Think about the Boycott of Israel snd America

Many of the people who write about boycotting Israel are avid readers and subscribers to Indymedia. If you are genuine in your real sentiment, you probably should not be using a computer, using a cell phone or if you get a little sick or maybe if have a life threatening desease you might be a hypocrite and use an Israeli developed drug. You are only selective in the Israeli or American products and services you do not wish to purchase.

The cell phone was developed in Israel by Motorola, which has its largest development center in Israel. Most of the Windows NT operating system was developed by Microsoft-Israel. The Pentium MMX Chip technology was designed in Israel at Intel. Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R&D facilities outside the US in Israel. The technology for AOL Instant Messenger was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis. A new acne treatment developed in Israel, the ClearLight device, produces a high-intensity, ultraviolet-light-free, narrow-band blue light that causes acne bacteria to self-destruct - all without damaging surroundings skin or tissue.
An Israeli company was the first to develop and install a large-scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant, in
southern California's Mojave desert."

If Israel boycotted you, your lives would be less for it as would be the poor down trodden Palestinian Arabs who for the most part have depended for their livelihood for the last 100 years. Arabs emmigrated from all over the Middle East immediately prior and during the British Mandate to avail of jobs which were only available in Palestine because of the Jews. More than 600,000 of them migrated to what is today Modern Israel. In 1850 the total population of Jordan, Israel, Southern Syria and Lebannon combined was 141,000 with about a third being Jewish in an area that was originally nearly 10 times bigger than today's modern Israel. The population of Jerusalem was 64% Jewish and 20% non Arab Christian. These are FACTs Now the Arabs are trying to steal that land from the Jews. Unfortunately it is not the other way round as most of the ANTI ZIONIST (anti jews) propagate.

Yes I will hear in the comments, the usual heckling about being a Zionazi, colonial aggressor, Sharon the War Criminal etc etc. That means all you have is hatred in your brains and hold no moral high ground because all you do on this site is demonize Israel. The truth is well documented, only peoples prejudice and lack of respect for Israel's rights that are cast in International law acknowledged in 1919 by the Arabs in what is known as the Feisal Weizman agreement confirming the Balfour Declaration, which was itself adopted by The league of Nations in 1921. From a religious perspective the redemption of Israel is also acknowledged in the Koran as well as the Bible holy to Christians and Jews.

The propaganda of an Ancient Palestinian nation only materialiized in November 1970, 33 years ago. I would love for one of the Palestinian supporters who refer to the ancient homeland of Palestinians to provide a history book that can refer to the ancient history of the Palestinian people. Please I would like to be enlightened.

Peace can never be achieved until Arabs recognise and agree to what their original leaders agreed to in 1919. Unfortunately this will not happen soon because hatred of Israel and America deflects their own pathetic leadership. The Palestinian cause is just a continuation of Arab aggression through a propaganda war using the Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank as pawns. No one mentions compensating the million jews who were forced to leave Arab countries between 1948-1951. They are only Jews right!
