Another Zionist Actress - quits supporting Oxfam

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Plus the Quenelle is not used solely as an antisemitic gesture, in France it is a viral trend which people post images and videos of themselves doing (no too dissimilar to 'planking'), the majority of the people doing it probably don't understand the 'loose' antisemitic symbolism.

I'm sure it is. It's funny how the poster tries to tarnish anybody who stands against injustice and equates it with anti-semitism.....

[Flashman]

Nice try, it's only Zionists which use that kind of logic. Real Jews differentiate between Zionism and Judaism. To equate the two as one is only a disservice to Judaism which without doubt is a great religion.

Nice save.

The trouble is that anti-semites use the anti-zionist argument to cover their sick little attitudes. So if you say you're anti-zionist, people are going to suspect you're a Jew hater.

Maybe another word is needed.

She's not a zionist actress. I doubt she gives a toss, so long as she gets paid.

The poll in the grauniad #NoScarJo: should Oxfam sever ties with Scarlett Johansson? | Global Development Professionals Network | Guardian Professional closed not far from 50/50 in favour/against.

Can't argue with an aid charity that opposes trade with illegal settlements.

You can, since

a) Whether the settlements are illegal depends on your political standpoint. International law is largely a myth.
b) International aid charities should stay out of political issues and focus on the economic realities and the direct needs of the people on the ground.
c) Given the amount of political posturing on both sides of the debate it's not really possible to determine whether the Palestinian people are against Sodastream or not. Nor whether the existence of the company in those places helps or hinders the people.

The CEO was on the telly this morning saying his Palestinian employees are paid the same as Israeli Jewish employees and Israeli Arab employees; why don't you provide evidence if you don't think that's true?

You don't need to provide evidence if you know that the Israelis are bad.

Liberals frothing at the mouth over Israel is about as convincing as muslims getting upset at the latest Jesus and Mo cartoon.

Meanwhile in Syria...

Good. If these three posters who rarely agree on anything can agree on that, I think we've solved the middle east conflict. We clone Scarlett Johansson and send one example to every heterosexual male in the middle east. Oh wait, we'll send some to the gay guys as well and they can make the tea.

Sorted!

(there is a serious point to this; I wonder if sexual frustration might be a factor in some religious violence)

I'm pretty certain it is. You have a faith that creates a society of a dozen Arab nations, 200 million or so people, where consensual pre-marital sex is virtually unheard of, which is a SERIOUS problem for those millions and millions of horny teenage fellas as:

1) Vast majority of the unmarried birds (who aren't fck-ugly) are under 20 and stone cold sober, and are either too ignorant about male libido to provide some 'humanitarian assistance' to their affection-starved brethren, or if they DO know, are unwilling to defy their Imam's edicts even to satisfy their own newly-awakening urges;


2) When the girls decide to go find a hubby, they favour the older, wealthier ones, thus several fellas chasing one every 20-something lass JUST for marriage;


3) Masturbation is hard (no pun intended) to accomplish, no matter how horny the teenage lad is feeling, as most of them are sleeping 2/3/+ to a room,


4) This in a tropical climate with red meat in abundance.


So, all that energy, and no outlet. All that's already a ticking bomb right there (no pun intended).


Throw in the Imam promising 72 young lovelies waiting for you in Heaven, widespread unemployment/underemployment, and you can see, problems. To paraphrase the song, "Things to make you go boom".

Sodastream are only there so it makes it harder for the settlement to be bulldozed. The Israelis offer lucrative remuneration packages for companies (and individuals) to move into the settlements so it makes it harder for them to be knocked down.

Look what happened when the Palestinians erected Bab Al-Shams ( tent town near Hebron), the Israelis got a court order to remove it saying it was an illegal settlement. But they continue to build huge concrete jungles in the same area.

So the jews have better lawyers??

**** international law. Palestinians are a people continuously having their land stolen, oppressed, killed and degraded. Why should the Palestinians suffer because the Germans committed the hollocaust? Let Germany donate part of it's land to them instead.

They were originally told they were allowed to stay for a short time, but this was overruled by Netanyahu and it was shut down by Israeli police. Numerous similar camps have been started all with the same end result.

Palestinians aren't suffering because Germany committed the holocaust. They're suffering because Britain and France decided that they were a simple people who's land should be stolen. I.e. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Judaism which without doubt is a great religion.

What?!!!! What on earth is a 'great religion'?
