Let's be absolutely clear about the population and character of Israel. It is NOT jewish. 25% of Israeli citizens are not jewish, they are arab. To attempt to liquidate one quarter of a country's population by means of racist legislation is fascism in action. This legislation attempts to punish those who refuse to recognize a lie. It also attempts to legitimize hypocrisy . It demands that those who refuse to recognize the lie also recognize the liars as democratic. Netanyahu and his rightist thugs are currently exposed like no Zionist regime has ever been exposed before. It is the duty of the US government, according to its Constitution, to protect Americans from fascism and foreign domination. AIPAC seeks to control Congress so that Zionist fascism and hypocrisy passes unnoticed . Kick your Congressman's ass today. He is putting Israel before America. He is an Israel Firster and the US Constitution is his obstacle, not his guidance.
I'm sure voting in medina and mecca is pretty screwy too when minorities(Christians and Jews) can't even enter the city. Pot meet kettle. Islamism is fascist, Islamism is racist.
It only matters what the Joos do. What is hilarious is the Muslim population of Israel is constantly growing despite the hyperbole claiming neoZionist (tm) aparthied.
What GodTom said is definitely correct, but my first comment is that Israel is supposedly a democracy (it certainly calls itself that when drumming up money in Congress). The other comment is that perhaps GodTom could have contrasted the Israelis with the Palestinians, since they are the Arabs and (mostly) Muslims in conflict with the Israelis. If you're trying to deflect criticism, at least make it relevant to the problem at hand. How many Saudi soldiers or terrorists have ever fought in Israel or attacked Israel or Israeli interests?
This legislature is not passed down by a sheik or a czar or an ayatollah, it's proposed, reviewed, debated and voted on by legitimate elected representatives of Israeli citizens (including non-Jewish citizens of Israel) and is therefore in full compliance with democratic principles and concepts. (democracy is Greek for "the rule of the people" you know) Having said that Israel is a democratic country, not a stupid country and these laws are long overdue. Israel should not allow its enemies (yes those who don't recognize Israel as a jewish democratic state are Israel's enemies) to use Israel's democracy to demonize, de-legitimize, undermine and eventually destroy Israel and its democracy. No wonder Islamonazis of all stripes are terrified of these laws, normal civilized people who recognize Israel as a jewish democratic state have no problem with these laws.
<<<Mod edit: Insult removed>>> If you look at Aid, stimulus, oil money we give to Saudi Arabia it's more then Israel. What do you think Muslims lived in Medina and Mecca forever? What do you think happened to them? I love pointing out the hypocrisy that Muslims can make sure they're the majority, but if any other religion tries to do it it is viewed as wrong. Why don't muslims show the whole world their compassion by allowing all religions in their cities, then maybe other will become more tolerant.
Israel is a Jewish majority country, it is the only one in the world, it was created for a safe place for Jews to immigrate too which is why the Jewish majority is to be maintained this is not fascism or racism in any sense of the words and human rights organizations which don't recognize Israel as a democratic and Jewish state are not actually human rights organizations but Islamist Imperialist swine.
Most jews are perfectly happy where they are. The immigrants into Israel are Zionists, attracted by false information provided by other Zionists and the lies of crazed ultra-orthodox rabbis and their militias. Decent jews recognize ' Zion ' as a spiritual attainment, not tracts of Palestinian territory stolen and illegally settled in their name by avaricious brutes. There are no ' chosen people ' - and if there were they certainly wouldn't be the fascists who murdered 400 Palestinian children over christmas, 2008/9 and who torture others whom they have incarcerated as political prisoners. Children not exempt from widespread torture in Israeli detention http://electronicintifada.net/content/children-not-exempt-widespread-torture-israeli-detention/10143 Chosen people ? Let's see how these ' chosen people' negotiate fascist laws through their fascist parliament.
That's because 'Israel ' is an anti-democratic State, under its current, fascist, government. What decent Israelis say;
The jews have had safe places all over europe and in countries like the US, France, Poland and UK for centuries, yeah it's not a nation but jews have lead wealthy prosperous lives in the west, there was no need to invade Palestine and grab land and murder innocence to preserve the jewish people who were doing quite well without a state run by a small elite of greedy capitalist puppet masters.
