Lunatics smash up more shops
The latest victim in the “smash something up for peace” campaign is a branch of Tesco in Swansea. Luckily no one had to be hospitalised after this incident, unlike a previous attackin which a Tesco delivery driver’s head was smashed by a brick hurled by a peace protester in Shoreditch.

Tesco in Swansea smashed by idiots.
In this latest episode – photo above courtesy of, no doubt, one of the perpetrators – produce labeled “West Bank” was thrown around and splashed with ‘blood’ (which looks suspiciously like pasta sauce). An unctious busy-body crouches in the starter position behind her handiwork, ready (one supposes) to launch into a self-rightious tirade. Behind her, the most articulate member of the smash-up-Jew-shops brigade bangs on a toy drum, thumping home their bewildering neapolitana libel.
According to their report boastful ego trip on Indymedia, the sole evidence for the targeted produce is that the label says “West Bank” as country of origin.
Now, for some perspective. The West Bank currently exports around US$340 million per annum. Indeed, the World Bank thinks there is significant scope for improvement. David Craig, World Bank Country Director for the West Bank and Gaza, says:
“The Palestinian economy has the potential for dramatic growth, even in the midst of the current global recession. This can only be achieved by the private sector through export oriented growth.”
That’s the World Bank’s view. So do these economically and geopolitically illiterate nincompoops from a Swansea squat really think they’re helping the people of Gaza, or the Palestinian people in general, by sabotaging their export market on the shaky basis that some products from some Israeli settlements also carry the “West Bank” mark?
The bizarre assumption seems to be that West Bank Palestinians live in tents or something and it is only the Israeli settlements that are economically active. This is far from the truth.
Of course, all sensible people realise the link between economic stability and prosperity – and peace. So leave it to know-nothing British fuckwits to wreck any prospect of that!
Twenty years ago, black South African musicians like Ray Phiri, Joseph Tshabalala, Bakhiti Kumalo and Vusi Mahlasela were queuing up for the opportunity to work with Paul Simon and to bring black South African music to the world. So what did the know-better fuckwits in the UK do? Led a boycott of Simon and picketed his concerts, of course.
Sometimes one wishes these people would just find a hobby, or – failing that – not just do something, stand there! Preferably out of the way.

Isn’t the demented cow arrestable from this evidence?
In the video, she is being led away by a cop. I hope they nab all the others too.
| 27 January 2009, 9:23 pm |
In the video, there’s a closeup of the product from the West Bank. Can anyone tell if it comes from a Palestinian or from an Israeli source?
| 27 January 2009, 9:24 pm |
All they had to do was go to the ‘Kosher’ section.

liberated dates? are these people serious?

Gene:
C’mon, the West Bank, having failed to come to the aid of Gaza, is probably seen as traitors to the cause by these fanatics so even if the stuff was entirely produced by Palestinians who aren’t taking the hated Zionist Entity’s shekel, it’s to be despised.
| 27 January 2009, 9:39 pm |
“Never mind a hobby, they need to find a job and get a life!”
Are there no jails in Great britain? I’m serious.

First they came for Starbucks, and I didn’t care, as I hate their coffee. Then they came for Tescos, and they don’t carry the apples I like. But next they will come for Sainsburys. . . Vigilante groups all round.

P.S. Why do they photograph themselves?

The word is unctuous. Sorry, but I am an ex English teacher. I would would have just called her a rancid frustrated old twat, but that’s me.

‘Liberated Dates!’ At least uni students are learning more creative ways to say ’shoplifting’.
These protesters are totally mental. They call themselves ‘left’ but turn smash up shops with a greater or lesser Jewish connection and a blind eye to screeching racist loons who they are marching with and supporting. To say nothing of putting people off buying stuff that is most likely giving Palestinians jobs. The Mad Hatter couldn’t have done better. Utterly, utterly mindbendingly mad.

Please buy Israeli goods. Look for 7 290 on the barcode.

