61. please boycott
Steve ,   Sarasota, USA   (01.07.09)
Muslims, please boycott all Israeli and America companies, especially high-tech. It'll help keep you in poverty and degradation where your theocratic leaders want you to be. Stay in your self-imposed Dark Ages and continue to be used a human shields for people who seek martydom - for you, not for them.
62. To Chaya, Bat Yam
Rachel ,   USA   (01.07.09)
I don't mind a all!!! anything that helps the cause... Am Israel Hai, and God bless our little country and the soldiers that defend it so corageously!
63. nothing to do with moslems
dmn ,   ny   (01.07.09)
if you did not know the ENGLISH are very righteous people they are so righteous that as long as they do'nt get envolved the Brits are the same human barbarians like the Arabs are that use there children and women to hide by the Brits are the same ANTI_SEMITIS that they all ways were
64. us tax laws
lori ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.09)
American companies should be aware of these boycotts. There are tax penalties for doing business with companies boycotting israel.
65. Boycott ? No , a reward for the bus attacks
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.07.09)
Great people in the UK , you murder them and you are rewarded
66. British Economy Up Shit Street
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.07.09)
The British are in a precarious position,sure there are some sanctimonious people there who love to boycott Jews but they are unable to do so now because their economy is shot to hell,despite what Gordon Brown says...He looks like a very worried man.
67. Buy from
(01.08.09)
China and India then. They are more accomodating and much less hypocritical.
68. #9
(01.08.09)
Normal humans find reasons, only muslims look for excuses. so, please don't equate normal humans with your likes.
69. Buy Blue and White
Mark Leaman ,   Maale Adumim   (01.08.09)
Whats new, if they really want to boycott Israel then they better turn off their computers as most technololy is either Israeli or Jewish. Don't swollow any pills as most porbably a Jew discoverd them. Don't shop at Marks and Spencers, Tescos and alike. The list goes on and on. We should boycott the UK only but Blue and White
70. My day tomorrow
ScoobySchu ,   Kansas City, MO   (01.08.09)
After I wake up in the morning and put on my Estee Lauder and Revlon, I'm planning to head over to Starbucks for a cup of coffee. Once I finish that, I'll be headed to McDonalds for an ice cold Coca-Cola. When I leave there, I'll head to the drug store and pick up some Nestle chocolate, Kimberly and Johnson and Johnson products. I'll call Delta-Galilee on my Nokia phone before I open an email account with AOL on my IBM compter with Intel chips. While on the computer, I'll buy some Disney products and check out Marks and Spencer and Danone. Yep -- it looks like a busy day for me. Its a good thing my business trip was cancelled :)
71. Scoobyshu .. Israel is now in Permanent Demise.
R Hitchings ,   Adam smith Court   (01.08.09)
I(hope there money was safe with Bernie Madoff.. But .. I will sstike up a new found business relationship witth this company... Bless them
72. Boycott Boomerang
Mervyn ,   San Diego   (01.08.09)
Boycotts can work bothways. Supporters of Israel boycott the boycotters.
73. No. 13 holocaust denier
(01.08.09)
"But were are the victims of the holocaust!.... We're special .... we were given this land by our god." ..."The world is not buying these lies anymore. " To say the Jews were the victims of the holocaust is a lie, is a crime in many countries. I am sure your IP can be retrieved to see where you live in order to prosecute you idiot.
74. #9, it's only moslims. Many Europeans stand with Israel.
robert renders ,   belgium   (01.08.09)
I can tell, I live here and I read the forums and talk to people at work and in bars, speak with friends, etc... Myself and lot's of friends don't judge unconditionally against Israel, because this time the responsabililty of the mess lays with Hamas. Only the moslims in our countries shout all the time against jews, but we don't.
75. How ironic and STUPID!!
Talula ,   Israel   (01.08.09)
If they wanted a full boycott of Israeli consumers, then they need to stop using their computers, cell phones, remote controls, medicines and other countless items - ALL DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED IN ISRAEL. Microsoft - DEVELOPED IN ISRAEL! These people are too thick to understand or acknowledge where most of the best inventions were developed. They can’t fully boycott Israel - if they did – their simple day to day lives would be paralyzed. What they want to do is get a name for themselves as Jew haters – dirty our name all over the world - while using developed in Israel software to do it. LOSERS!!!! Don't be miserable Meiron, you can buy every single colour of pashmina right here in Israel.
76. an eye for an eye
Petero ,   Toronto Canada   (01.08.09)
All Jewish owned businesses should cease selling goods to Palestinians. All Jewish doctors and dentists should cease treating Palestinians. All Jewish professionals should stop servicing Palestinians. Even being outnumbered, I think this will hurt them more than us.
77. Having created the mess Imperial England is indignant?
David Turner ,   Richmond, USA   (01.08.09)
Enough with England, already. The imperial state is directly responsible for the chronic instability between Israel and the Palestinians, as they are for the same situation between India and the Pakistanis. England bled her colonies dry and, having stolen all that was economically worthwhile, abandoned the impoverished remnants to fight over the remaining scraps. It is England, not Israel, that is the criminal state. As Germany was obligated to pay compensation for perpetrating the Holocaust, so should England now be similarly obligated. Simplistic self-righteous slogans and actions in support of the downtrodden they are responsible for having created may relieve conscience, it does not provide a scintilla of comfort for your victims.
