Dear Jen;

when israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited last time in USA, in New Orleans, some people attacked his speech. Who they were?

Jews.

Disrupt Bibi Netanyahu speech to say Israel’s own behavior is making
it a pariah, not student and peace groups that are trying to stop
Israeli human rights violations

[November 8, 2010, New Orleans] A group of young Jews with the Young
Leadership Institute of Jewish Voice for Peace has traveled to the
largest gathering of Jewish leaders in the US, the Jewish Federation
General Assembly, to confront leaders on an approach to saving
Israel’s reputation and building young Jewish identity they say
actually turns young Jews away.

Five of the young adults, including 3 Israelis and Israeli–Americans,
disrupted a speech this morning by Israeli Prime Minister Bibi
Netanyahu with banners that said:

and one of the below

The Settlements Delegitimize Israel
The Occupation Delegitimizes Israel
The Siege of Gaza Delegitimizes Israel
The Loyalty Oath Delegitimizes Israel
Silencing Dissent Delegitimizes Israel

Assalaam walaikum,

There are individuals and groups in Israel that are peace loving and do not support the government and its racist/ genocidal policies.
Brother Nathaniel is one.
www.desertpeace.com is peace loving and fair.

Whenever we have threads like this we end up digress about trivial matters and forget the important issues.

We have to boycott the most racist country in the world. We have to apply pressure to all the politicians in the world that support this country.

The digression is symptom of not understanding the bigger picture. Everyone is looking at the little pieces. There big picture does not farewell for many of us.

The information and truth is out there. You choose not to look.

Assalaam walaikum,

Here is at least one reason to boycot:



JERUSALEM — Two Israeli soldiers received suspended sentences and demotions on Sunday for using a Palestinian child as a human shield during the 2008-2009 Gaza war, an army spokeswoman said.

The soldiers were convicted on October 3 for forcing a nine-year-old boy to search bags believed to be booby-trapped during Israel's 22-day war on Gaza which erupted in December 2008.

The two, who were not identified, were each given suspended terms of three months imprisonment and were demoted from the rank of staff sergeant to sergeant.

"The two Givati soldiers will be on probation for two years and any violation will result in three months in prison. Their rank will be dropped from staff sergeant to sergeant," she said.

Gerard Horton, a spokesman in the West Bank for Geneva-based rights group Defence for Children International (DCI), described the sentence as "unbelievable."
