Boycott Israel ; Oxfam asked to dump Scarlett Johansson as ' ambassador '

Thanks for your fascinating insights. I enjoyed reading that. Here's an article you might be interested in:

Ms. Scarlett is Jewish, don'tchyaknow. If you accept the maternal line rule.
Her mother is Ashkenazi. Her father is Johansson, ya.
And she has resigned her position Oxfam and will continue to promote Israeli soda products.
Stating a "fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement," she has dropped her partnership with Oxfam.

Bravo Ms. Scarlett

LOL even George mentions Nigeria. He also gets it right when he states that "the rich" are the ones causing in increase in energy requirement.

Where he misses the boat is by not connecting population growth and industrialization. Of course Sub Saharan Africa is not contributing much to greenhouse gasses. They are all still living on a bowl of rice a day and the only gas they produce is when they fart so a study of this area is meaningless to the overall equation. The sub Saharan is not industrializing.

China, India, and Indonesia are another story. As their population industrializes energy consumption and resource utilization is exploding. Resource production increase increases emissions big time.

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/sources.html

Notice Industry, Electricity and Agriculture accounts for 61%. Transportation is 28%. The sub Saharan has none of these. Thye still wear grass skirts and walk around barefoot.

Not the case for China, India, Indonesia which is over 3 billion people.

God forbid Africa Industrializes ... then we are really hooped.

 

I'd like to continue with this later today. Sorry, but I must go.

 

I doubt she knows anything about Israel, she just did a commercial for a soft drink.

Who cares?

[hr][/hr]

I'm all for boycotts, but this is getting ridiculous.

 

Johansson does not support Oxfam's far-left approach to resolve the issue and she believes that the Israeli soda company is contributing to the West Bank's economic development by employing 500 Palestinians along with 350 Israeli Jews. The boycott movement worked on South Africa but the situation in Palestine is much more complicated than the post-colonial case, in which a white minority government completely lacked legitimacy. Israeli settlements may be illegal but Israeli companies operating in the West Bank create jobs for Palestinians and boycotting Israeli products from the West Bank altogether is counterproductive.

 

' Explanations ' from the IOF are for consumption by neoZionism's politically symbiotic drones and the historically naive.

 

"Liers and stupid" Anyone else see the irony here?

 

Oh she's smart alright; so long as Sodastream keep paying her she'll leave her 'principles' at the door and follow the almighty dollar.

 

I venture that Soda Stream informed her agent that the cost of breaking any contract would be prohibitive. She should never have sold out to the occupiers in the first place.
Hollywood ' starlets ' take note. Johansson's agent is crap.

 

So what?

 

Occupying neoZionist fascists need not worry. On your side you have one Scarlett Johansson.

 

Well then, Jacob Zuma better stop chanting his genocidal songs directed at the Boer, tell the cops to lead competent investigations where Boers get murdered, and solve it how evidence from some of those crime scenes implicated some of the police. All that said, he will lend legitimacy to the government he leads proving it is one that is responsible, rather than a one party sprint that hi-fives strongmen regimes.

 

What makes you think, smart people leave principles at the door when Palestine is concerned?

Thank you for the laugh, Moon - you never fail to deliver

 

ironic, how you keep misspelling "liar".

 

You simply list individuals- some of whom are deceased- with no accompanying authority. Norway is a country, amongst many others. And still alive.

 

You are right - but don't tell them the facts. They are their own worst enemies. They will never, ever be able to live in peace no matter their circumstances.

 

They did perfectly well for thousands of years until the racist doctrine of Zionism surfaced with its concomitant oppression.

 

hopefully someday the Arabs will agree to fully abide by UN resolution 242, and recognize Israel within secure borders and live in peace with her.

 

Someday there will be a cure for haemorrhoids.

 

The location of said borders is the prerequisite to any recognition.

 

Is there a list of all the products we're being asked to boycott? Some us here want to buy some of them.

 

In reply to Ms. Scarlett is Jewish, don'tchyaknow.

So what is it is ridiculous to say she is ignorant regarding Israel.


Moi

No ​

 

are u saying the Arabs will never abide by UN Resolutions?
