    Do not support genocide. Check out all of the mostly or totally owned Israeli corporations, like Disney, for instance. Look this subject up on the web, and join the worldwide boycott. Make love not war. Peace and love. Ghandi, MLK, John Lennon, Bob Dylan - antwar all the way. Stop the racism. Stop the killing. Give peace a chance.

    Bob Dylan was jewish :)

    Boycutting Israeli goods would hurt the U.S. economy more than it would hurt Israel's.

    This is silly beyond reason.

    Yea, Rubin tells people if they don't like the way things are done in the US they should move somewhere else, so give it back to him.

    Why don't you join the Israeli Army, Rubin? I'm sure you must be an Israeli citizen. They need patriotic guys like you.

    Most Israeli imports into the US are in the form of financing American companies. These companies contribute to your economy, not the economy of Israelis...only into the pockets of independent investors.

    I am in no way patriotic to Israel, I usually disagree with the government's actions... I just happen to agree this time.

    So a boycott is out of the question, what about a call to cut off US support to Israel in the form of foreign relation dollars supplied by the US? Most of the time the US congress and politians and lobbbyists tell us it's chump change but it's in the billions. Let's cut it off. How would Israel like that.

    Israel and Zionists are financing American corporations, why are we sending:

    How/why are they financing our companies when we are financing their military?

    And that's the problem isn't it? Having a state organised around monoethnic or monoreligious lines at the exclusion of other races and religions. If Israel were a nation which did not refuse the right of Palestinians to return to land that was once theirs, then I would be encouraged by its existence. But it is an apartheid state and as such its goods should be boycotted, just as my family boycotted South African goods when it was a racist state. This is not anti-semitism, it is a committment to secularism, multiculturalism and human rights, and along the same lines I would question the existence of Pakistan as a worthwhile entity seperate from India.

    Arabs/Muslims in Israel represent 1.2 million out of a total population of 6.25 million. That is about 20%. These Muslims are the only Muslims in the middle east that have the right to free speech, the right to vote for the head of their government, and have the highest standard of living then Muslims in any other middle eastern country. Muslims in Israel enjoy more freedom of relgion than Muslims in many other Muslim country (such as Iran and Saudi Arabia).

    At least get a clue of the truth before giving out false information.

    Please clarify. What are you talking about? They are two different countries with different majority religions that are enemies for the most part.

    You aren't including the new government of Iraq? Why not? It was my understanding Lebanon has been a democracy why don't you count them in your stats Haid?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citizens_of_Israel

    Why should religion be a defining factor in a democracy, and if it is in Israel, I question the true equality of treatment of Israeli Muslims/Arabs.

    if you look at the treatment jews were getting before the state of isreal, I think they have the right to a state if they wish to fight for one .

    personally I think my support for isreal makes great sense , their enemy is my enemy I dont want hezbollah or hamas or any other jihadi group to win anywhere at anytime .

    I think non muslims that want the destruction or boycott of isreal are chickens voting for christmas and will get no thanks from jihadis for their help because they are on their list of targets too after the jews.

    you have to ask why the media are so anti isreal there are lots of other countrys with far worse human rights records.... I think its a mix of anti semitism and oil money.

    and when I see the lefts agenda being focused on isreal not seeing that the groups they support are extreamly reactionary like hezbollah and hamas, I can see that that agenda is bought and paid for.

    how about a boycott of iran a theocracy thats bankrolling hezbollah, if you want to see apartied state be a christian in iran or a jew in saudi
