13. boycott
Sam M ,   UK   (09.27.11)
The palestinians failed to destroy Israel through war and terror. This boycott is merely a change of strategy. It's war by other means one in which the palestinians aim to strangle Israel economically and isolate her diplomatically, culturally and every which way. Time to recognise that Oslo is dead, face reality and annex all of Judea and Samaria with the exception of large palestinian urban areas which can be self-governing. The palestinians regard Israel's existence as an aberation airbrushing away any connection the Jewish people have to the Land of Israel. The so called peace process is just a fig leaf and whatever they get they will 'still be under occupation'. Time to face reality and stop being delusional. Sever economic ties with the pals and let’s see how far they get on their own.
14. Is that ALL Abbas can come up with?
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (09.27.11)
Wonderful So this is the new 'Government by Pretext' Right from the Alex Salmond School of Politics in the UK - Try to gain 'popularity' by constantly finding pretexts to rubbish your neighbour. (So whos behind this Palestinian Boycott Buffoonery now? Could it be another 'transfer of funds' from Ahmadinejad?) Might work initially but you cant build a State on 'pretexts' or closed relations with your immediate neighbours These are the concrete things that we want to see for East Palestine on the West Bank 1. Negotiate with Israel on immedate easing of crucial bottlenecks for trade in East Palestine on the West Bank 2. Negotiate with Israel on increasing Work Permits 3. Negotiate with Israel on easing all bottlenecks for Tourists to enter Bethlehem this Christmas 4. Build a new Palestine School of Clothing and Fashion 5. Palestine School of Performing Arts 5. Palestine School of Art and Crafts 6. A strategic plan to fully realise agricultural and food manufacturing potential 7. Build a Leisure Park suitable for both Tourists AND locals ETC ETC So Abbas and Co...put your heads to THESE questions not get us sidetracked YET AGAIN back into Flotillas Boycotts and stupid mind games
15. Well been an utter failure to date
Danny   (09.27.11)
Just like their un bid
16. You cannot talk peace if you act war. Be prepared!
(09.27.11)
Palestinians should know that force, terror and racism won't bring them any future. Let them be prepared to reaping what they sow. They are seeding the destruction of many future generations and the improbability of a sustainable society. Those who live by hatred and racism, will be forced to eat their own medicine. It's only a matter of time. And Israel has plenty of it.
17. #14 you're dreaming. Palestinians know only to destroy
(09.27.11)
Not to build.
18. ..don't forget the cell phones..and PCs
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.27.11)
If you're going to do something...do it properly.....
19. Are they also going to Boycott our hospitals and treatment?
Trevor ,   Modiin   (09.27.11)
20. add our hospitals to he list
ilan ,   israel   (09.27.11)
21. Why not limit the the ability of the boycotters to sell...
JBI   (09.27.11)
...their goods in Israel. After all, better than 80% of the "exports" from the disputed territories are sold in Israel. I wonder, who will then suffer more...??
22. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.27.11)
Look guys unless you stop using your cellphones, computers, a heck of a lot of antibiotics. Really I'll make it easy, type into your address bar "really cool facts about Israel" watch the video's. Don't use anything Israel is affiliated with on the video. Good Luck. You and your children might not live as long as the rest of us who will use Israeli products with pleasure. Since you can't really use your computer or cellphones in good conscience anymore, I don't expect I'll be hearing from you, later.
23. Palestinians: You should boycott
Isac   (09.27.11)
all Israeli products. Thank you. That means no cellphone receptions, no Internet connections, no modern banking, no fine building materials, no music exchange of any kind (Israel is leading classical music in the entire region), no academic exchanges, no medical support, etc. I wish you a very NICE DAY!
24. Economic Warfare Works in Two Directions
Steve ,   Raaanana   (09.27.11)
Let them try this brilliant approach--as long as we do the same thing. Steve
25. Tit for Tat
lidia ,   Israel   (09.27.11)
To their boycott, n0 more jobs for palestinian workers or treatment in our hospitals. Thus,more employment for us that feel sick and tired of their threats and constant retaliation.
26. Jihad boycott
Ehai ,   London, England   (09.27.11)
The Arabic word "jihad" is probably derived from the Hebrew verb "yihed" = proseletyze, Judaize; convert someone to Judaism. So c'mon Palestine. Surrender this inanely stupid and ridiculous cultural and economic warfare against Israel and give some genuine praise to GOD........ Sovereign of Eternity.
27. Make sure they boycott Israeli's money and land too.
Mamamia   (09.27.11)
28. ... and electricity, water, money, hospital, tax collection,
boycott this too   (09.27.11)
29. To n° 4, Mr. Shmulke
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (09.27.11)
Where are you on facebook? :-))
30. PLEASE BOYCOTT OUR HOSPITALS.
JUDAH ,   Israel.   (09.27.11)
also our shopping centre,parks and move to the 22 other arab states.