I recall that someone on one of the weekend blogs on the Guardian’s CiF site was putting it about that ALL products labelled “West Bank” were from the settlements. I think she was part of the Boycott campaign leadership. She was urging people “not to be fooled” into believing it was from Palestinain farms.
If that is indeed wrong how on earth can these nutjobs really call themselves friends of the Palestinians?
Maybe the richly earned prison sentences suggested above will give them time to think that one over.
| 27 January 2009, 9:51 pm |
I hope Tesco make them pay for all the goods they’ve damaged.
When I get hassled by these types outside supermarkets I usually ask them what I have to buy to get the free Gaza.
When ARE these people going to get a life? Or a hobby -maybe performing arts?
Gene – re. your question as to whether the items are Israeli or Palestinian -I looked at the video (sans volume) but it’s very difficult to say. Ironically, if Britain hadn’t pressurised Israel into marking goods made in Judea & Samaria as ‘West Bank’ then it might have been easier for these loonies to be sure they were actually targeting Israeli produce rather than Palestinian.
| 27 January 2009, 9:54 pm |
this is good. it keeps the riffraff out of Waitrose.
| 27 January 2009, 9:54 pm |
Dear me, those nasty Israelis have “appropriated scare water resources to produce these goods.”
Idiots, indeed. Idiots who can’t even spell.
| 27 January 2009, 9:55 pm |
At least at Tesco you can just walk on by. It’s worse when you actually have to interact with people like her on a daily basis… like at university, for example, where they’re cut from the same revolting cloth only louder.

What always gets me about people like this is how dumb they are. It’s like their stupidity makes it necessary for them to find the extreme ends of the political spectrum to provide the certainties their diminished faculties will not allow them purely from dealing with the world as it really is.
What a fantastic way to show solidarity with the people of Palestine! Destroy their livelihoods! Woo-hoo!
Twits, the lot of ‘em.

Last Sunday I wanted some Rosemary & Sage for a soup…taking in the fresh herb section the sole options on offer in Tesco’s were from Israel. I decided to manage with whatever dried herbs I had at home as dead chidren, white phosphorous, blockades, F-16s, drones, UN facilities being attacked, Orwellian justification for mass-murder, anti-Arab graffiti from the IDF, etc tend to put you off food…

Matzvar said:”fascinating, too, how the grim SA men have morphed into concerned elderly ladies”
The only very small consolation is mentalist Israel and Jew hating old ladies will die or get too old to ‘protest’ relatively soon unlike the aforementioned probably fit SA man.

Yeah the lecturers are worse. I can feel everyone being brainwashed around me during lectures… people snorting with contempt every time Bush or Blair’s name gets mentioned. The other day I heard someone behind me ask his friend what neo conservatism means (which was worrying in itself) and his friend answered “it basically means you’re a massive twat”. I’m not making this stuff up.
| 27 January 2009, 10:19 pm |
The thing about Telma, Ossem etc is that these are all staple Kosher products for British Jews. Destroying or trying to get stores not to carry them is discriminatory.

