warfare when the group is using civilians as human shields, now why did you leave that part out ?

Ireland’s biggest food retailer drops Israeli produce, as European boycotts surge

Major Israeli food exporters are facing an unprecedented wave of cancellations in orders from Europe as a result of Israel’s most recent massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.

SuperValu, the biggest food distributor in Ireland, told the Irish media last week that it has withdrawn Israeli products from its shops.

And Israeli media reports suggest that other major European retailers have taken similar decisions without announcing them publicly.

Israeli fruit and vegetable exporters have faced cancellations from Scandinavia, the UK, France, Belgium and Ireland.

Retailers have become fearful of the rapidly growing consumer boycott of Israeli goods, according to an 11 August article in Hebrew business website The Marker.

A spokesperson for EDOM, a major Israeli fruit grower and exporter that has extensive operations in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, told The Marker:

Importers from Europe are telling us that they can’t sell Israeli produce … One European buyer has told me that he had been blocked in several chains in Denmark and Sweden, and then in Belgium. Last weekend, he told me that mangoes which had been packaged in the Netherlands, as always, and shipped to Ireland, were returned, claiming that Israeli produce would not be accepted …

I’ve heard of major exporters from whom chains in southern France are no longer buying. There is no official boycott, but everyone is afraid of selling Israeli fruits. We can only hope that things do not get worse.

Among the other exporters interviewed for the article is an Israeli pomegranate grower who is quoted as saying that they had been forced to cancel their “entire work plan in the UK” because major retail chains were no longer interested in Israeli goods, and that similar messages had been received from importers in Belgium and Scandinavia.

A separate article published in The Marker on 27 July detailed how fruit juice producer Priniv had lost a major contract with a business in Sweden after refusing a request to export the produce in a way that would make it easier to conceal the fact it was produced in Israel. Customers in Belgium and France also made similar requests.

Priniv director Ido Yaniv attributed the drop in sales to Israel’s attack on Gaza.

Organised boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns have in recent years succeeded in pressuring retailers across Europe to announce that they will not stock produce from illegal Israeli settlements or from companies that operate in settlements, with the Tesco chain the UK the latest to make such an announcement.

But it is now becoming increasingly clear that European businesses are starting to react to growing public support for Palestinian rights and boycotts of Israel in Europe. They are deciding not to sell Israeli produce of any kind — at least for now.

“Disposal” of Israeli goods

Ireland’s largest grocery and food retailer distributor SuperValu instructed all of its 232 stores to remove Israeli products from the shelves earlier this month.

In an email to store managers, the chain called on store managers to “remove all stock from available sale and dispose of [it] at store level.”

“It’s mostly fruit and vegetables, carrots and herbs more specifically,” a source from the retailer told the Irish Herald.

Major Irish toy store Smyths may have taken a similar decision, temporarily displaying a poster at one Dublin store stating that it had removed products made in Israel from the shelves.

The decisions come as part of a huge upsurge in support of the Palestinian struggle and boycotts of Israel across Ireland.

Protests have been held in retailers across the country and calls for boycott have been made by national trade unions, local councils and even sports stars including Irish and Leinster rugby star Gordon Darcy.
