Scarlett Johansson and SodaStream dumped.

A good result for the Boycott and Divestment movement.

This is an almost perfect way to combat and defeat neo-Zionist encroachment upon Palestine. It is non-violent , non-sectarian and affects all Israelis. This is important because Israelis themselves can reject neoZionism at the ballot-box- given enough reason and a diminished pay-packet is reason enough.

Now, if this had been an AIPAC attack on Scarlett Johansson then she'd likely never have found work again. It isn't. Good luck to you, Scarlett. You're a bit of a cracker but definitely on the wrong horse for this race. Get yourself an in-tune agent.

 

Who cares. I like Sodastream - tastes good (not as good as major brand soft drinks, but meh), and it's a lot cheaper.

BDS is welcome to continue its activities of course, although I doubt you'll accomplish anything. Maybe at a max you'll force companies like Sodastream to relocate. Will it significantly hurt Israel? Probably not. Will it hurt Israel enough to flip policy on the West Bank? Leaders of Islam, Judaism and Christianity will sooner hold hands and sing Kumbaya on the Temple Mount.

There are two ways Israel will change: if they're forced to through war, or if there's a substantial movement from within by Israelis. The BDS movement accomplishes neither.

 

That's the aim, of course. Ending the occupation of Palestine can happen incrementally.

International boycott could bring about either. It has to be carefully managed .

 

Sodastream? Never heard of it. I'll make sure to try it out Moon. thanks.

 

You might want to expand your horizons a bit before relying on Moon to lead you to the Promised Land.

The story he refers to is actually more than a few months old. The organization you know nothing about actually is one of the few organizations that employs Palestinians on the West Bank and is apolitical.How about you try find out who started it, who it employs.As for Scarjo like me she is a progressive Zionist and applauds the efforts of anyone to get Palestinians working and becoming independent.

 

I have heard of Scarlett Johansson though, and I'd really like to try her too (as if)

 

It helps to leave your cave a little more often.

 

Don't imbibe more than four gallons at once now, ya hear.

 

OK folks, given that this chap believes that 04/21/2014 is ' a few months ' in the past what do you think of his first conjecture ?


West Bank Palestinians are exploited across the board by neo-Zionist occupiers. What sort of an employer builds his factory in your country without permission ? Somebody with your interests in mind ?

 

are they also boycotting Chinese companies that operate out of Tibet?

 

Who ?

.....

 

Israel hate market seems to be more profitable

 

Then why have you outsourced most of your industry to China ?

Ah- you helpy Chinaman. Solly.

 

An employer that was BEGGED to open a factory so the Palestinians will have a few jobs, now get this Moon, the CEO said loud and clear he doesnt want that factory as its a pain in his ass and he considers closing it, the Arab employees begged him and the Gov to keep it running, now I know that you will burn half your own ppl to get your goal - but there are some that just want to live in peace anf feed theor families, they dont want to be another blood stain on your tatterd flag. that's the true meaning of humanitarian aid and co - existance, not food trucks but to give a man an honest way to work and feed his family alone.

 

Apologism for ethnic cleansing and land theft. Close the factories, vacate the illegal squats and skidaddle back to Israel. Then the Palestinians will build their own factories on their own land and enjoy their own produce and profits themselves.

 

There are currently many nations that are under occupation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_occupations#Current

These nations doing the occupying include:

Russia

Azerbaijan

Ethiopia

Turkey

Morocco





....how come there are no calls or international campaigns to boycott THESE nations?

 

Just being practical, these ppl need jobs and in 20+ years the Palestinian authority exists no factories and hardly any industries opened, it got nothing to do with house building in area E or road blocks, got alot to do with curroption.

 

More apologism for ethnic cleansing and land theft. Your pitch that Palestine needs to be occupied by Zionists in order to function won't find any sane takers.

 

No they won't. At no point in time have the Palestinians EVER demonstrated any serious interest in building up and modernizing their society. Outside of the occupied territories the Palestinians have been under self rule by the PLO or more recently HAMAS for almost 20 years now and that entire time they have accomplished NOTHING.

Meanwhile you run around and claim that somehow a factory that employees Palestinians being shut down is a good thing. If you bothered to educate yourself on the situation instead of relying on agiprop you would no that the only job opportunities for Palestinians are in fact in Israel.......Lord knows they aren't in Palestine.

 

The Palestinians were doing just fine before European Zionists arrived to ' help ' them. Here's some proof for you;
http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2010/03/palestinians-made-the-desert-bloom.html

The Palestinians have laboured under Zionist brutality for sixty years. Isn't it appalling that Zionists- and their cronies- have the brass to say that they are a disfunctional society ? Call in the criminal psychologists.

 

That's BS. they had 20 years under Jordan rule, and another 20 with thier own administration, Ramalla real-estate is as high as any Israeli city and ppl do work around there but not hardly enough, the gaps between the rich (with jobs) and the poor (uneducated and unemployed) are huge and that's ONLY due to CORRUPTION.

 

More apologism for ethnic cleansing and theft. The evidence is plain;
http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2010/03/palestinians-made-the-desert-bloom.html

Zionism is, was and will remain until its end- parasitic.

 

seems like you just enjoy making inflammatory statements.

 

It seems more like neo-Zionists just enjoy infammatory occupation, ethnic cleansing, theft and murder.

 

Cowardly now gone antisemites: hiding behind the word "zionism" and afraid for their ears and livers.