For all boycotters of Israeli goods: Here at JBIG we’d like to make it easy for you. Please sign this form, print it off and give a copy to your physician. You should also provide one to your next of kin and keep one about your person, in case of a medical emergency. Where about your person you might wish to secrete it is up to you, but suggestions can be provided.
“I, jasonaparkes, declare that if admitted to hospital I do not want to receive any Zionist medical treatment developed in Israel or by Israelis, wherever in the world they may reside. This includes in particular the miniaturised, self-propelling, self-navigating and disposable colonoscopic camera called the Aer-O-Scope.
This Zionist technology was developed by Ben Goldwasser who founded the Israeli startup company GI-View in 2003. The Aer-O-Scope uses a balloon and air pressure to carry a miniature camera though the bowel. The camera boasts a feature called Omnivision – which enables 360 degree viewing of the colon, including inside hard-to-see folds where polyps tend to grow. A study, published as the cover story in the March 2006 issue of the medical journal Gastroentology, reported that in trials conducted in Croatia, the device made it through the entire length of the colon in 10 of 12 people. According to Professor Nadir Arber, head of the Department for Cancer Prevention at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and president of GI View’s scientific advisory board, the Aer-O-Scope provides images comparable with those of a standard colonoscopy, but with virtually none of the discomfort. The idea of using a camera in a device that moves through the colon is not new, according to Goldwasser, who trained at Duke and the Mayo Clinic before becoming professor and chairman of the department of urology at Tel Hashomer Medical Center in the 1980s. “The reason others failed is because they tried to think of motion in a classical sense – as motion created by traction – whether it’s traction on the ground when you’re walking or traction on the road,” he explained. “The colon is covered with mucous – which makes it slippery, much like ice. And like walking on ice, you have to glide. So the idea of the motion balloon came to us. If you have a balloon that can change its shape and diameter according to the changing shape of a colon, it could work like a piston inside an engine’s cylinder. Just like a cylinder is driven by the air pressure, if you take a balloon that accommodates to the size and shape of the area it’s in, it can be driven forward.” The device consists of a disposal unit with a rectal introducer, supply cable and scope contained within a scanning balloon, plus an automated console that directs the action under the guidance of a technician. The operator introduces the device into the rectum, and presses the forward button on the control panel. First the rectal balloon is inflated and then the scanner balloon with the embedded electro optical capsule is inflated. Pressure sensors within the workstation continuously measure the pressure inside, in front of and behind the scanner balloon. The console computer automatically controls the pressure in all three compartments and ensures that the balloon moves forward at the lowest possible pressure. At any time during the forward or reverse motion of the scanner balloon, the operator may press the pause or stop buttons. Pause can be used to gain a better look with the camera or to change the direction of balloon motion. Stop can be used to instantly deflate all compartments, for instance if the patient requests a rest.
Should I need a colonoscopy, I wish it to be known that on no account should this Zionist procedure be used for me, painless though it is. I would like instead to have the former procedure used on me, namely a cold, large (2 feet long) and painful (made of steel) anal probe shoved up my arse.
If the pain gets too much, just give me some painkillers – provided they were not made or developed by Zionists ……….
Yours sincerely

This is the same woman who glued herself to the security gates of the BBC building in Cardiff.
And apparently – according to indymedia –
“The ‘Glue Two’ are a part of the group who previously locked themselves inside Cardiff Castle to highlight the 50th anniversary of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.”
She’s tireless, I’ll give her that!

“… smashed by a brick hurled by a peace protester …”
Does no-one see any irony in that statement?
mesquito asks: “Are there no jails in Great britain? I’m serious.”
Oh, there are – there are. But they’re reserved for people convicted of defending themselves against yobs and hooligans, and for people convicted of disagreeing with Islam.
I read (from this the other side of the Pond) lots of comments saying how bad this is, what a dolt Lord Ahmed is, what a shame that or the other is…..
But until you all get together and start saying “Enough! We will have no more!”, it won’t be long before there won’t be any comments – or blogs – for the rest of the world to read.

Emily, I had a fellow student tell me America had it coming, and they deserved it, a few months after 11th September 2001. Then the war on against the Taliban, socialist worker party girls with beads in their green hair screaming “No war on Afghanistan!”, to the pleasure of the numerous budding Islamists at the university. Yeah. It was pretty uncomfortable.

We do. But we have a government that needs the votes of these criminals. We have a police force that is told to go soft on them. We have a media that has a conspiracy of silence about reporting them.
So what do you suggest?

Well, I don’t support blanket boycotts of Israel, but boycotting produce grown in illegal settlements I certainly do support. I’m not saying I support the way they’ve gone about this. But maybe Brett or Gene could offer a more constructive approach. (I’m assuming you both, being supporters of the two-state solution, agree with me about buying goods from illegal settlements). How can we go about buying Palestinian goods from the West Bank, as per the world bank suggestions, without inadvertantly supporting the settlements? I have ideas, but I’m curious, especially since Brett is so concerned about the Palestinian economy, what tactic he would you suggest?

He warned about the creation of a Palestinian state but declined to rule it out.
“Any Palestinian state that would be formed under the current conditions would become an Iranian state as we saw happen in Gaza,” Netanyahu said. “[But] we all must work to advance peace while considering reality.”
| 27 January 2009, 11:19 pm |
“That would require actual sacrifice – rather than the posturing involved in picking on Israel.”
Israel is not a giant, like China, but it is sufficiently big and strong to pretend it is while trying to hurt it. Of course, to such people it is irrelevant that, were Israel not strong, it would not exist.
It is also sufficiently small and vulnerable for the boycotters to think they have a chance at hurting it, or worse, the reason being, unlike the Chinese, Israeli like other Jews are actually a small minority, who have ascended above their proper rung in the scheme of things.
The Jewish state is as strong as the allegedly crooked Jewish usurers, financiers, businessmen or whomever the mob decided it would try to tear to pieces for the wrongs allegedly perpetrated.
It is a contagion, and it has broken out again.

