Galloway: “shut down Israel’s shops”
The Guardian reports:
In one of several speeches delivered in Kensington Gardens, George Galloway, leftwing MP for the Respect party, called on protesters to go to shopping centres and “shut down Israel’s shops” in what was believed to be a reference to retailers, including Marks & Spencer, which have come under fire for selling Israeli-sourced goods.
Well, I suppose that’s one possible interpretation. But wait a minute. Wouldn’t that include every shop that sells computers or cell phones?
Shabba adds: Can anyone think of an Israeli high-street shop? I can’t. So what on earth could Galloway have meant by “shut down Israel’s shops”?
In his hate-filled rant yesterday, Galloway also called the Labour government “rancid traitors to the interests of the British people”.
Again, I am not sure exactly what Galloway means. If the Labour government is not working for the interests of the British people, whose interests are they serving? Erm, surely he’s not saying……..

Tim, I have no doubt whatsoever that if anyone had the guts to prosecute him, that could be defined as incitement to commit an offence even if no particular shop were mentioned.
| 11 January 2009, 1:37 pm |
PS. In the same way that some antisemites spell it Isreal, I wonder what delusional mental denialist tricks they use to pretend that they are not using electronics developed by Joos every time they use a mobile phone.

When the first bomb explodes in Marks & Spencers can we please drag the little thug up on incitement charges.

Let’s hope he needs a small bowel colonoscopy some time soon. He will eschew this, and opt for the traditional method. Any volunteers to administer it?

Bertie, the BBC website is giving barely a quarter of that figure, it’s saying 4,000, quoting a police estimate:

“Shut down” is very ambiguous. Why didn’t he just say “boycott”?
| 11 January 2009, 1:58 pm |

Was he raised a Catholic?
I think it’s time for the Catholic Church to dissociate itself from this latest wave of anti-semitism. It seems a lot of people raised by nuns and monks have ended up with these extreme so called “anti-Zionist” views – like Lauren Booth, the ex Prime Minister’s sister in law.
Given the Catholic Church’s disgraceful history of anti-semitism it surely behoves them to make clear their opposition to all anti-semitic activity, in particular linkage of anti-Jewish sentiment to anti-Israeli sentiment in this way.
Perhaps if we scratch Galloway the wee leftie we’ll find Galloway the altar boy full of tales of malevolent Jews?
Frank Skinner – the UK comedian (partnered with the Jewish David Baddiel) – in an very honest account of his Catholic childhood admitted that, when he was a child, he really did believe Jews had little horns on their heads . He’s not that old (just turned 50 I believe) – there must be plenty of other people around who were brought up with this association of Jews and Devils.
| 11 January 2009, 2:01 pm |
Can’t think off hand of any “Israeli” shops (and I live in north London!).
Of course there are a number of Jewish shops and shops like M&S that have a Jewish history – but the gorgeous one couldn’t possibly mean them could he because that would be antisemitic……………?
| 11 January 2009, 2:12 pm |
What does Flanker think Galloway was referring to?
| 11 January 2009, 2:12 pm |
Bertie, on the other hand:
Organizers estimated that as many as 20,000 people participated in the London demonstration, which took place in Trafalgar Square. — Haaretz, which gives no figure for the Manchester demo.
| 11 January 2009, 2:13 pm |
I’ve seen him in Harrods…where I do my shopping
Harrods sells Israeli produce, honestly it really does! BOYCOTT!! BOYCOTT!!
| 11 January 2009, 2:14 pm |
And – I just got back from the Peace Rally (well, certainly a lot more mentions of Peace than the hate faest yesterday). The
anti Zionist grouping was partly our old friends Naturei Karta and other supposedly “pro Palestinain” Jewish groups.
Now, I understand NK’s position on Zionism and Israel – its bollocks, but I can just about see how people might believe it. I suppose I would in all honesty have to say I understand the positon of the other groups there.
What I am blowed if I can understand is what the fuck they were doing holdding up a picture of Sheikh Nasrallah of Hezbollah. Isn’t this the charming multi culturalist who said that if all the Jews assembled in Israel it would save him the the trouble of going round the world to kill them.
But of course remember, they are not self hating Jews – just Independent Jewish Voices!

