Boycott Israel

[Shusha]

Gone (supposedly) are the days of colonialism and foreign domination.

Except if you are Jewish. If you are Jewish, your homeland and your holy places belong to the colonialists and foreign dominators and you have no rights to them.

The Case for Cultural & Academic Boycott of Israel with intro by Ken Loach

Do you understand that Israel could have expelled, or boycotted, not let one Arab fro Gaza, Areas A and B (after Oslo Accord) get ONE job in Israel, or study, or get any health help, and much less let any food or construction materials, medicine, etc into those areas, if it wanted to?

Because that is exactly what any other country in the world, or almost any other country, like Russia, Turkey and many others, would have done in order to put an end to the endless attacks on Israel.

One does not feed the enemy, one starves them into defeat.

But not Israel. Because that is not what Jews do.

On the other hand, just look at all of the "refugee camps" in Lebanon, Jordan, etc. They keep being starved, attacked, etc by their own Muslim fellow people.

Where is the boycott of Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, etc when it comes to the Arab clans which have no country? The ones Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc will not recognize as being part of their countries and allow them to become citizens of each and every one of them as they have every right to become citizens of (those countries) ?

Sit down for negotiations. Be serious about it. Put an end to the refugee claims, which do not exist with any other people on the planet, let them be part of the countries they are in, if they choose to stay in those countries.

Enough of fake boycotts which are designed to destroy the State of Israel, and endlessly harm the Arabs who have no power, no money and no voice in what their Arab Leaders choose to do.

Sure the Arabs did not need any jobs before Israel came to be.
Just look at all the Arabs immigrating into the region of Palestine from 1880s on to get jobs Jews were creating. And working for Jews.

No, the Arabs did not need any jobs. The Ottomans and later their Arab leaders were always creating jobs for them, right?

Once the Palestinians got out from under Ottoman taxation and regulation they could invest more heavily in their own infrastructure.

But the fact is that the Arabs have not been investing in their own infrastructure since 1920.

They have heavily invested in attacks on Jews, stealing everything which belonged to the Jews, making false claims, murder, rape, kidnapping, changing the history of the area.

Let us use 1920 to 1948, only.

What did the Arab leaders build as far as infrastructure in order to build their own State ?

Never mind that they refused any partition in 1937 and 1947.

Palestinian Finance Minister Shukri Bishara said in a Feb. 2 statement that foreign support for the PA has been going downhill. Between 2007 and 2012, this aid amounted to approximately $1.2 billion, decreasing by $200 million between 2013 and 2014.

Bishara explained that foreign aid to the PA witnessed another sharp drop to less than $800 million in 2015. He said Saudi Arabia was the most committed donor among Arab countries, providing aid totaling $241.6 million, followed by Algeria with $52.8 million, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the United States and the World Bank failed to contribute any funds to the Palestinian budget in 2015.

The PA is almost entirely reliant on foreign aid, and its budgets have experienced deficits for the past 15 years. But this time around, the decline is linked to the existing confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis, and the lack of any forthcoming solutions thereto, which might lead to a stifling financial liquidity crisis for the PA. It should be noted that the EU has been the PA’s main financier for years, paying 45% of all regular financial assistance.”​

Multifaceted International Campaign

equals

Costing Arab Palestinians their jobs

Stabbing, ramming, kidnapping Jews

Stabbing, ramming non Jews

Once again, you live in another world.

This "campaign" you are mentioning started actually before 1973. There were boycotts, riots, invasions, murder, etc even before that year, the last one the Arabs tried to invade en masse Israel, with no success.
Actually with total failure, as they lost land they had taken in 1948 by 1967.

What "changing of discourse" are you talking about?

They use and abuse:

The United Nations
UNESCO
UNWRA

Ok, most of it is the "Arab Leaders" who are trying to destroy Israel the hard way.

And BDS is not easy either, because many Arabs end up losing jobs and livelihoods without the Arab leaders not creating anything new for them.

So, exactly where is the discourse being changed in a positive way for the Palestinian population, not the leaders.

How are is the Arab Palestinian population gaining from all of this change?

Is it towards a peace with Israel?
Is it towards changing their leaders?
Is it towards changing their quality of life?

Enlighten me

Boycotting Israel, and not only the "Occupied Territories", which are not occupied as they are the Jew's most ancient part of their homeland.
Boycotting Israel or the "West Bank" Jewish communities, as I said in my last post, only harms the poor Arab laborers who depend on getting jobs that Jews really never had to give them, at better salaries than the PA gives them.
Boycotting Israel = Destroying Israel, which has always been the Arab Muslim desire since 1920.