Not.

If they can’t participate in the “suffering”, they would have to go back to being a working stiff in a bedsit, shopping at Aldi and signing on. They would not merit a second glance. Hence the histrionics, and the motivation to join the Scunthorpe branch of the Tamil Tigers. Codename Maureen…
It’s easy here. You can vent your vitriolic spleen on a harmless bloody van driver who has no stake in the issue, and no idea why you are throwing house bricks at him while he tries to deliver your cauliflower.
If we had a new International Brigade, we could send all the Maureens to the front lines of all the conflicts in the world. And then we could leave them there…

“First they came for Starbucks, and I didn’t care”
Starbucks, Tescos and Sainsbury’s I can shift in my seat uncomfortably at. If they come for M&S or Waitrose then I’m on the fucking barricades with a kalashnikov and a bunch of molotovs. This is a war to the death against batty old fashion-challenged psycho nutter crones.

It’s only a matter of time, Ben! I have seen Boycott Israeli Goods stickers on the trolleys in my local Waitrose! Meep!! I am scared of the crazy lady with half shaved off hair!!

I remember reading an article by P J O’Rourke from South Africa in the 1980’s. He was interviewing a group of militants in one of the homelands about their opposition to sanctions. The crux of their argument was that if they had money they could get guns and sanctions would hurt that effort. He also spoke to some black business leaders who were also against sanctions as they saw it as damaging their fledgling enterprises whilst giving more power to the ANC elite.
It’s quite amazing to see the supreme douchbaggery of these “leftists” who clearly have no idea of how the world works in reality ( only in their dogmarked marxist textbooks ) and how their actions can have quite the opposite effect to their intent.

If the police decide to charge them then what’s the betting a load of Usual Suspects turn up for the trial and protest that any prosecution is Zionist Tesco inspired.

I’ve seen more goods in a Gaza supermarket visited by Lauren Booth than I can see in that photo.

Ben, ah, yes, having lived almost next door to the smallest Waitrose in the country (Temple Fortune, although the new one opening walking distance away from where I live now in Leigh-on-Sea might be smaller, I reckon), I now live (fairly) near the largest (Temple Sutton). Although frankly south Essex is not the first place one would look for far-leftist freaks.
I always thought Pootergeek had it right here, for those who are able to follow his fine example

Its awful.
I would imagine that all the violent ‘peace’ organisations are painting themselves into a corner with all the ‘peaceful’ Islamist militants.
Hope they don’t start arguing amongst each other about who is ‘right’.
| 28 January 2009, 9:45 am |
Emily – my sympathies; the situation in universities is bad on all fronts. The other day my daughter got hassled just for reading something in Hebrew and my son has a lecturer who can’t even bring himself to say the word Israel – he uses the rather long-winded euphamism ‘modern day palestine’ instead.
You could always consider student exchange to Israel – we’d love to have you!
A thought: Folic Acid, which is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system, is mostly found in green leafy vegetables. Could all this boycotting of Israeli sage, rosemary, parsley etc. in fact be the actual nutritional cause of this Teso-smashing pathology?
| 28 January 2009, 10:24 am |
I’ve just noticed something in the video. The bottle of tomato sauce she sprays on the pavement is Tesco brand. Now, since this isn’t an Israeli product – and hence she has no moral justification for removing it from the shop – did she stop to pay for it?
I’m guessing no. So she should be charged with shoplifting. While she could claim that her actions removing the goods labeled “West Bank” were a political crime, there is no justification for not paying for her fake blood.