So JFJFP weren’t taking part in the raid? Despite the raid being entitled ‘peace for israel and gaza’ they were against that?!
Of course IJV wouldn’t have been there, this was organised by their arch-nemesis, the board of deputies.
| 11 January 2009, 2:22 pm |
great article in the guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/11/gaza-britain-judaism-antisemitism
stocked full of anti-semitic remarks in the comments section about howjews MUST speak out against israel otherwise anti-semitic attacks are semi-justified.

Because these zealots who use the name Neturei Karta and join pro-Hamas Demos, have separated themselves from all Rabbinic advice, and set of on their own direction.
These people don’t even follow the teachings of Rabbi Yoel Teitlebaum zt”l who they claim is their prime authority.
They have turned anti-Zionism into an idol, in the same way that some turned Zionism into an idol.
| 11 January 2009, 2:26 pm |
Galloway and chums could smash all the windows of shops and businesses run by Jews. They could call it the Night of Broken Glass or something.
We shouldn’t boycot Chinese products though. That would be Sino-phobic.
| 11 January 2009, 2:28 pm |
I see that Fwanker is in denial about the Intel chip in his phone. Sorry, it WAS developed by those horrid little swarthy Joos with the hooked noses. How sad for you.

It is, but when a ’senior cardinal’ (aka fat apparatchik) launches into antisemitic rants just yesterday, can you see it happening?

OT but why on earth did the BBC just have a MPAC spokesman on to discuss the prince Harry racism story?
| 11 January 2009, 2:35 pm |

I would suggest they have separated themselves from sanity and any connection to the real world (which by and large, Rabbinical advice urges you to keep in touch with).
On a different matter entirely: can someone explain how that greasy oik came to be known as ‘gorgeous’?
| 11 January 2009, 2:35 pm |
A boycott of Jews???
Goebels would have liked the style.
Some people might want to watch for who they’re boycotting with …
“German people’s comrades! German housewives!
You all know the disgraceful methods that so-called “German” Jews abroad are using to incite against the German people and Adolf Hitler’s national government.
If we do not want to give up and sink into deeper misery, we must defend ourselves.
We therefore call on you to heed the appeal of our Führer, the German people’s chancellor,
for a boycott against the Jews
and expect the full support of each person in this defensive action.
Do not buy from Jewish shops!
Do not go to a Jewish doctor!
But maintain the strictest discipline. Do not even touch the hair on a Jew’s head.
The boycott begins Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m.”
| 11 January 2009, 2:37 pm |
“I would suggest they have separated themselves from sanity and any connection to the real world (which by and large, Rabbinical advice urges you to keep in touch with).”
I quite agree.
| 11 January 2009, 2:38 pm |
Because to Al Beeb, one allegedly-just-maybe-racist remark by one person against brown downtrodden people trumps a real live racist rampage by thousands in central London whose target is Joos. No contest. That’s why the Harry story leads on some of their web pages. And because all brown people are brown people to the racist Al Beeb, so they are interchangeble. As in: Brits feel guilt about actions in India ==> Jews mustn’t do anything against Arabs. They are all brown, innit.

