Boycott Disney!

Disney!  Famous for theme parks, films, cartoons, merchandising and anti-Semitism.  Yes anti-Semitism.  From Walt Disney's outright hatred of Jews to their winking at the Hamas character Farfour the Mouse to now this:

The Victims of Arab Terror International organization (VAT) has launched a “Fight Back” campaign against Disney's divestiture of Israeli products.

The campaign comes in response to an announcement last month by Abigail Disney, daughter of Disney co-founder Roy Disney, saying that she was renouncing her share in profits from Israel's Ahava cosmetics firm and would instead support those working against Israel.

In response, VAT founder Shifra Hoffman called on the public Monday in a statement to boycott Disney parks, productions and products.

Disney said she is pulling out from Ahava because its products are manufactured at Mitzpe Shalem, located in southern Judea, along the Dead Sea. The Disney family's Shamrock Holdings company owns about 18.5 percent of the shares in Ahava.

Abigail Disney issued a statement saying, “I cannot in good conscience profit from what is technically the 'plunder' or 'pillage' of occupied natural resources and the company's situating its factory in an Israeli settlement in the Occupied West Bank.” She added that she would donate her shares to “organizations working to end this illegal exploitation.”

Hoffman also announced that on Wednesday her organization will be distributing school supplies to needy children of terror victims in advance of the start of the Israeli school year, which begins next week.

Poor Abigail Disney.  She gets money from Jews.  Those evil, horrible people who persecute the innocent, loving Arabs.  So she will give her money to Hamas.  A group that is so dedicated to peace that they announce their aims to achieve said peace openly.

Proper Disney sentiments in a nutshell.

I speak with my pocketbook in this matter.  I won't go to Disney movies, buy their merchandise, go to their over priced theme parks.  But I will donate to Victims of Arab Terror (VAT).

Learn the facts!

Boycott Disney!

A Most Sorrowful Boycott

I love Sabra hummus. Especially the roasted pine nut variety.  So a call to boycott Sabra, an Israeli company, is very disheartening and sorrowful to me.

An Israeli company that co-owns Sabra, the number-one selling hummus brand in the United States, has removed support for the IDF from its English-language website after a video circulating the internet criticized the company's support of Israel's "human rights abuses," according to a press release issued Thursday by the Philadelphia branch of the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Strauss Group, which recently highlighted its "adoption" of the Golani Reconnaissance platoon and other Israeli soldiers on its website, has taken down its support for the IDF, according to the press release.

The Year Of The Buycott

That is correct.  Buycott.  It started in April with the call to boycott Israeli wines for Passover.  A boycott that not only fell flat, but backfired upon the organizers as seen by the pictures here (hat tip to Israel Matzav).  For every time that a call to boycott Israel came alive in Canada, the community was notified, and they came out to buy Israeli products.

It has spread from Canada to the US when there was a boycott of Ahava products called from the idiots whores of Code Pink.  That has failed.

On World Refugee Day Pity The Idiot, Murdering Arab Day, there was a call to boycott Israeli Products at Trader Joe's.  According to the company, they saw their greatest one-day sales profits on that day.

Yes. The tactic of boycotting Israeli Products is working well in Canad and the United States.

Another anti-Zionist attempted boycott in Canada has backfired, with Israeli products enjoying sales rates much higher than usual.



Anti-Israel groups had threatened MEC – Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op - with a boycott because of its inclusion of Israeli products in its inventory. But barely anyone showed up for the boycott, and instead, large crowds of Israel supporters came to buy Israeli products.

The Canada Jewish Tribune reports that several MEC stores across Canada experienced unusually high sales for its Israeli products on Sunday of last week. Shelves with Israeli-made products – numerous styles of seamless underwear and hydration systems products – had to be re-stocked a couple of times each day.

What had been planned as giant demonstrations against Israel in Toronto and Vancouver resulted in tiny-to-small groups of protestors who were dwarfed by crowds of Zionists purchasing Israeli items. B’nai Brith and the Canada-Israel Committee joined forces to organize a “buy-cott” in response to the boycott.

Salomon Rayek of B’nai Brith Canada in Vancouver reported total success, saying that only three anti-Israel demonstrators showed up at the MEC store in Calgary on Saturday, while the next day, “a large number of Jews and Israel’s supporters showed up at the stores and spent a good chunk of money buying Israeli products... I understand that in Toronto about 20 protesters showed up to protest, and on the next day there was a very large Jewish and pro-Israel presence [coming] to buy Israeli goods."

Shades of April 2009

The story appears to be a repeat of what occurred in April of this year at a Toronto liquor store.

