Boycott Israel

[docmauser1]

Yahoo!"You see for Israel there's an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up. People are very sensitive to it. There are talk of boycotts and other kinds of things," Kerry said. "Today's status quo absolutely, to a certainty, I promise you 100 percent, cannot be maintained. It's not sustainable. It's illusionary."

Yahooooo! Well, if the slick dumbass wasn't instigating all that in the first place, he wouldn't be bloviating about that, of course.

I don't support a boycott of Israel but I do support a boycott of the settlements.

I don't support a boycott of Israel but I do support a boycott of the settlements.

Why does that not surprise me.

Its a valid and reasonable position to take.

Now are you going to respond to my comments with something substantial or just make driveby attacks with provocative faces?

This is a perfect example of too much government interference.

Members of Congress that waste tax dollars on shit like this, need to be voted out of office.

Jews currently have a more than 50% chance of marrying a non-Jew.
Most of this interaction occurs in universities.

There is wisdom amongst the nations.
There is no Torah amongst the nations.

Israel needs Jewish Jews.

That's a pretty racist thing to say.

I guess we can kiss that BS about being the only democratic nation in the ME goodbye.

There is a certain logic in eliminating Arab representation in the Israeli Parliament.
Until that happens, Israel is the only democratic nation in the ME and that's not necessarily a good thing.

BTW, what does religion have to do with racism?

Deliberately trying to silence the political voice of an entire race of people, is not democracy, it's fascism.

OK, I already most of the Islamic nations are fascist; you don't have to constantly remind us.
Not to mention that a non-US citizen cannot become POTUS...fascism.

But those two instances are not claiming to be something they're not.

I wasn't aware that the Islamic nations declare themselves as fascist.

America is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, but if you're not born a citizen, well, maybe your kids will get a shot.

So tell me again how Israel is the land of oppression and genocide against the Arabs.
And this time, do it with GUSTO!

The Anti-Zionist Challenge to the Jewish Establishment

February 19, 2014 by Caroline Glick

There is a difference between speech and war. Both are forms of expression, to be sure. But the essence of the former is engagement, and the essence of the latter is destruction.

This distinction is apparently too subtle for many of Israel’s Supreme Court justices. On Sunday, the Court heard arguments on the constitutionality of the 2011 Anti-Boycotts law. The law allows targets of boycotts to sue boycotters for damages in civil courts, and empowers the finance minister to revoke the non-profit status of NGOs that engage in boycotts. It is being challenged by a consortium of foreign-funded, radical, anti-Zionist NGOs.

The essence of boycotts is destruction, not engagement.

...

The most outspoken critics of Israeli anti-Zionist NGOs and J Street are on the Right. And that makes sense. It isn’t hard for rightists to make the distinction between speeches and extortion.

But the primary target of these groups is not the Right.

It is the leftist Jewish establishment, in Israel and in the US. And as J Street’s nearly unchallenged rise in the US, and the Court’s self-defeating incoherence on the boycott campaign indicate, over the decades, the establishment Left has become so dependent on rejecting the Right for its own sense of identity, that it is no longer clear whether its members are capable of siding with the hated Right against their common foes.

So now they're passing a law to force you to consume a certain product.

Can Israel get anymore fascist than that?

Kosher meat is the norm in Israel, but there are some places that sell non-kosher meat and other foods.
Kosher meat is actually more healthy so there are quite a few non-jews who eat kosher.

Meat being kosher has no relation to its health qualities. Kosher meat can be healthy and it can be old and rancid. Kosher just refers to the type of animal slaughter and that no dairy products were handled in the same establishment.

Not true. Kosher beef for example only uses certain parts of the cow.

Only the "healthy" parts, huh?

Kosher meat is no healthier than non-Kosher.

I'd love to hear people claim that Kosher meat and poultry is healthier than USDA Organic certified.

Kosher food have to meet much higher standards than US inspected foods.
The type of meat use, the parts of meat used and the act of koshering the meat all make Kosher meat healthier. Less likely to carry e-coli and salmonella.
Koshering withdraws the blood to prevent rapid spoiling. It also makes the meat more digestible. The dietary laws of not mixing food also helps those with certain conditions absorb the food without causing stomach pains.
Doctors, not jewish, have recommended eating Kosher for your health.

This is all lies.

Kosher standards are that the animal must be killed in a certain way and no milk products in the same facility. That's it.

Your average kosher meat smells worse than your average Organic or free-range/grass-fed meat. And it looks worse.
