I'm a bit confused! Just WHY would you believe Israel is (or was - or - will be) deseparatefor anything? And WHAT in particular, does Israel want so desparately?

The (literal) case against BDS

Load of hooey. Israel is desperate.

(QUESTION)

By what measure are you basing this comparison on?

It seems that every article they play a deck of anti Semite and terrorist cards. They keep banging on like they are trying to sell something.

You DO get that it's in direct response to well...you know.... antisemitism and terrorism, right?

Could someone please alert the ummah? This boycott thing needs to be expanded. I’m thinking a flotilla to the Port of Tokyo.


A 200-strong Japanese business delegation to Israel continues a trend of warmer ties.


Conservative Japanese cos turn to Israeli innovation

A delegation of 200 senior executives from 100 leading Japanese companies, including Mitsubishi and Toshiba, is visiting Israel this week, accompanied by the Japanese minister of the economy. The delegation is the largest from Japan to visit Israel to date. At a conference in honor of the visit, the warming of relations between the two countries was celebrated, reflected above all in the growth of Israeli exports to Japan, which grew 42% to $1.16 billion in 2018.

[ What a difference thirty years make since the last time Israel hosted Eurovision. There were no calls to boycott Israel from hosting the event any of the times the country hosted it before.
NOW, the anti Israel world of fools is out to destroy any and all
possibilities for Israel to participate in anything it has a right to,
arts, sports, politics.
And STILL, these Jew haters are the only losers and will continue to be the only losers now and forever
They do not want the Palestinians to have a State, they want to destroy Israel, as it has been happening since 1920

Hopefully, all Western broadcasts, and many more Asian and African ones will reject the call to boycott this time. Enough. ]


Protesters on Saturday night crashed the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals in France, moments after Israeli singer Netta Barzilai, who won the contest last year, performed on stage.

The protesters carried signs calling for a boycott of the competition which will be held in Israel in May, and were quickly removed by security guards.

Barzilai was later quoted on Army Radio as saying, "After an amazing evening - five people who come to distribute darkness and not to talk about music and love will not disturb me on such an evening."

The 2019 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Tel Aviv under the slogan “Dare to Dream”.

So far, several broadcasters have rejected the boycott calls, including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Australian public television network SBS.

The first (1:12) was when he said, "Well it is not fair to call me anti-semitic. They should call other people anti-semitic. I'm not anti-semitic - the Arabs are all Semitic people."

Yes, that stupid argument actually elicited applause.

At 1:56, Mohamad justifies insulting Jews as a freedom of speech issue:

We talk about freedom of speech and yet you cannot say anything against Israel, against the Jews. Why is that? So if we....can say that we are something that will be regarded as anti-semitic by the Jews that is their right to hold such opinion of me. This my right to tell them also that they have been doing a lot of wrong things. The liberal, enlightened students at Oxford applauded the idea of negatively stereotyping entire groups of people.

Well, not really - they only applauded the idea of negatively stereotyping Jews.

I don't agree with shouting down Israeli supporters, however, when Palestinian speakers are shut down before they start nobody says anything. There is complete silence. There is definitely a double standard here.

Macias has tried many times to return and perform in Algeria, which he left in 1961, but the Algerian government has consistently denied him.
Notice that this article is not saying that MACBI is trying to stop the concert, but only to get people not to attend. Which is in itself an indication that the Morocco boycott movement is more noise than anything else.

Macias has given concerts in Egypt without any issues, including at least one that was televised.

Malaysia’s decision is not surprising. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s has a long history of antisemitic and virulently anti-Israel comments. One example was his “Jews rule the world by proxy” comment he posted on a blog in 2012. Just this past October he described Jews as “hook-nosed” in an interview with BBC.

Discrimination of Israeli athletes is sadly something we have seen before. Israelis are often treated like no other nation. They are forced to hide their nationality; do not get “Hatikva” played when an Israeli athlete wins a gold medal; and do not have their flag raised like that of other nations at international sporting events.

It is time to put an end to allowing sporting events to be held hostage by Arab and Islamic countries. In July, the International Judo Federation canceled two tournaments – the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam and the Tunis Grand Prix – due to restrictions that were unfairly placed on Israelis. Those restrictions were ultimately lifted, and one Israeli judoka went on to win a gold medal.

The same needs to happen here. Swimmers from some 70 countries are expected to compete at the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships in Malaysia. If Israeli athletes are not allowed to compete, then no one should.

This is How Sht Gets Started

This is what Linda Sarsour posted yesterday. The Jewish community is not waging war on black people. Linda Sarsour is an antisemite and even when she is apologizing to the Jewish community on the one hand she is condemning it on the other. She can’t help it. This is who she is and as long as the five board members are in power you will continue to see these sharp divisions they themselves foster. During this entire fiasco who has continually attacked whom? Jewish people asking you to condemn an antisemite and antisemitism is not an attack. Writing that Jewish people are waging war on black people is an attack. It is vicious. It is vile. And it is not true. They are their own worst enemy. An appalling lack of judgment on Linda’s part. On this day, during this ongoing controversy. SMH

July 2018

UC Davis SJP wrote an op-ed for The California Aggie in response to an Aggies for Israel op-ed that accused SJP of leveling anti-Semitic invectives toward Jewish and pro-Israel students in March. SJP claimed in their op-ed they were merely protesting Israeli government policies.

“Palestinian houses are simultaneously being demolished, and Palestinians are being imprisoned, slaughtered and tortured,” UC Davis SJP wrote. “We demand to have our voices heard because the voices of Palestinians are being killed off one by one. We will continue with these efforts because we will not allow the victims of Israeli colonization to be forgotten on this campus.”

The op-ed proceeded to ramble on about how it was hypocritical for students to be pro-Israel and stand with progressive causes, even promulgating the falsehood that the Israeli government forcibly sterilizes African migrants. But SJP let the cat out of the bag in the op-ed’s concluding paragraph.

“It is an ideological fantasy to really believe that progress is possible so long as the state of Israel exists,” UC Davis SJP wrote. “Underlying this naive fantasy is the belief that a state that engages in racist laws, systematic killings and home demolitions can also function as a beacon of peace. The goal of Palestinian resistance is not to establish ‘love’ with those who are responsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people; it is to completely dismantle those forces at play. So continue to watch in ‘horror,’ because we are here to stay.”

In other words: UC Davis SJP doesn’t want any part of a two-state solution, they want Israel gone altogether.