After a Jewish non-Zionist group tried to organize an anti-Israel protest in front of the store, asking Passover celebrants to mark their holiday without Israeli-made wines, hundreds of pro-Israeli consumers took the opportunity to hold a pro-Israel festival and bought up the store’s entire stock of Israeli wine.

Brands such as Carmel, Barkan, Golan Heights, Gush Etzion (Efrat), Binyamina, Baron, Segal Dalton and others were sold out within a matter of hours.

What started as a way to counter the anti-Semantic idea of boycotting Israeli wines, is turning into a movement to counter the hate.

BUYCOTT ISRAEL!

It is time to take action!  Time to put your money where your mouth is.  To find out how, click here.  Do it for your conscience.  Do it to stick it to Code Pink.  But most importantly:  Do it because it is the right thing to do!

Buy Israel!

Boycott Fever!

For many years there has been a campaign by the anti-Semitic left to institute a boycott in the academic world against the facility members of Israeli Universities.
They scream APARTHEID as if by using the word over and over it will prove to be true (Israeli is the only nation in the Middle East that grants full, equal citizenship and rights to its minority populations). Yet the call for a boycott grows stronger each day.

Now the Norwegians will be the first Western nation to boycott Israeli academics:

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the second largest in the Scandinavian country, is expected to decide next Thursday whether or not to declare an academic boycott against Israel.

The university's board will meet on November 12 to decide on the matter.

In 2007 the British Association of University Teachers considered boycotting Bar-Ilan and Haifa universities.

The decision to ban the two universities, which was eventually reversed, was premised on the claim that Haifa University limits academic freedom when it comes to research that criticizes Israeli policies, while Bar-Ilan was slammed for operating an affiliated college in the West Bank settlement of Ariel.

Merit Ernstad, who chairs the board of directors, told Ynet that despite her opposition to the move, she would not work to cancel the meeting, adding that those who called for the boycott could not be defined as pro-Palestinian or left-wing.

We can define it as anti-Semitism though.

We will now see a rush of organizations to join in the boycott. The neo-Nazis from Britian, and the US will do so gleefully!

What Norway is doing does not surprise me. They welcomed Hitler with open arms on 9 April 1940. Their leader, Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling was not only a supporter of Hitler, but modeled his government after Germany's.

While Quisling's name is synonymous with traitor in English. I guess it is acceptable in Norwegian. For now he and his policies are acceptable to the Norwegian people.

Pretty soon the Norwegians will start to show the true nature of their boycott and recreate scenes like this one:

What a unique way to teach history. Just repeat it!

Canada does it again!!

For the upteenth time the nation of Canada has turned out for its support of Israel.

Directly from Carl in Jerusalem on his blog Israel Matzav.

Remember the old joke about how for an Irish wedding you double the liquor and for a Jewish wedding you halve it. Don't believe it. I got the email and pictures below from a reader in Toronto who asks to remain anonymous. This is truly a beautiful story:

Hi Carl,

There was a boycott of Israeli wine at the largest Ontario LCBO (Ontario's liquor distributor) by a group called Not In Our Name (see info at http://www.nion.ca/) and another Palestinian organization (I'm not sure specifically which one). In a counter move, Toronto's Jewish community mobilized and showed up in the hundreds to buy all the Israeli wine at this LCBO. I heard from someone outside that they sold over 500 cases in a matter of a half hour. By the time I got there, about 30 minutes into the counter protest, there was no more Israeli wine available, and the boycotters had left in defeat. Here are some pictures if you are interested for your blog. If you are interested, please refrain from using my name. Thanks and I love the blog.

You can view the pictures here.

Carl actually received quite a few confirmations on this story. Each one repeating the same thing.

Each and every Canadian has yet another thing to be proud of. This time the good guys were able to out number and out maneuver the opposition.

O Canada

Well done our Northern Friends. Well done!

So you are boycotting Israel...

...now what? What is the boycott really going to do to your lifestyle. Let us see.

Get the secret tips you won't find anywhere else!
Guaranteed to end the occupation now!

Will it really end the "occupation"?
Will it really end the existence of Israel?
Is it even legal to do? (In the US and Great Britain it isn't. Remember that college presidents.)

Will it make you feel good? Maybe. But without your cellphone, and computer how would you know.

But do it anyway, it will give you brownie points with your Muslim friends. They might even lower the jizya you will have to pay when they rule your lands. Won't that be nice?

The UCU Boycott Backfires!

For the past 3 years the University and College Union of Great Britain has tried to impose upon their members a boycott of all Israeli academic professionals. They claim that this will help bring attention to their beleaguered colleagues in the West Bank and Gaza. Colleagues that the Israelis are keeping from discovering new theories and inventions that the Israelis are preventing them from discovering. Or so they say.