So, Flanker: here’s a 98.5% chance you disregarded that boycott just by typing that comment.
As for your bread: it is not the legend growing – just your regular paranoia.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7822656.stm”
The north two thirds of Trafalgar Square was full. The organisers claimed an attendance of 30,000.
The police I spoke to said that there were 200 on the counter-demo. From what I could here, they spent most of the time chanting “How many kids did you kill today?
The demo itself was quite uplifting with big Indian and Christian groups there too. Rabbi Sachs speech was very good, mentioning among other things the British couple whose son was killed in a terror attack in Israel and who consented to his organs being used for transplant to a Palestinian girl.
Bit of a contrast in emphasis to the Garkad tree stuff, eh George?
| 11 January 2009, 2:47 pm |
Galloway wants a boycott of all JEWISH shops.
Meanwhile, there were no rioting protesters for peace in today’s pro-Israel rally at Trafalgar Square!
Does anyone else see the difference? Stop the War and their “peaceful” team always have violent demos…
And, if the Hamasniks want to boycott Israeli and Jewish products – do us all a favour and STOP using the latest heart medication, diabetes medication, refuse the new heart and lung monitors, CT scans, cancer treatments, keyhole bypass operations, and brain surgery.
That notwithstanding, stop using all voicemail technology including mobile phones, CPUs, VOIP, etc.
Anyone who wants to boycott, but still uses the medicines and technology above is a bloody HYPOCRITE!

The technology inside will have been developed by, or based on technology developed by, Israeli tech companies. Factoid. As, indeed, will the computer your using to read your favourite political blog, Harry’s Place.
There’s a thought, as some of HP’s contributors are Jewish and pro-Israeli, why don’t you boycott Harry’s Place?

I just watched the BBCs coverage of todays rally in slo-mo.
The 2 sets of banners they showed were ‘JFJFP bannerc procaliming ‘jews against israeli action’ and the second was form the anti-jew rally.
In this rally we saw neturei karta and at the back there were ‘WE ARE ALL HAMAS NOW’ banners. upsetting, yes. expected, yes.
| 11 January 2009, 3:18 pm |
Note: Not a single show of the ‘peace for israel and gaza’ banner.
| 11 January 2009, 3:20 pm |

So again, the legend grows again and again, my cellphone proc is based on the ARM architecture (and so are 98% of all cellphones), something far, far away from the x86 based Centrino and Core 2 Duo M that the design bureau in Israel is responsible for.
You cannot claim all other processors (ARM, RISC, etc)
You cannot claim x86 (AMD)
You cannot even claim all of Intel (Core i7 was not designed in Israel)
All you can claim are a few trinkets here and there and create these legends to make you feel better, nothing to be ashamed off since you are a small country, but frankly egocentric.

Dolt the proc on my phone is made by samsung.
The Pentium-M family (codenamed “Banias” after a place in the Golan Heights) and Intel Core family (codenamed “Merom” after the Hebrew for “heaven”) account for pretty much 99% of all computers bigger than a phone. Both were designed at Intel Haifa.
Further, the only recent Intel family not designed in Israel – NetBurst – was a piece of crap and quickly abandoned.
The moral of this story is: make sure the sticker says Israel inside®.
| 11 January 2009, 3:28 pm |
I don’t go around telling neocons and freepers to turn off the lights because they might be using our oil to power their homes.

Yo have got to be shitting me, AMD controls almost 50% of retail purchased processors for desktops(not OEM) and 25%+ of the server market . Seriously I am getting some delight in purchasing AMD now, before they were just historically better, but now they are ego deflaters. Intel is where they are at for monopoly tactics, not because of what Israel did with Centrino.

Why do people take seriously the Wanker? He compared the danger of the Palestinian rockets to the danger of meteorites. I still need to see one Israeli dead from a meteorite.