78. UK known for centuries for hating Jews
Adam ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.08.09)
So what's the surprise? Anybody who finds their constant excuses for stabbing Jews in the back in "Legitimate" ways should boycott UK goods, services etc etc, & Isreali companies should stop sales & shipments to UK. Start with medicines. I know a small private school for alternative medicine here that got the backing for their diplomas cut off by the UK parent school, leaving them without professional certification. Let the sleazy Brits rot in their own soup.
79. Reality Please
Jamie ,   Edinburgh, UK   (01.08.09)
A scarf shop in London refuses to sell some guy a scarf. This is one of the top three articles in the money section? Let me say this again, some guy can't buy a scarf and this is more important than the CREDIT CRUNCH. Whats even more amazing is the article below, I have replaced all UK references to the “appropriate” Jewish. "Jews please rot in hell. Stop using anything and everything was developed by the British. Medicine, high-tech, communications devices and etc. Everytime the UK stand up to protect Israel, you low lifes boycott us. Good Luck" See how inappropriate that is (I'm suprised the moderators let it through). Get a grip; someone does something that someone else doesn't agree with deal with it like a mature adult.
80. UK Boycott - Pashmna
Sharon ,   London England   (01.08.09)
If anyone has exact details of the company involved please pass it on so we can get as many people as possible to boycott them. They need us more than we need them!!!
81. NO 40 YOU COMPLETE IDIOT
SILVANA ,   GLASGOW   (01.08.09)
I as a Scot object and I mean object to you stupidity. When are all you Israeli's going to realise that MANY UK citizens are supporting Israel. That some stupid shop that sells scarfs is boycotting Israelis does not mean that the entire UK has to be subjected to your insults. Pashmina's are Asian scarves and that says it all. Get an education before you start throwing insults. I for one and like many others recognise what Israel has contributed in Science, Literature, IT etc to the world as opposed to the terrorism of the radical muslims.
82. Imperial England???????
Silvana ,   Glasgow   (01.08.09)
Glad you stated "England" and not Scotland but I have to admit at the right old age of 58, I have never heard the south called "Imperial England". What it should be called is Englistan or Englabad cause it sure as hell aint England any more!!!!!!!!
83. Boycott and the future...
Englander. ,   UK   (01.08.09)
The boycott isn't really that important. What you controlling, dictorial jews should understand is that you are occupying another country's land and trying to eliminate Palestinians by blocking food and essential supplies to them. Other countries, especially those in the middle east, will not always sit back and let you do this. When they stike you will be afraid. Very afraid for your lives and Israel's existence.
84. 80 is right people!
ilan ,   israel and proud!   (01.08.09)
fact is fact, there are just waaay more muslims out there than there are jews. a lot in europe. they have a bigger voice, thats all! Sure they speard the globe like a virus, spreading their stupidity around. Jews are cheap, and all germans are nazis. i can say whatever i want, its one of the freedoms i enjoy. but lets just stick to facts okay? people are stupid, and they will believe any bull$#!t thats fed to them!
85. Pashmna is a terrorist supporter
John Phee ,   Sydney AUSTRALIA   (01.08.09)
I have tried to contact Pashmna to voice my disagreement about the support they give Hamas. My correspondence was very polite & political correct. They not only will not reply they will not even acknowedge correspondence. But a friend of mine sent them congratulatory e-mails about their boycott, after mine & they were warmly replied too. That says something about the "integrity" of the company & its intent. Boycott them.
86. Ynet - please give us company name
La Cumparsita ,   London UK   (01.08.09)
like #80 I would like to know full name of this company so we can take action against them. Please Tani Goldstein disclose the correct & full name.
87. Englander- ban the aussie cricket team too
jeremy ,   Melbourne, Australia   (01.08.09)
The British Monarchy is guilty of war crimes beyond belief. The Colonial power that killed millions of aboriginal inhabitants who had occupied the land down under for 40,000 years. Why don't you ban the Aussies from playing cricket in England? You know why its because England will have to own up tp Centuries of Occupation one a worldly scale. Romanesque you can say. When ever White European Christian Man sailed he brought death and disease to these new lands. Butchering inhabitants and stealing their wealth. From Asia to The Americas, Africa and Australia. So take your Anti-Jew rant some place else because your not welcome here. And If Israel does as you say take some damage, i can assure you that i really hope The Jewish State has a few nukes pointed and ready to fire at Europe for old times sake.
88. This boycott is just as stupid as this one
Tzippy ,   Israel   (01.08.09)
Why does anyone want to buy from a company that sells scarves which are forced headcoverings for Muslim women-who have no say about it. ALL who care about women's rights should boycott this company.
90. Lets extend the lsit
Simon ,   UK   (01.08.09)
Lets extend this list of companies to boycott. Reason: as the list grows the anti-Israel Brigade will have considerably less places to shop! Lets see how principled these people are! Also - I wonder if Pashmina's use Intel chips inside their website servers? Just a thought.