Great; freedom of speech, as held to be sacrosanct in a democracy, is absolutely fine just as long as it is the acceptable sort? What kind of oxymoronic 'logic' is that? Didn't the Nazis invoke a similar strategy where criticism of the state became a crime, and where Jewish property could be expropriated under the flimsiest of pretexts?
Complete and utter rubbish. Freedom of speech is perfectly fine in Israel, there are daily protests there, including protests against this new law. You can protest (legally) all you want in Israel, just like you can in any other democracy. And you can actually still call for the boycott of Israel, it's still perfectly legal, you just have to be prepared that your actions may have consequences. In very simple terms if you call for boycott of an Israeli company which has done absolutely nothing wrong (besides being based in Israel and employing JOOZ and very likely arabs too of course), the company now has the right to file a civil suit against you. It makes absolutely perfect sense if you think about it, businesses should have legal recourse against losing profits just because some as$h0les hate Israel.
That's a super funny thought, considering another anti-free speech law which was just passed in Israel: JERUSALEM Despite a firestorm of criticism and the advice of the parliament's legal adviser, Israeli lawmakers have passed a bill effectively outlawing calls to boycott settlements in the West Bank. http://www.google.com/hostednews/af...ocId=CNG.37ba0b8c634ad640bbd2c527ede773d8.5f1
So, Zionism and freedom of protest are incompatible. I think that's been demonstrated to the point wherein Americans must stop supporting and funding Zionist fascism.
Nonsense, calls to boycott Israel (settlements and Israel proper alike) are not outlawed, you won't get arrested, you won't go to jail. But hated semites, whose businesses you call to boycott even though they have nothing to do with your political agenda and hatred of Israel, have a right to file a civil lawsuit against you. In Europe you can go to jail for denying the Holocaust (this is the real freedom of speech issue, justifiable as it may be), in Israel you can call to boycott Israel all you want but you open yourself to civil lawsuits from people whose businesses you are trying to hurt. Your freedoms are not affected but you are now liable for your irresponsible actions that hurt innocent Israelis. It's only fair. PS Here is an interesting quote from your article: The only unified opposition to the law came from the Knesset's leftist and Arab parties
The Israeli view : Americans who support Israel should now listen to Israelis, not the fascists who have taken over the Israeli government. What does it take for you to know the difference ? Kick your Congressman's ass today.
Where does the law say that it won't be enforced, and why pass it if it has no value? Please provide some substance to back your desired views.
The law will most definitely be enforced as it should be. An innocent Israeli business will have the right to sue the scum who are calling for the boycott of that innocent Israeli business. And assuming that the new law will not be struck down by the Israeli supreme court (the independence of the Judiciary branch is yet another proof that Israel is a strong and vibrant democracy) the law will certainly be enforced and protect innocent israeli businesses.
People don't boycott ' innocent' businesses. They boycott businesses because they perceive something to be wrong with them. What you would like to do, as the fascist Zionist government seeks to do, is to rob people of the right of protest. It's a fascist endeavor which will fail, as will the fascist government which spawned it. You think not ? I look forward to your apologies. It's the big ' bye, bye for Netanyahu, Lieberman and the rest of the Zionist effluent passing itself off as jews in Israel. The Israeli view;
So taking away peoples freedoms to choose what they should buy or not is somehow completely acceptable in a society that claims to be democratic?
Ah you mean like the pallies afficionado in Montreal, Canada who protest every weekend in front of a shoe store because the guy sells one brand of shoes that happens to come from Israel? Do they think that by hurting this single privatelly own canadian shoe store that the pallies are going to get more support from the population?
Reading comprehension problems or your hatred completely clouds your mind? You can buy or not buy whatever you want, you can't call for the boycott of innocent Israeli business. Actually you can call for the boycott but you may get sued by these businesses. Fair enough. PS The freedom to choose what they should and should not buy is taken for different reasons by all civilized western democracies. For instance americans can't legally buy (or bring from a trip) medicine made outside of the US.
