Should Israel Boycott Scrutinize Jewish Agencies?

by Morningside Pollwatch Friday, Mar. 13, 2009 at 10:41 PM

The Anti Defamation recently released results of a poll claiming huge Jewish American support for the Gaza invasion. If these results are correct, organizers of the boycott against Israeli products may need to consider expanding the scope of the boycott to include organizations which are nominally Jewish but in practice pro-Israel.

The recent poll released by the the ADL showing massive Jewish support for the Gaza invasion have provided fodder for the theories advanced by ADL leader Abraham Foxman. He has clearly gone off the deep end on many levels.

First, the poll results, if true, create more problems for combatting anti Semitism than they solve. If, as the ADL claims, Jews almost unanimously support IDF brutality, it is difficult to defend the tiny minority who do not. But one might question whether that support is as massive as the ADL and whether it will grow or decline as more exposes come forward of just how bad Israel's conduct really has been.

A few of the results follow: • 94% expressed sympathy for Israel over Hamas; only 1% for Hamas.

• 81% expressed the belief that Hamas was responsible for the escalation of the violence;

only 14% held Israel responsible.

The ADL, one of the largest

private intelligence agencies on the planet, has the wherewithal to hire very intelligent

operatives. If it wants to do an honest poll, it has the means to do so. Which leaves the

question: do American Jews really support the horrors perpetrated by the IDF to the degree

that Foxman et al contend?

If so, should the scope of the anti-Israel boycott movement be

more loosely or more tightly constrained with regard to institutions which seem to be more

about Judaism than about Israel and the support of Zionism? In other words, if the lead

agency which claims to combat "anti Semitism" claims that virtually all Jews support the IDF

attack on Palestine, should a conscientious boycott target not simply "Israeli"

corporations, but also institutions which claim to be simply "Jewish", if the members and

staff and shareholders and underwriters of those institutions are almost unanimously agreed

to support Israel

The obvious answer is that if any such institutions cross the line and actively support

Israel, they are legitimate targets of the Israel boycott. But the ADL-Foxman poll report

certainly means that supposedly merely "Jewish" institutions should at least be closely

scrutinized for aiding and abetting of the Zionist militarism of Israel's militarists.

Sad Irony of Mass Psychology: American Jews Overwhelmingly Complicit with IDF

Sad Irony of Mass Psychology: American Jews Overwhelmingly Complicit with IDF is a more general article exposing the poll and questioning its reliability in view of its close connection with the ADL agenda.

What? R U people on crack?

by PrionPartyy Saturday, Mar. 14, 2009 at 12:06 AM

there were German Americans who supported Hitler in the 1930s and VERY early 1940s.

Would their MUCH LESS than 99% support of Hitler make the NAZI's warS of conquest any less of an offense.

What if 99% of American Germans had supported Hitler's invasion of Cezchoslovakian, Polish, Dutch, Belian, Danish, Norwegian, French, Yugo =slavian, Soviet lands??? It would have made the NAZI's wars of conquest any less of an offense, would it???

So, how could 99% of America's Jewish citizens supporting Zionist offenses against Palestinians ETC make the Zionist's offenses or Democrap and republitrash support of Zionist's offenses any less of an offense???

Fact is, it wouldn't change a damned thing, OTHER THAN in Wahington DC. Where they don't give a damn about right or wrong.

Well, let me tell you. Democraps and Republitrash selling out America's peace by useing American taxes to supply Zionist crusaders with the means to destroy our Palestinian neighbors is an offense no matter how many American jews support the Zionist's bloodsoaked crusade.

DUH!

Well and good - not

does anyone see the crafting, by zionist handlers, i.e. the banking families of London, of the set up and fall of the israeli state?

Duh....

Although I must admit that there are perps literally oozing from the woodwork; there are innocent souls involved.

I don't see any end to this path save a planetary disaster.

Time to grow a knob.

grinding the area into dust

by Grim Aftermath Friday, Mar. 20, 2009 at 12:28 PM

An hour lecture from the news reports of visiting international human rights organizations.

Gaza moans in ruins as the 20,000 homes ravaged farms and poisoned, bomb laced remains; struggles to survive.

All the while the siege continues to strangle the survivors in the Gaza Ghetto.

The bodies are being recovered and the official death count goes up.

please listen

Boycotts backfire

by boycott backfires in Berkeley Saturday, Mar. 28, 2009 at 4:57 PM

Boycotts backfire in Berkeley.

Members of the International Non-Zionist Solidarity Movement set up a boycott Israel table in front of a local Berkeley Independent grocery store for several hours last month.

They are still paying for it.

The Berkeley Bowl's response- no doubt spurred on by the Zionist conspiracy- was to create elaborate end of aisle displays of all their Israeli products.

Anti-Zionists organizers within the community are claiming that the Bowl is stocking even MORE Israeli products since they set up their table- including importing Israeli produce to California? (What???? We don't have enough local produce here?????)

I made only 2 points in my post above.

That American Jewish support of the Zionist's chosen war of conquest is NOT going to ever make the Zionists's chosen war of conquest anything other than an offense.

And that Democraps and Republitrash have sold out America's peace by providing the Zionist crusaders with the means to destroy our Palestinian neighbor's lives and lifes.

So, which of those points would you contend IF you could?
