Israel gerät durch die internationale Boykottkampagne zunehmend unter Druck
Die Meldungen über Boykottinitiativen, den Abzug von Investitionen aus oder Sanktionen gegen Israel häufen sich. Im September hat der britische Gewerkschaftsverband TUC auf Antrag der Gewerkschaft der Feuerwehrleute den Boykott aller Produkte aus israelischen Siedlungen beschlossen und die Einstellung der Waffenlieferungen an Israel sowie die Aussetzung des Assoziierungsabkommens der EU mit Israel gefordert. Im selben Monat wurde in Spanien eine in der Westbanksiedlung Ariel gelegene Hochschule von einem akademischen Wettbewerb zur nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung ausgeschlossen. In Brasilien sprach sich die für Außenpolitik und nationale Verteidigung zuständige parlamentarische Kommission gegen die Ratifizierung des Mercosur-Freihandelsabkommens mit Israel aus. In der Schweiz hat anläßlich des WM-Qualifikationsspiels zwischen Israel und der Schweiz gerade eine Kampagne zum Ausschluß Israels aus der FIFA begonnen.

Another tragedy is unfolding. Another One!, I scream irately and angrily to the heavens. How can this be? How unfair and how are we going to, now, survive this, I desperately ask. I know here in New Orleans, where I now live (Crowley, Cajun country originally) we have had our share of hardship and difficulties. Many of us frighten, despaired and overwhelmed what we experienced nearing 5 years ago. Hurricane Katrina's anniversary is in August. And Hurricane Rita gust in without much delay, giving Louisiana no break or rest. It seems barley enough time to catch our breath, even though we sweat it out every hurricane season since. The experience of the "big one" has left many of us edgy, anxious and nervous. It has been a challenge for us all. Now here is once more another challenge. The oil spill in the gulf that threatens our, ecosystem, shoreline and seafood industries. For many of us, our distress are concentrated on our wetlands which have become more defenseless by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I recognize I have. For us to undergo another "big one" our coast is the first line of defense to our survival. Ever since these potential, massive hurricanes, my intense coastal and wetland focus has been like a laser, zeroing on which is most important for Southern Louisiana's continued existence. However, the health and wellbeing for our future lies right now with-- us-- which are our local oil field experts and workers. The men on these oil rigs, the ones that will--and I have confidence--will plug the blowout and stop the damage--the bleeding--they are US. They are family and friends, mutual Louisiana citizens, who are well aware how important their job is, for us as well as for themselves and their family. Much is at stake to our livelihood, our environment and our way of life. more:

In Europa und den USA gehören kritische jüdische Gruppen neben den Migrantencommunities zu den aktivsten Teilen der BDS-Bewegung. Das spiegelt die zunehmende Entfremdung der jüdischen Communities von der israelischen Politik bzw. dem Zionismus wider. Auch einige israelische Organisationen und Persönlichkeiten wie zum Beispiel das Alternative Information Center und der Menschenrechtsaktivist Neve Gordon rufen zum Boykott auf. Das macht es für die israelische Regierung und prozionistische pressure groups sehr schwer, wenn nicht unmöglich, die BDS-Kampagne mit einiger Glaubwürdigkeit als antisemitisch denunzieren zu können.

Why do you think that the privileged people miss the obvious truths? Well, several reasons. For one thing, the more educated you are, the more indoctrinated you are. After all, propaganda is largely directed towards the privileged. For the mass of the population, there is propaganda, but it's mostly to try to get them out of our hair, you know, it is distraction. Get them involved in professional sports, or sex scandals, or anything. Just keep them away from us. That's why the political system in the United States has now degenerated to the point where the only issues that are talked about are what are called "the culture wars."