But the majority of the membership is against such a move. As is the majority of American Universities who have stated if such a boycott would result in a boycott of British academics by American Universities.

In the face of US opposition and British Law, the UCU stepped down. But not quite. They still want a boycott of Israeli academics. They just can't do it legally.

To counter this, the rank and file just go along with their every day lives.

A new academic initiative entitled “Making Connections” will bring together scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel with their counterparts from top-level research institutions in the UK, including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London (ICL) and University College London (UCL).

The project’s launch comes amid continuing attempts to impose in England an academic boycott on Israeli institutions. The UK University and College Union has just announced that it is ending its academic boycott of Israel.

Weizmann Institute President Prof. Daniel Zajfman said, “Scientific ideas and discoveries benefit all humankind. Thus it seems only natural that scientists worldwide should focus their efforts collectively in broadening the boundaries of human knowledge." He further stated his vision that the program will develop into a prestigious, bi-national project, akin to existing programs that Israel has developed with the U.S. and Germany.

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, is a leading multidisciplinary research institution. Home to 2,600 scientists, students, technicians and supporting staff, the institute research projects include the search for new ways of fighting disease and hunger, examining leading questions in mathematics and computer science, probing the physics of matter and the universe, creating novel materials and developing new strategies for protecting the environment.

Full Story

I find it strange that the Saudis do not fund scientific research on any level. And why is it that with all their money the Arabs of the world do not produce the best scientists, doctors or even have the best medical care in the area. It is the small country of Israel, with limited funds and great talent that invests in the future of science.

The UCU would like all their colleagues to study with Saudi Scientist. Not to bring up the Saudi level of scientific endeavour, but to pay off the Saudi government for all the money that they have invested in British Universities and Colleges building Islamic Study Centers.

And British scientists just might start to believe the JUNK SCIENCE that prevails the whole Arab world.

Boycott: Swift Products

Please cross post this to your own sites.

First it was Labor Day and Tyson Foods, now it is Swift and more Stealth Jihad. Again and again Muslims are demanding and receiving special privileges not given to any other minority group. This time is a shorter work day so they can celebrate Ramadan.

A compromise reached to accommodate prayer for about 500 Somalian meatpacking plant workers in Grand Island led to a counter protest of even more workers at the JBS Swift & Co. plant Wednesday.

Workers including Caucasians, Hispanics, Vietnamese, and African-Americans walked out after clocking in on the B shift shortly after 3 p.m.

The objection -- a change in the break schedule that leaves B shift workers shorted of hours Monday through Friday and forces them to work Saturday to earn at least 40 hours of pay.

"The Somalians say they can only work three hours after sunset, so we're supposed to work 7.3 hours a day Monday through Friday," said Naomi Jakubowski. "We're supposed to come in and make up the time on Saturday or be shorted at just 36 hours."

"I don't want to sacrifice my Saturdays with my kids -- and I can't raise 'em on 36 hours of pay," she said. "I've got rent, food and diapers to buy."

He said the half-hour evening supper break on B shift will begin at 7:45 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. starting Wednesday and continue until the end of Ramadan on Oct. 1. The supper break will be taken en masse, he said.

The change was reached Tuesday night after negotiations between two local Swift officials, five designated Muslim leaders and three representatives of the UFCW, which represents 2,500 Swift workers, 500 of whom are Muslim.

"This will give them time to pray and satisfy their faith," Hoppes said.

But the B shift workers counterprotesting Wednesday said besides a change in the dinner break schedule, the standard 15-minute break during the 6 o'clock hour of B shift was broken into three 5-minute-long breaks to accommodate the Somalian prayer time.

Bernadino Orellana said the Hispanic workers have staffed the Swift plant for 20 to 30 years. The Somalian workers have come in the last year and changed everything -- Swift management has given in to the minority, she said.

"Nobody should have special privileges," shouted B shift protester Tina Ramirez. "Treat everybody fairly."

Counterprotesters raised objections Wednesday to a pay raise they say the Somalians were given and were bragging about Tuesday and Wednesday.

"Go back to work … get a representative of your culture to come to a meeting at 2 p.m. (Thursday)," she said as the crowd booed.

About a half hour later, Plant Manager Dennis Sydow, Operations Manager Mike Helzer and a plant owner from corporate headquarters in Greeley, Colo., stepped out to address the crowd.

More booing was heard and no workers made an effort to return to the line.

Reports were that more protesting was occurring inside on the kill and slaughter lines, but calls to the corporate office were not returned.