Well, you see Flanker: that is exactly where you are wrong.
Your display of ignorance is the very blood of Hamas’ martyr machine.
They don’t want their kids to evacuate from Gaza, no: they want them killed in front of your eyes.
They just love your infantile freedom fighting romance…
Now, Flanker: isn’t it uncomfortable knowing that your lack of knowledge is actually getting folks killed?
| 11 January 2009, 3:37 pm |
Why do people take seriously the Wanker?
Does anyone really take him seriously though? I thought it was well understood that he – like the equally idiotic TheIrie – was something of a cretin. I vote we ignore him until he goes away.
| 11 January 2009, 3:38 pm |
“Why do people take seriously the Wanker?”
Where?
Heh hee can’t say I have ever seen anyone take him seriously!
| 11 January 2009, 3:40 pm |
Well, I suppose that’s one possible interpretation. But wait a minute. Wouldn’t that include every shop that sells computers or cell phones?
Of course.
And Israel’s boycott of Wagner should include Berg, Bruckner, Dvořák, César Franck, Glazunov, Liszt, Mahler and Schoenberg, since they were all influenced by the notorious antisemite.
And while we’re at it, Israel should refrain from using the guided missile, a Nazi invention.
Let’s ban Judeophobes Voltaire, Pushkin, Goethe, T. S. Eliot and Saramago from Israel’s libraries!
Or, better still, burn their books in the street!
| 11 January 2009, 3:41 pm |
“Intel Core family (codenamed “Merom” after the Hebrew for “heaven”)”
This is wrong Merom is codename for the Core 2 MOBILE family.
“Now, Flanker: isn’t it uncomfortable knowing that your lack of knowledge is actually getting folks killed?”
O RLY? My lack of knowledge has no finger on any trigger. Israel is killing civilians because Gaza is the most densely populated autonomous REGION (aka not city state) in the world, they know that if they pull a trigger to drop a bomb they will kill innocents, yet they do it anyhow.
| 11 January 2009, 3:42 pm |
I may be paranoid, but at least I can comfort myself in knowing I don’t kill people.
Flanker
Well, you see Flanker: that is exactly where you are wrong.
Actually, for once in his for want of a better word life, Flanker is actually right here. He doesn’t kill people. He trolls a blog, as demanded by his glaring and hugely debilitating personality disorder. Not killing people is however a characteristic shared by all other HP commenters, so it’s hardly something to boast about. Having a glaring and hugely debilitating personality disorder is less common, so maybe he could work that angle a bit more.

So Non-Israeli Jews can’t be tolerated as equal members of European society as long as Israel defends itself against its genocidal enemies, but after all, Israel doesn’t have the right to exist, but then again Israel came into being as a response to the industrialized genocide of the Jews by Europeans. Now it all makes sense.

Anti-semites in and around israel tell us to get back to Europe. Anti-semites in Europe tell us to get back to Israel.
If only all anti-semites would sing form the same hymn sheet and then jews wouldn’t so confused as to what to do to stop anti-semitic attacks.

Of course there isn’t an Israelli boycott of Wagner in any official sense. Many Israelis have Wagner CDs and don’t fear the midnight knock because of it.
There is still a strong and understandable distaste for Wagner among the many Israelis who associate it with the Nazis, but Daniel Barenboim did play the “Tristan and Isolde” prelude recently at the concert depite some cat calls from the audience.
And of course some of Wagner’s gratest interpreters were Jews including Herman Levi who Wagner himself chose to conduct the premiere of Parsifal.
Now HB – why don’t you gp and play among the traffic?

Can anyone think of an Israeli high-street shop? I can’t. So what on earth could Galloway have meant by “shut down Israel’s shops”?
And what on earth could Rabbi Yossi Stern, of the Ruach Tzfonit Yeshiva, have meant when he called on Jews to “boycott the Arab sector?” Can anyone work out the meaning of those cryptical words?
| 11 January 2009, 4:05 pm |
I have been looking all day on my computer (here in Italy) for coverage of today’s demonstration and couldn’t find anyrhing. I presume HP will give us good clips and coverage.
I am waking up with dismay to the fact that some of the fanatics that post on HP (including Jews) do not only object to Israel’s attack on Gaza, but are actively in favour of Hamas (as one HPer warned me) – the people who now say it’s O.K. to kill, not only Israeli children, but Jewish ones all over the world – and evidently also in favour eliminating the state of Israel (as well, often, as the entire gentile world -any target will do for terrorists).
Ashford, who raises some valid points on the ‘Israel has gotta go’ thread’ invalidates them by saying Hamas and the Iranian and other fundamentalists are not such bad sorts. Ashford himself knows that this isn’t true and is telling transparent lies to himself, belying his own good intentions. It’s a pity these should get lost. This kind of dishonesty can only be explained as a fixation, a form of socialised schizophrenia.
Justice becomes a weapon for injustice.
The more I hear of, see and read such people, the more the conviction gathers in me that Israel could not have reacted in any other way. Hamas itself is responsible for the tragedy.
| 11 January 2009, 4:05 pm |

