The Case for Boycotting Israel: Boycott Now!

Counterpunch Weekend Edition
August 5 / 6, 2006

By VIRGINIA TILLEY

Johannesburg, South Africa.

It is finally time. After years of internal arguments, confusion, and dithering, the time has come for a full-fledged international boycott of Israel. Good cause for a boycott has, of course, been in place for decades, as a raft of initiatives already attests. But Israel's war crimes are now so shocking, its extremism so clear, the suffering so great, the UN so helpless, and the international community's need to contain Israel's behavior so urgent and compelling, that the time for global action has matured. A coordinated movement of divestment, sanctions, and boycotts against Israel must convene to contain not only Israel's aggressive acts and crimes against humanitarian law but also, as in South Africa, its founding racist logics that inspired and still drive the entire Palestinian problem.

All this meshugah talk of Lordpatch's 'Boycotting Israel', has made me hungry for a toasted bagel with 'Lox and Cream Cheese'. - Sun, 6 Aug 2006 2:48pm
