Israeli law
prohibits the entry into Israel of any foreigner who makes a public call for boycotting Israel
or boycotting the West Bank settlements.
Nazi boycott of Jewish shops
in Berlin, 1933.
The placards say:
"Germans defend yourselves! Don't buy from Jews."
From here.
And more images.
You would think that Europeans would avoid any boycott of Israel because of its echoes of the
Nazi boycott of Jews.
But sadly no.
There are vast numbers of people calling for a boycott of Israel.
I could not list them all.
All the anti-semites, Jew-haters, Holocaust-deniers and neo-Nazis.
All the
Islamists, jihadists and terrorists.
All the communists, Stalinists, Trots and Marxists.
All the haters of America.
All the haters of the West.
All the terrorism fans around the world.
In Ireland, the Sinn Fein / IRA people.
And there are others that should know better, who line up with these awful people
instead of on the side of the tolerant liberal democracy of Israel.
The state TV of anti-semitic and clerical-fascist Iran
is delighted with the
NUI Galway students
who voted to boycott Israel in March 2014.
DCU SJP got their anti-Israel vote passed in 2019.
They claim
they started "important conversations".
They did not have a single conversation with people who disagree with them.
2016 Irish exports to Israel.
Ireland exported goods to Israel of value $2.1 bn.
Top categories: integrated circuits, computers, packaged medicaments and broadcasting equipment.
Why throw this away just to make
far-left socialists
and far-right Islamists happy?
Limerick boycott of the Jews
in 1904.
From
here.
You would think that Irish people would avoid any boycott of Israel because of its echoes of the
Limerick boycott of Jews.
But sadly no.
Irish thugs
protest at an Israeli kiosk selling beauty products in
Jervis Street Shopping Centre, Dublin, Jan 2009.
In Odense, Denmark, in Dec 2008,
the mob at a similar kiosk selling hair-care products eventually
shot the Israelis.
Irish terrorist-supporters attack Israeli goods in a supermarket in Belfast, Aug 2014.
Note the flag of the terrorist PFLP.
See
other video.
Irish band
Dervish cancels their tour of Israel, 30 Apr 2012, after foolishly listening to
Irish Israel-haters.
They claim they don't want to be political.
Too late for that.
You've just made an ignorant political statement.
From their facebook.
Shame on them.
Dervish played on
an Irish trade mission to China in Jan 2005.
From Irish Times,
1 Feb 2005
(also here).
Hypocrites.
Shame on anybody who ever signed any of these petitions.
Irish politicians sign a
petition calling for sanctions against Israel, June 2004.
Of course, they all have signed similar petitions calling
for sanctions against
Cambodia,
China,
Cuba,
Egypt,
Iran,
Libya,
North Korea,
Pakistan,
the Palestinian Authority,
Russia,
Rwanda,
Saudi Arabia,
Sudan,
Syria,
Vietnam
and
Zimbabwe.
Of course they have.
Proinsias De Rossa (Labour).
Michael D. Higgins (Labour),
"signing on behalf of the entire parliamentary Labour Party".
Mick Lanigan (FF).
Terry Leyden (FF).
A load of people from the Greens
and from the violent group Sinn Fein.
Irish artists that have pledged to boycott Israel.
From here.
I like some of them, so this is a shame.
I will continue to try to enjoy them, despite their crappy politics.
Ronit Lentin on
19 Dec 2018
says she has no sympathy for the
7 Jewish settlers shot in the West Bank
by a racist anti-semitic terrorist.
A pregnant woman lost her baby, but Lentin has no sympathy.
It is the Jews' fault for living in the "wrong" place.
They should know that living in that place would make racists like the shooter angry.
The horrific
Gideon Levy article she approves of is here.
Ronit Lentin
in a talk, Oct 2018, promotes a
fake quote
by Menachem Begin.
See wider screenshot.
She claims the quote appears in "Begin and the 'beasts'", New Statesman, June 25, 1982.
But this is false.
Here is a photo
of that article
(from here)
and the quote does not appear.
See more at
the Begin Center
and CAMERA
and here.
Apparently she put this fake quote on p.100 of her book
Traces of Racial Exception: Racializing Israeli Settler Colonialism,
Ronit Lentin (Bloomsbury Academic, 2018).
She sang
at the funeral of IRA terrorist leader and mass murderer
Martin McGuinness in 2017.
Frances Black
got into the Senate in 2016.
She immediately started a campaign against Israel for no obvious reason.
She proposed, for no obvious reason at this time, a boycott of Israeli settlements.
This campaign gained a lot of traction from people who should know better.
Frances Black
says Jews building houses is a war crime.
"I saw the impact of settlement expansion when I visited the West Bank ... I witnessed ... the crushing indignity of a Palestinian community having been cut off from its water supply which had been diverted to support an Israeli chicken farm.
That is horrendous and the injustice of it will stay with me forever.
That commercial settlement built on stolen land beyond Israel's internationally recognised borders is a war crime."
Jews building houses is a "war crime".
But Martin McGuinness commits actual war crimes and she sings at his funeral!
The chicken farm story:
One also wonders if her story about the water stolen for a "chicken farm" is even true.
She never gave the name of the Palestinian community,
and repeated attempts to ask her online
by me
and others
met with silence.
Does this "Palestinian community" actually exist?
Was the Irish Senate vote on Israel swung by fake news?
Frances Black
in the Irish Senate, 15 May 2018,
talks about the "despair" of the people of Gaza.
She never even mentions terrorism.
Israel is blockading Gaza for fun, apparently.
Actual
Irish Nazis, anti-semites and Holocaust deniers
are excited by the Frances Black boycott bill.
Yes of course anti-Israel people are not all Nazis.
There are a range of bad reasons
why people are anti-Israel.
But if Nazis agree with you about the Jews, maybe you've got it wrong.
The FG-FF coalition
formed after the
2020 election
apparently dumped the boycott Israel bill.
FF compromised on it.
So Ireland is saved from international disgrace (and possible US retribution) for now.
The boycott Israel people will not give up.
The struggle against them will continue.