“These people don’t even follow the teachings of Rabbi Yoel Teitlebaum zt”l who they claim is their prime authority”
This is false. NK do not regard Satmar as their teachers, indeed seeing as they all trace their Semicha back to the Vilna Gaon, they must technically regard them as under cheirum.

the people who now say it’s O.K. to kill, not only Israeli children, but Jewish ones all over the world
Sabre-rattling.

To get back to Galloway, ’shut the Israeli shops’ can only have one meaning: ’shut the Jewish shops.’ Otherwise it makes no sense. There may be an Israeli shop somewhere in Europe but I haven’t yet come across one. I’m glad to say that, in Rome, after a Galloway type issued a demand that Jewish shops be boycotted, many Romans flocked to Jewish shops to spend generously.

Sorry to be a nuisance, but I’m simply longing for a salt beef sandwich with mustard and cucumber. Too few Jews in Verona.

Well. I saw the pictures of demonstrators throwing some articles at British police. Many of the demonstrators were masked in some way.
If I was an average UK resident, I would be offended by seeing these pictures so common in dysfunctional countries of the world.
My feeling is that even if I did not look with favor on Israel’s actions, this picture of the demonstrators would have caused me to have sympathy with Israel.
Now. Gorgeous George is one of the most abhorred persons in the UK. His support for the Hamas cause is, I feel, really damaging to that cause.
Of course, my feelings may be those of a wicked and evil neocon.
However, I think that George’s appearance at the rally supporting Hamas was a PR coup for Israel.
(I wonder if some pro Israel organisation actually financed the rally.)
| 11 January 2009, 5:00 pm |
Oh you would win that bet easily, I do have plans to go to Israel (or to be more precise Israeli controlled Palestine) to witness first hand the reason they don’t let foreign reporters in. That said I will avoid Israeli gov’t Potemkin tours.
So no interest in balance then? NO interest in visiting Sderot on your way into Gaza?

This compares favorably with Israel, where when a rabbi calls for a boycott of Arab businesses, the citizens, far from flocking to Arab stores to buy, issue their own boycott call.
Yet Europe is considered to be a hotbed of antisemitism, and Israel a light unto the nations.
HB – my mate’s gran said that the bloody jews deserve everything they get. Do you agree with that statement?
No, I don’t agree with that horrible statement. I didn’t condemn it before because I was unaware that it had been made. But now I understand why Israel had to bomb Gaza.
| 11 January 2009, 5:11 pm |
In his hate-filled rant yesterday, Galloway also called the Labour government “rancid traitors to the interests of the British people”.
A better case for treason or sedition is calling on British soldiers to disobey orders or actually supporting those carrying out attacks on them.
| 11 January 2009, 5:24 pm |
So, is he seriously calling for a boycott of Jewish shops….
Then Galloway is the Oswald Mosely of the 21st century.
| 11 January 2009, 5:27 pm |
Of course there isn’t an Israelli boycott of Wagner in any official sense.
| 11 January 2009, 5:29 pm |
I agree, Alec.
Someone mentioned the word ‘dysfunctional’. We are a dysfunctional country if such open and public treason is not dealt with swiftly by the courts because our government consists of cowards and lunatics.
| 11 January 2009, 5:30 pm |
I wonder which part of ‘want’ is causing HB such difficulties.
| 11 January 2009, 5:34 pm |
Yes -Al Jazeera for once is right. Shots were fired earlier from Syrian territory at civilian workers mending the border fence near Alonei HaBashan in the Golan Heights. No-one was injured. It is not thought to be the Syrian army who fired however, but some lone shooter.
Funniest news of the day – Hamas have published pictures of stuff they claim to have captured from Israeli soldiers including spent cartidges, a used (& therefore defunct) rpg launcher and…..wait for it…….some Israeli-made hotdog sausages.
Apparantly a resolution is on its way from the UN concerning the inhumanity of not leaving them mustard and sauerkraut too.
| 11 January 2009, 5:46 pm |
will he suggest people should boycott ‘jewish’ football clubs as well?? be great news for spurs as if sides refuse to play us on account of the fact we are apparently ‘jewish’ wed get awarded the points!! hey if this campaign really takes off we might even stay up this season!!!
bring it on george ..bring it on…..
but on a more serious note isnt there some infamous historical precedent for ‘jewish’ shops being shut down????? er.. wasnt it called kristalnacht???
| 11 January 2009, 5:49 pm |
Hasnt anyone noticed that Galloway is looking more like Sauron by the day … Morgoth should have cottoned on.