Since when is ‘political crime’ a recognised plea of mitigation?
Stealing Israeli produce is the same stealing non-Israeli tomato sauce.
The motive is irrelevant.
Both are theft.
| 28 January 2009, 11:59 am |
Hmmm political crime – you mean like assassinating a head of Stae – is that now a defence?
BTW I just love this -
The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza on Wednesday offered a tongue in cheek response to a Peace Now report that claimed settlement growth had risen 69 percent in 2008.
“Again we thank Peace Now, who are diverting the funds they are receiving from the European Union in order to document the most important Zionist enterprise of our age – the settlement project in Judea and Samaria,” the settlers said, adding, however, that “some of the data is clearly inaccurate.”
Settler leaders also rebuffed claims that they had taken advantage of the operation in Gaza in order to build new roads to outposts in the West Bank.
“All of Israel knows who took advantage of the war in order to demonstrate against IDF soldiers and who sent their boys to the front to sacrifice their lives in defending our country,” they said.
Obviously peace has now broken out and we are back to thumping each other.

I can feel everyone being brainwashed around me during lectures… people snorting with contempt every time Bush or Blair’s name gets mentioned.
There’s always a lot of eye-rolling whenever parliamentary supremacy is mentioned at my college. I have occasionally challenged this by asking exactly how they would go about declaring war. I’m usually answered by shrugged shoulders or a suggestion that we should never go to war AT ALL.
There is also a great deal of leafleting for various earnest talks by the Haldane Society about how to prosecute Israel for war crimes. The fact that many potential lawyers attend these talks worries me greatly.
However, as I’ve commented before, I have found that most of the students really don’t have anything more than very rudimentary knowledge of the area, its history or the politics.

“Since when is ‘political crime’ a recognised plea of mitigation?”
I’m merely pointing out that, by her own terms of reference, there is no mitigation… unless she creates a new on in which it is legitimate to steal items to use as props in political protests.

Judging by the way they are behaving they’ve already had one.

“We get all our information through the media these days and if we’re getting a biased message, we’re going to act in a biased way”
She’s right. She looks pompous and terrified, like a rabbit who’s deliberately been caught in the headlights.
Emily: indignant that they might not have snapped her from her best side, more likely

Thanks JBIG, I just bought Israeli sweet peppers in Waitrose. Also, the Tivall range of vegetarian food is often packaged as own brand in Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

These people are deeply, deeply, stupid.
Many thanks to friends who are posting details of Isreali goods and where I can buy them. But this is tragic. Only Iran, distant, mad, inviolate, sits and grins. Note well and remember.
| 28 January 2009, 8:07 pm |
Larkers you are right. They are deeply stupid. I and others can see the hands of Iran in much of the current problems then why can’t they?
I’m considerably worried about Iran.

Until Israel develops a decent wine industry specialising in chunky reds around the fiver a bottle mark I will be unable to double its annual GDP.

Wardytron – have you tried the extensive range of wines from the Golan Heights winery? There are several ranges, according to your pocket. Yarden is the cheaper one, Gamla a little more expensive. As a red wine drinker myself, I think they’re worth a try. If you’re feeling flush, try Chateau Golan. This is a boutique winery in the South Golan at Eliad. They’re not cheap, but very good. If you’re in the duty free at BG airport, they are more reasonably priced there. LaChaim!
| 28 January 2009, 9:42 pm |
Goodbye Israel
I probably would have supported you 20-30 years ago
But your behaviour since has made you an impossible thorn in the Middle East
| 28 January 2009, 9:48 pm |
I would never buy any Israeli produce
Especially the “West Bank ” Stuff

What if you’re in Tesco in Richmond upon Thames?

If you really want to buy some (absolutely delicious) wine from a country whose bullying, aggressive, militaristic neighbour is doing its utmost to undermine (and which by banning the import of wine from said country at a stroke cut off about two-thirds of its habitual wine exports), I recommend you get yerselves down to “Theatre of Wine” at 75 Trafalgar Road, Greenwich, London. SE10 9TS to pick up some Tbilvino Kvanchkara.
Frankly, some twats posturing outside Tesco does Israel no harm. Russia’s trade embargo does Georgia does one hell a lot of harm. (And I in no way condone or support the people running the Georgian state – but the people in that country really are being hit hard by totally illegitimate sanctions)
So go get some Georgian red wine, if you are the sort of person who chooses to buy (or not buy) things on account of their state of origin. I don’t do boycotts, nor “support buys” either – but evidently some folk around here do.

It is because of bored, self righteous, spiritually vacant people such as this this that “others” think our society is up for grabs!


Isn’t the demented cow arrestable from this evidence?
