Boycotting Israel is awfully tough.

[ReverendJames]

Yeah, those Jews have everything (sarc)

Oh, and a lot of the drugs that we take for our various complaints and illnesses. Hyzaar and many others.

On the contrary, I think boycotting Israel is remarkably easy. So much so that Israelis should do it as well. It is based on two things that Israel has way too much of, that we, including them, should boycott.

1) The idea that there is some way, any way, that by giving things to Palestinians and other Muslims, they will stop wanting to destroy Israel and take its lands for themselves.

2) The idea that you can debate, argue, discuss, hold endless meetings, and argue some more your way out of having a simple consistent policy towards homicidal maniacs who want to kill you.

The boycott of these two things will immensely improve the situation if everybody just stops doing them.

What will remain is a simple policy. No more giving of anything to Palestinians. If they want something, they earn it. This does not include land. They have all the land they shall ever have, though they may have less. They deserve not a centimeter more.

And every time they attack Israel, they should be rewarded by having less land. So the choice is theirs: stop attacking Israel, or become Egyptian and Jordanian.

Under US law since the 1970's any compliance with a boycott of Israel is illegal. I have been in the export business for 30 years and know this first hand since Letters of Credit covering export sales from the US to Arab countries used to include a statement of compliance with the Arab Boycott, as organized and administered from an office in Damascus, Syria.

Whenever we received an L/C containing that provision we were required to file a report to an anti-boycott office in DC (administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security in the Dept. of Commerce). If we failed to report it and were found out the fines would be rather steep.

DON’T buy Amazon’s Kindle either.

It’s a surprise to many, but Amazon’s Kindle, one of the hottest up-and-coming gadgets was largely developed in Israel.
Windows; ICQ (known today as AOL Chat); anti-virus software; cell phone technology - you name it and Israel has had a hand in the development, if not the outright invention, of many of the most important tech components of modern life. And Israel’s high-tech brain trust is still brimful of ideas. This may come as a surprise, but one of today’s newest, hottest, up-and-coming gadgets, Amazon’s Kindle, was largely developed in the heart of Israel’s high-tech center in the Herzliya Industrial Zone on the central coast.

If Israel truly developed Windows Vista that is enough cause for war right there! If they also developed Windows ME, I say nuke ‘em from orbit ...