Thanks for the link you provided @ 5:09 pm Alberto which shows that the causality you imply in the statement made above is a gross misrepresentation and libel.
| 11 January 2009, 5:57 pm |
I wonder which part of ‘want’ is causing HB such difficulties.
“A special session of the Israeli parliament on Wednesday unanimously demanded that organizers of the upcoming Israel Festival cancel a Wagnerian concert.”
| 11 January 2009, 6:04 pm |
a gross misrepresentation and libel
“During protests that took place in Akko posters with the slogan “A Jew shall not buy from an Arab” were distributed, and Ynet has learned that a senior city official approved the boycott.”
In Rome it was lunatic from a trade union. In Israel, BOTH the government AND the Jewish residents supported the boycott of Arab stores.
| 11 January 2009, 6:04 pm |
“I do have plans to go to Israel (or to be more precise Israeli controlled Palestine)”
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

The Hasbara Buster, aka, Yusuf, the Argentinean pogromchik is back.
As usual he tries to counter an antisemitic attack on Jew by finding a “similar” anti Arab assault in Israel.
If one reads the entire story he linked too one will notice that the situation is not analogous and that an attempted previous boycott was unsuccesful.
Moreover, had the boycott gone ahead this time it would have been all over the front pages of the Guardian and other anti-Israel papers.
HB pogromchik strikes out again.
| 11 January 2009, 7:15 pm |
Are some of the advanced digital cameras Jewish ? Well not exactly but it is a fact that Joos have invented the eye controlled auto focusing mechanism found in most of the top end digital cameras like Canon EOS 5D, 1D etc. Not kidding. Most photo journalists use these cameras. The principle is based on work of two Israeli scientists who described the nuts and bolts of the idea in a 60’s paper.
| 11 January 2009, 7:16 pm |
This is what our Argentean pogromchik “Hasbara Buster” keeps not mentioning. He doesn’t want to talk about the Jew hatred in his own country, a hatred in which he participates:
From the BBC:
“Argentina marks 1994 bomb attack” (Note: it’s 15 years and counting)
“Argentines have been marking the anniversary of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires that left 85 people dead and about 300 injured.
Thousands of mourners gathered to honour the dead and called once again for investigations to be stepped up and those responsible brought to justice.
Nobody has ever been convicted, but the current government has said it is determined to secure justice.
A prosecutor last year blamed Hezbollah for the blast, which the group denied.
A siren sounded at the precise time the bomb exploded at 0953 (1253 GMT).
People lit candles, laid roses and held aloft photographs of the victims as the names of the 85 dead were read out.
The blast on 18 July 1994 reduced the seven-storey Jewish-Argentine Mutual Association (AMIA) community centre in Buenos Aires to rubble.
The scale of death and destruction left Argentina’s 200,000-strong Jewish community, Latin America’s largest, in shock.
“We were looking for justice but we found impunity,” read a large banner at Tuesday’s ceremony.
Luis Czyczewsky, whose daughter died in the blast, called for more to be done – not only for the crime to be solved but for Argentina to take a stronger stance against terrorism.
“Today we are left with a sense of impotence, with our anger,” he told the crowd.
“Once again, impunity is winning the battle.”
Unsolved
Over the years, the case has been marked by rumours of cover-ups and accusations of incompetence but little in the way of hard evidence.
Minor figures, including a policeman who sold the van used in the attack have been named, but no-one has been convicted.
Many accused previous governments of doing too little to find the perpetrators. “
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5190892.stm
The current administration of President Nestor Kirchner has expressed a firm desire to produce results but so far there has been little obvious progress, says the BBC’s South America correspondent Daniel Schweimler.
Mr Kirchner’s cabinet chief, Alberto Fernandez, said that the courts would do all they could to find the attackers.
Members of the US-based World Jewish Congress (WJC) were to meet the president after the commemorations to add their voices to calls for the authorities to do more.
Local Jewish groups have long said the bombing bore the hallmarks of Iranian-backed Islamic militants.
Iran has repeatedly and vehemently denied any involvement in the attack.
Last November, an Argentine prosecutor said a member of the Islamic militant group, Hezbollah, was behind the attack and had been identified in a joint effort by Argentine intelligence and the FBI.
But Hezbollah said that the man, Ibrahim Hussein Berro, had died in southern Lebanon while fighting Israel.
The 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which killed 29 people, also remains unsolved.”
Don’t talk to me about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, fuck head, talk about Argentinean attacks on Jews.

