If anyone has friends who go to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, please implore them to oppose the Divestment initiative vote; it's a vote for Islamism and Communism rolled into one, and of course, anti-Semitism.
Criticizing Israel’s existence as a Jewish State is anti-Semitism.
BDSers want to destroy Israel and its not particular Israeli policies they want changed.
They want the Jewish State to disappear. And they can’t be honest about it.
Gee I wonder why he feels the way he does?
you’d think they’d have a little more stealth in their jihad!
Human rights, huh?
Look at Saudi Arabia where women can’t vote, own property, drive a car or go out alone in public unveiled without a man.
Israel’s critics are not calling to disinvest from the most repressive countries in the region.
Their target is free, democratic Israel. That says it all.

Don’t know what the #### Israel sells that I could buy but I’d be glad to.

Perhaps there is a list of exports somewhere.

Good for them.
I would assume they have lucrative contracts with companies here as well the the fed govt.
I also found an Israeli gourmet food shop with a number of things I like.
Think I’ll order some.
Maybe it’s time to trot back out the piece that I wrote three years ago on this very topic: http://wotantyger.deviantart.com/art/If-it-s-not-about-the-Jews-428010827
