I thought that my point was quite clear.

I thought that my point was quite clear. It was an almost satirical view on the subject, but I will elaborate for you. People will boycott Israel just to get everyone's back up. Personally, I feel its more of an Anti Semitic move that everyone can jump on the band wagon of, and say that its for the sake of the “boycott”. If someone feels so passionate about boycotting a country that has the right to defend themselves. like we all do against acts of terrorism, then do it properly! All the inventions, products and technologies that I mentioned are just as Israeli as humus and olives. I think it’s idiotic and hypocritical to say, we will boycott one product, but the real stuff that makes a difference to everyone’s lives, people will pretend to not know who invented and revolutionised technologies that make your life easier. I can imagine the Ignorant fool standing in front of the pickle stand not taking the Israeli brand because he is boycotting Israel, but will at the same time talk on his cell phone to his wife who is surfing the net on the latest centrino duo processor.

Simply put. If anyone will boycott Israel, I want your life to be inconvenienced. Don’t use your cell phone, computer and so on. You will then see the contribution made by Israel, and your act of stupidity based on a lack of knowledge will be to the detriment of your comfort and general way of functioning in today’s society.

Regarding your statement about Israel’s refusal to negotiate; You evidently are horribly misinformed about the situation in Israel, and more specifically with Israel’s recent past. Israel has had offers of up to 94% of the west bank and gaza. yasser afarat refused these offers. No country in the world would offer such concession, but it was done in Israel. The arabs will plead for negotiations for media coverage, but wont simply cease firing rockets from Gaza into Israel on a daily basis. When negotiations do take place, suicide bombers continue to attack. Negotiations are a 2 sided affair. Israel has done her part far beyond any call of duty to negotiate and settle the issue, but is met with attack and aggression.

I cant stand discussing topics with ignorant people, so please inform yourself with the facts before you make such ridiculous comments!

Please refer to this site as there is a wealth of knowledge about the current and historical situation in Israel.

Please also refer to Debka about the killing that I'm sure you are refering to as I'm sure you are refering to the daily missile attacks coming from Gaza (which is land that has been given in the pursuit of peace)

If you are going to boycott Israel, do it properly!!!

With the recent boycott of Israeli goods, you have to wonder to what extreme goods should be boycotted…

I’ve always been a firm believer that if you do something, you should do it entirely, with full commitment. Don’t ever give a half hearted attempt at anything, because you at the end of the day will not achieve your desired goal, so I guess in the boycott Israel situation full force should be applied!

Now comes the next step in putting this boycott together. What are the Israeli products to boycott? I suppose people will look for the obvious stuff like pickles, olives and humus, but who are we really kidding? They have the best olives, pickles and humus. My tummy has much more of say than any political agenda that people seem to believe in because of ignorance, indoctrination and obvious misunderstanding of fact.

So I guess you should hit home with serious products, ones that would make a dent in everyone’s’ lives… So here is my proposed list:

The Cell phone. Don’t use those ridiculous modern appendages that cause way too much trouble in the world!! For those of you who don’t know, Israel is the developer of the modern cell phone.

For those of you who feel that you can’t relinquish the cell phone, I suppose you can show your boycott views by not using you voice mail. Yes Israel is the proud inventor of voice mail technology

Windows NP and XP. We all know we could do without these products. So stop using them and show Israel who is boss!

For those of you who have already taken this step, you should really go further with your boycott and refuse to use all Pentium MMX Chip technology, Pentium-4 microprocessors and Centrino processors. We all know that all the top computers are using other products (as if), so lets stop using only the most powerful chips on the market!

AOL instant messenger software..

PC anti virus software. This one we can for sure do without… All our computers must be immune to all the lurgys floating around the net.

For those of you who aren’t so brave, why don’t you boycott firewall technology?

I know I know… there are those of you out there who don’t use cell phones and computers and are in a dire need for a product to boycott, don’t worry! We can move into the medical field.

Israel developed the first fully computerized, non-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer. So any product that has developed from this technology should be boycotted. There is no reason why we should spot breast cancer and save lives by using Israeli technology!

Israel also invented a computerized system to ensure the proper administration of medications. Boycott this technology! Lets rather rely on humans to do so and allow for the possibility of human error to become a part of vital drug administration. We all know that discrepancies of particular drug in minute amounts are lethal, but who cares!! So long as we boycott Israel!

There is also Heart Attack Blood Tests Diagnosis by phone

“Gut Cam” – an ingestible pill video camera to diagnose cancer.

Blue-Light , skin damage free acne treatment

For those of you who are getting despondent because you have no use for cell phones, computers, or the medical profession, well we can further move onto the farming profession.

Why use a product that works with Drip Irrigation Technology for farmers that conserves water? We all know that water is a commodity that we have plenty of, so no need to conserve it right?

Solar technology? Only the greatest way to harness energy… don’t use this technology that would only make life simpler.

I reached the end of my short list… So I guess if you don’t use cell phones, computers, the medical profession, or care about the earth and the repercussions of not using sustainable technology to make a change, you probably are going to have to settle for boycotting the pickle.

Boycotting Israel would simply be your move to send the world back a couple years in developments that save lives, make the world an easier place to live in (from a technological and environmental point of view) and limit growth in South Africa itself. Educate yourself about the fact in this situation! Stop being indoctrinated by a blatantly obvious Anti Semitic news teams and learn. Not all that you see and hear on the news is true. Empower yourself to be knowledgeable. Don’t receive knowledge from one sided, radical organisations.

I hope that all of you people who choose to boycott Israel will one day need the medical technology that is flowing from Israel. Not so that it wont be available to you, as I know Israel would never hold back advances in medical and other technology to help humanity, but so that you will have to accept it with the humble pie that can only come because of your ignorance, stupidity and your lack of knowledge!