Now we know why George really wanted to nationalise Woolworth’s – to have a true (’pure’ to use the Hamas vocabulary) juden-rein retail presence as an alternative to the Jewish shops he wants closed.

Over at Indymedia, someone has noticed that Tivall, makers of okayish vegetarian products (not, frankly, as good as Linda Mac or Quorn, but that’s neither here nor there) is an ISRAELI product and are thus calling for a boycott. Instead, suggests the first commenter, people shluld switch to Fry’s, which they believe is a “Small, UK, family business”.
No it isn’t. Fry’s of course is South African, and would have itself been boycotted a few years ago.
Which makes one wonder whether these boycotts actually make any sense. Should I, for example, go and picket the Chinese takeaway down the road because I disapprove of the situation in Tibet?
| 11 January 2009, 8:05 pm |
As I have said before. Israel should increase the royalties they charge on all intellectual properties these antisemites use by a factor of 20.
| 11 January 2009, 8:19 pm |

Dan: ‘So no interest in balance then? NO interest in visiting Sderot on your way into Gaza?’
Sderot? Oh, you mean Najd, the Palestinian village whose inhabitants were expelled to the Gaza Strip by the Haganah on pain of death in 1948?
Yes, a good idea. In fact, why not make a tour of every one of the 530 Palestinian towns and villages ethnically cleansed between 1947 and 1948?
Plan Dalet anyone?
| 11 January 2009, 8:30 pm |
“Sderot? Oh, you mean Najd, the Palestinian village whose inhabitants were expelled to the Gaza Strip by the Haganah on pain of death in 1948?”
No, he means Sderot a city founded in 1954 by Jeiwsh refugess from Arab lands, mostly Morocco and Iraq.

talk about this Pogromchik, HB.
No one cares about what you on other subjects.

