Naomi Klein Calls for Boycott of Israel
update:
Naomi Klein's assistant responded to my email!
I had sent an email to Naomi thanking her for her wonderful article http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/10/naomi-kl...
and this is the email I received:
Dear --,
I work with Naomi Klein and I have shared your kind message with her. Naomi is on a solid traveling schedule so unfortunately she's unable to respond to you personally. However, she very much appreciates your encouragement and wants you to know that it's messages like yours that keep her going while she's on the road and her ideas are under attack. Thank you for your support!
Best wishes,

It's time. Long past time. The best strategy to end the increasingly bloody occupation is for Israel to become the target of the kind of global movement that put an end to apartheid in South Africa. In July 2005 a huge coalition of Palestinian groups laid out plans to do just that. They called on "people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era". The campaign Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions was born

BOYCOTT ISRAEL!!!

Suspend EU-Israel Association Agreement
We call on the EU to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement until Israel respects human rights and International Law.
The EU is Israel's biggest importer of goods, and its second biggest exporter. In 2006 the total traded between the EU and Israel amounted to 23.5 BILLION Euros.

BOYCOTT ISRAEL CAMPAIGN
http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-israel.php
Individual consumers can show their opposition to Israel's project by participating in a consumer boycott of Israeli goods and services. A consumer boycott works in two ways: firstly by generating bad publicity for the offender and secondly by applying economic pressure for change.

Israel admits: "No Hamas rockets were fired during ceasefire"
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zfFMZ7Y-s_c
The Israeli Spokesman (Australian born!) Merk Regev, accepts that Hamas did NOT violate the Ceasefire UNTIL AFTER Israel attacked the Gaza Strip on the 4th November! This proves that it was ISRAEL that broke the ceasefire!

Yo Rhonda15
I would like to see a new post with that video embedded in it!
Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?
Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?
YES! It is time to boycott Israeli goods & services..
Can someone provide a list of the 25 most common consumer items we buy that are from Israel?
Those I will boycott.
PS... to those that think boycotting Israel is "anti-Semitic" ..... I say, grow up. Just as the world's people can like Americans but hate our American Government, so too can the world like Jews and still hate the Israeli government. Stop confusing the two issues. One can be both "Pro Jew" and "Anti-Israel" at the same time.
In Peace & Liberty,
Treg
thanks treg list provided ;)

Boycotts hurt civilians the most.
Commerce with all. Entangling alliances with none.
What effect will a consumer boycott have anyway? I don't think I've ever bought anything from Israel. What do they export besides lobbyists?
I'm starting to think Naomi is one of the sharpest
women in the World. Very impressive ideas from this lady~
SNAP! It's OK to wake up now...
Look deeper...use discernment...pick your leaders carefully...she's a collectivist through and through...be very wary of her.

She's a socialist

Amen...
Her book The Shock of Doctrine was a piece of trash.

Do we really need to think about who Naomi Klein works for?
That's right folks...boycott Israel is what THEY want.
Just keep on doing what they want...because they MAKE us do stuff.
Feel like a hamster yet?
Naomi sez boycott! I will boycott.
Anything in the media is meant to control you...stop reading it and stop watching it.
Do you know who OWNS the Guardian?

They should be giving us a couple of million in 2009.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul
There is only one problem with this.....
Israel gets SO much money from the U.S. in the form of aid and other "backdoor" methods. Boycotting them won't hurt that much. I'm not saying to not do it, I'm just saying I don't know how much it will hurt them.
you can't tell me
possibly that this Jewess wants to boycott Israel...
Don't tell me you still can't make the distinction
between Jewish and Zionist...
she lives here in Toronto Canada
there are many Jewish groups here who are against Israel attack/war crimes...actually one such group 2 days ago took over Israeli consulate in protest.(were arrested for a short time)

Well she's advocating violence.
That may be why it's getting not getting bumped, but I'm not positive.
OMG she's NOT advocating violence!
She's calling for an economic boycott!
Where does she advocate violence?

My mistake
I don't trust much of what Klein writes, so I too hastily made my comment...I had thought she was advocating government economic sanctions.
However, in reading the article I now see that she is advocating voluntary economic sanctions.

there it is
the lies usually are exposed after the war ends...nice to see lies exposed during the war so the war can be stopped faster(by international pressure).

Lets all sign a petition. Then government will shake in their britches and bend to our will.
And before all the signatures, we should write a letter
Oh man, they're done for.