The counterprotesters finally broke up and marched from the Swift parking lot to Grand Island City Hall at about 6 p.m. The Muslim protesters had also staged a demonstration at Grand Island City Hall both Monday and Tuesday.

Hoppes said the compromise meeting on Tuesday came about after 500 Muslim workers walked off the job Monday in protest of not receiving prayer time during the 30-day holy period of Ramadan during the work shift.

Those workers are of Somalian and Sudanese background, he said. A similar protest occurred again Tuesday, with about 50 Muslim protesters.

The primary concern was for the evening prayer time, which signifies the end of a dawn-to-dusk fast.

Hoppes said other break times during the shift were adequate to address additional prayer times, but he said nothing of the 15-minute break being divided into three smaller break times.

Swift supervisors were to apologize to Muslim workers who were accused of taking too long on those breaks, which some had used for prayer, Hoppes said. An accounting of the break time taken was conducted and Hoppes said the company and union found no violations.

Hoppes said Muslim workers who did not show up for work, walked out of work, or did not notify supervisors of not coming to work will have a disciplinary letter placed in their personnel file.

"They will not be fired, but if it happens again they could be terminated," Hoppes said Wednesday.

The disciplinary letter was viewed by those protesting Wednesday as too light of a punishment.

"If we did that, we'd be fired," said Ramirez.

Hoppes said the union is continuing to investigate allegations that some praying workers were kicked by a supervisor and that a male supervisor followed a female worker into a bathroom as she attempted to pray. He said witnesses to those events have not surfaced and Swift is denying either incident happened.

Ramirez said Wednesday that the Somalians come late, leave early and take frequent breaks and "drop all the time" in prayer right in front of people, so people are literally tripping over their bodies.

"They don't do the work and we have to work double," she said. "It's not fair."

Hoppes had heard the rumors of a counterprotest early Wednesday, but hoped it wouldn't happen.

"I don't think there will be any problems, but there's always some people who aren't completely satisfied … and there may be a glitch or two," Hoppes said. "Really, the only change is the supper break going from 8 p.m. to 7:45 p.m."

B shift workers said the plant has been hampered by the protests this week. Normally, about 400 head of cattle are processed every hour, but that was down to about 220 to 260 an hour this week.

"Everyone has rights. Be equal. Be fair," a protester sign stated in the Swift parking lot Wednesday night.

"We all have religion," Ramirez said.

We all have religion. And we all have a right to worship our religion. But we don't have a right to force that religion on another person, or make a company comply to your religious demands.

Since JB Swift and Company wants to give into these demands, it is our responsiblity to tell them that we are not pleased with it and will not buy their products if they don't reverse themselves on this. It is our money and we can spend it as we want to.

Boycott Tyson Foods

Hat tip to TexasFred and Maggie's Notebook

Tyson Foods, a large corporation, has decided to break Federal Law and not celebrate Labor Day. At the Shelbyville, Tennessee plant they will get Eid al-Fitr off instead. The next thing you know they will do will be to force their employees to work on Christmas.

Workers at Tyson Foods' poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day, but will instead take the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr in the fall.

A recent press release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) stated that a new contract at the Shelbyville facility "implements a new holiday to accommodate the ... Muslim workers at the plant."

The RWDSU stated that "the five-year contract creates an additional paid holiday, Iidal Fitil, a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan."

You know that if there were Jews working at this plant they would not be doing the same thing for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Eid al-Fitr falls on Oct. 1 this year.

Tyson's Director of Media Relations, Gary Mickelson, stated that while the new contract does not provide an additional holiday, as the union claimed, "the new contract includes eight paid holidays, which is the same number provided in the old contract."

"However, the union leadership did request and receive Eid al-Fitr (which is apparently spelled various ways including Id al-Fitr and Eid ul-Fitr) as a paid holiday in place of Labor Day," Mickelson confirmed in an e-mail to the T-G.

"Since all Team Members will still have eight paid holidays, the change will not affect production," Mickelson said.

Eid al-Fitr means "Festival of the Breaking of the Fast" in Arabic, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, and marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

That doesn't excuse them from breaking Federal Law. Labor Day is a Federal Holiday mandated by Federal Law.

We as consumers can do many things. Firstly contact Tyson and tell them you are unhappy with this decision of theirs. Their address is:

Consumer Relations CP631

2210 West Oaklawn Drive

Springdale, AR 72764-6999

Tell them that you plan on boycotting their foods and will join in with this National boycott of their products. And then do not buy Tyson products, go to a restaurant that serves Tyson products, etc...

Companies have to know that they don't have the power, we do. It is our money.