OT but why on earth did the BBC just have a MPAC spokesman on to discuss the prince Harry racism story?
That was Asghar “Martyr yourself for Palestine” Bukhari.
| 11 January 2009, 9:35 pm |
Let me bust Flanker wide open with this “Israel Technology” debate. Perhaps, Flanker, you would like to argue with me? If you do you taken on 30 years of experience in the computer industry. Want to try your luck? Go for it numbskull!
OK, who DOES make the RISC processor?
Answer: “EVERYONE”!!!
Because RISC simply stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer and Intel definitely make one. EVERY processor manufacturer makes one!!!
Now, you say your phone doesn’t have an Intel chip in it. So be it. So, what are the chips that are used in the interfaces which drive the screen, process the keyboard, make the sounds etc. Intel make more than just CPU’s and remember there is an Intel Israel. A Joo, without doubt made or designed something in your phone.
Also, your phone, being much smarter than you may well be running a version of Windows Mobile from Microsoft.
Yo have got to be shitting me, AMD controls almost 50% of retail purchased processors for desktops(not OEM) and 25%+ of the server market . Seriously I am getting some delight in purchasing AMD now, before they were just historically better, but now they are ego deflaters. Intel is where they are at for monopoly tactics, not because of what Israel did with Centrino.
Not sure this is either BOLLOCKS or a LIE, or you are so fucking immoral that you will post things even if you don’t know if they are correct. (stating that its “retail purchases” might be designed to try and bluff. Company purchases are ALSO retial purchases!!!)
Earlier this year, AMD CEO Hector Ruis boldly pledged to return the company to profitability in the second half of 2008. A recent iSuppli report indicates that this may be an even harder task than originally projected, as AMD actually lost market share in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.
In the first quarter, Intel earned 79.7 percent of the revenue in the global microprocessor market, compared to just 13 percent for AMD.
INTEL HAVE 80% OF THE MARKET!!!!!!
You suggest that Israel has nothing to do with the latest Intel chip technology. It doesn’t work like that. Processor design is like a baton. Each enhancement to a design goes forward to the next design. Intel have worldwide development (I’ve visited them) and Intel Israel is on the team. You lose that one!
Its the same with Microsoft Operating systems. Israel took the lead for things like Windows Me but its also true that even in Vista you will find code kernels developed by Israeli staff just as you will find code going back to things like Windows NT.
Cisco Israel will be important to you because (without looking) Cisco probably have at least 70% market share of routers and firewalls that carry your pathetic keystrokes across the Internet through various servers, being a mix of Intel/Microsoft as well as other manufacturers, to HP, to delight us with your stupidity.
Also, you will find that Intel Duo outperforms AMD. Take it from me as someone who has owned both and who now has one of the fastest Core Duo laptops available. AMD provides a dual processor technology but not as fast as Intel who ALSO have the advantage of being able to better integrate with Intel buss technology on the motherboard. Power isn’t just processor MIPS.
You are welcome to try and come back at me but I wouldn’t bother if I was you.
BUSTED!!!
| 11 January 2009, 9:38 pm |
I wonder which part of ‘demanded’ Yusuf, or Yossi, or Jose, or whatever (I am only quoting what he himself has said) finds so difficult to follow.
Is there a boycott, or is there not?

Antisemitic products, eh? A Jew-hating lightbulb, already …
Pity the parents.

Right Brett, I’m afraid I have to take issue with you on this. Tivall frankfurters are far superior to anything Linda or Quorn have to offer.
| 11 January 2009, 11:09 pm |
zkharya, there are photos of the unwashed crusties “occupying” the shop here:

This all just makes me want to buy Ahava products, which I’d actually avoided doing in the past because I thought they were overpriced.

Without a shadow of a doubt. Ditto the schnitzel.
Oddly enough, I didn’t particularly like the Tival products I had in Israel.

Every time a Neanderthal shit talks about boycotting Israeli products, up go my purchases by 50% for several weeks ;-)

| 15 July 2009, 6:44 pm |
We here all talk about anti-semitic this and anti-semitic that but what does anti-semitic really mean. The term is not only exclusive to jews bt it also includes hatred and racism towards arabs!
I suspect a deliberate vagueness on Georges part, as the big wee man knows what an incitement charge against a specific shop may mean.
It also allows a fairly open interpretation by any ant semites listening to him who he may wish to distance himself from, if Jewish owned shops have their windows broken.
Here’s the rant.

Again, depends on who is defining “stolen land”
