Why a Cultural Boycott of Israel is Necessary
2008-06-06 03:58:00 by Remi Kanazi At what point does rhetoric stop and effective action begin? For Palestinians, decades of dialogue and supposed peace overtures have proved fruitless, only serving to protect the status quo: sixty years of continual dispossession, forty years of occupation, and a systematic repudiation of international and humanitarian law. The situation for Palestinians will not improve without constructive movement forward—which rejects collusion with the Israeli government by exercising boycott, divestment and sanctions (known as BDS). During the 1980’s, BDS of South Africa included a cultural boycott whereby musicians and artists from around the world were prohibited from performing in the apartheid state. In addition to internationally supporting the subjugated black population, this policy was instituted to express that no real dialogue—economic, academic, or cultural—could take place in concert with the atrocities of apartheid. With regard to Israel, the implementation of ...

2008-05-30 14:37:00 Dunkin Donuts ,the American Donuts famous chain has pulled an ad featuring Rachel Ray in the TV because she was wearing an Arab scarf or Keffiyeh after the criticism of some Conservatives in the main stream media. They thought that Ray was wearing a "traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad" Now believe it or not Non Arabs in the United States are angry because they think that it is against freedom , how can a Keffiyeh be a source of danger and a TV commercial is pulled because of it , I mean I would not have noticed what she is wearing except after this. Keith Olbermann called for a boycott to Dunkin Donuts calling the chain the worst person !! I feel so angry despite I am not a Palestinian , but may be because I am an Arab.

Chinese Product Boycott...Your Recalls Revenge
2008-05-20 04:56:00 Are we Americans as dumb as we appear or is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration for perceived errors. Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended. Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

Should Bush boycott the Olympics?
2008-04-08 20:49:00 I plan on boycotting the Olympics, but, then again, I've boycotted every Olympics since 1976 (I don't count the attention I paid to the 1984 games because they were in Los Angeles and, thus, unavoidable). I didn't boycott the Seoul Olypics because of the rust on my Kia or Atlanta because of that modern Nostradamus, Ted Turner. In fact, my Olympic aversion has nothing to do with politics: The Olympics are just deadly boring. All of those "profiles" stuck in between a tiny bit of action; the announcers and their "let's go tos." There's the explosion of events that nobody cares about. I get that people in Bulgaria like handball because they could conduct illicit tournaments in abandoned wherehouses, but synchronized swimming? Somebody tells their little girl to keep practicing their aquatic robot moves so that one day they can be the Olympic laughing stock? The male-female equivalence kind of bugs me. I imagine that both men and women find female weight lifting disgusting. Hones...

Will you do as you are being asked or will you pander to the tyrannical Chinese government? By the way, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland said he'll skip the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing, as his government asked other European Union members to join its protest. I happen to agree with Nancy Pelosi when she says, ""I don't think China should have gotten the Olympic Games to begin with." I for one will be boycotting the event, since I would much rather spend my precious time doing more constructive things, such as reading some excellent blogs written by people who are spending their precious time telling us to boycott the Olympic Games.

Boycott the Olympics? Just because of a little oppression?
2008-04-07 18:17:00 Just what is all this bullshit about boycotting the Beijing Olympics? Just because of what's going on in Tibet? Since when have the majority of nations in the world not been screwing over some other country or their own people at any given point in time? If proper moral behavior were a requirement for Olympic participation, the only nation sending athletes to China's capital this summer would be Norway maybe —€” although the Sami may have something to say about that. America, of course, is probably the least qualified to boycott the Olympics over Tibet. How can we wag our finger at China for liberating Tibet when we ourselves have just liberated Iraq? Hell, our nation is founded on the kind of liberation that's going on in Tibet. We liberated this land from the tyranny of the American Indians, the Spanish, and the Mexicans, and liberated a whole bunch of Africans from tribal tyranny so they could come here and enjoy our freedom with us (and do a little work by way of...