RE: Boycott Israel
※→ P F Tinmore, Sixties Fan, et al,

Yes, this is a common theme. But what does that theme actually represent. But first a quick word on the esteemed Dr Noam Chomsky, BS, MA, PHD, regarding the short videos contained in Post# 2793 and Post# 2794...

Professor Chomsky is one of those rare people that who's sharpness of mind and intellectual prowess simply dwarfs the mental acuity of most people. He is a man that chooses his words carefully; where each word is currency towards the thought being expressed. And for that, I admire the man. If there is a council scholars pertaining to concepts of Revolution and Protest, certainly Dr Chomsky must be among them. And again, I have to respect the vastness of his knowledge and his willingness to share his thoughts in the never ending assessment and activism towards the US Foreign Policy and the trends in the geopolitical landscape; with the accompanying development of the influential American Hegemony. I encourage people to take the opportunity to listen to his commentary. Having said that, I am one of those people he criticizes for my support of free-market capitalism and a fairly liberal set of loose reins on the control of economic factors by the private sector (where US Foreign Policy supports active roles with the private sector).

I rarely agree with the criticisms Dr Chomsky address; because he does not map a way in which America can shift gears towards a better interactive role in the greater global economy and on ways to share that global economy in favor of it's friends and allies.

You will notice that in the video, Dr Chomsky expresses and describes the construct of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement , Principles and Tactics (he says undertaken to "help victims" because that action is beneficial). But he really doesn't "sketch out a path from getting here to there."

However, what he is saying is true. Actions that cause a loss of income to the victims, or otherwise harm the victims (which we presume to be the Arab Palestinians) are unsound or ineffective.

Moving on:

The people are fed up with the fake peace process,

(COMMENT)

This is rather nebulous. Some scholars think that the Peace Process started in 1897 and the First Zionist Congress. But most of us think of it in terms of contemporary time (either the time of the 1988 PLO Declaration of Independence - or - the post-Oslo period and forward). Others (more progress oriented) would suggest the the first serious set of negotiations were in 1978 Camp David Accords (leading the the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty). And for nearly four decades, the peace has held. Similarly the 1994 Israeli-Jordanian Peace Treaty has held for nearly a quarter century.

The Declaration of Principles (DOP) 1993 - and - the Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (together are called the Oslo Accords) are examples of fail or deteriorated peace attempts.

In 2000 (Camp David), even though Prime Minister Ehud Barak made major concessions including withdrawal of the IDF and settlements from the vast majority of the West Bank to create an independent Palestinian state (a Two State Solution) with a capital in East Jerusalem ⇒ Palestinian President Yasser Arafat declined the offer - as insufficient. And these very same issues have been the major issues for the last 17 years.

Between the 2000 rejection by the PLO of the Israeli Concessions and the Arab League endorsement of the Arab Peace Initiative hammered-out as the Riyadh Summit, Arab nations had ruled out peace, recognition, and even negotiations with Israel. While it might seem that it has been a long time (1967-2017), a half-century, the actual window of opportunity for peace, recognition, and negotiations has only been since Riyadh Summit of 2007; ten years.

The people are fed up with the Oslo (Accords).

(COMMENT)

The Arab-Palestinians need to come in good faith to the peace negotiations. No pre-conditions and not expecting to an initial offer more than Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered in 2000.

The people are fed up with the quisling PA.

(COMMENT)

And it is talk like that --- that retards the peace process. AND, a peace negotiation will NOT word if a significant portion of the population believes as you do: Negotiations with the Israeli Government current controlling the Area "C" is a traitorous act. IF negotiations = treason THEN and agreed upon peace will only create insurgents. And that is no improvement.

That means, the negotiations for peace starts an initiate made by the good faith of the Arab Palestinians.

The people are fed up with the any political parties.

(COMMENT)

So it is written: NO external intervention in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state. IF you dont want parties --- THEN change the government to change the system.

They have a multi faceted, international campaign (most but not all hinged on BDS) that is changing the discourse.

(COMMENT)

When the BDS Movement makes some significant contribution to the Arab Palestinian of the West Bank, Gaza, or Jerusalem, it will become a viable influence. All it is today is a way for BDS members to collect donations.

They did. They created a new government structure in 2003. They elected a new government in 2006 that was trampled to death by foreigners. They legally constituted a new government in March of 2007 that lasted until June of 2007 when a US coup tried to replace the elected government with Fatah, the losers of the elections. The coup failed in Gaza but Fatah was placed back in power in the West Bank.

Since its inception, Palestine has been the poster child of illegal external interference.
