Outrage over proposal to boycott Jewish-owned shops

Jewish leaders in Rome today expressed outrage over a trades union proposal to "identify and boycott" Jewish-owned shops in the Italian capital amid fears of a resurgence of anti-Semitism linked to Israeli actions in Gaza.

What are they complaining about , these same people scuttled the US Dubai Ports Deal some 3 years ago , I say it is a taste of their own medicine . Well done Rome.

He added: "For 50 years we have been concerned for the Jews because of what they suffered in the Holocaust, but now it is time to be concerned for the Palestinians, who are the Jews of today".

Very brave for saying that. Never a truer word written, in my opinion.

Anti-Semitism? Oh please... That's implying we're hating Jews for no particular reason.
Killing tens of thousands is a legitimate reason for a boycott. Much like if England was occupying the Netherlands and killing hundreds per day, you can bet I will be supporting a boycott on English goods.

Why be concerned for the Palestinians? They aren't our kin.

Well we shouldn't be. In fact this event is horrible for us. Because it's going to cause a half million to a million Palestinians emigrating to Ireland or some region without a substantial immigrant population (maybe Finland? )

Which is what the Jews want. A famous Jewish professor wrote that if Palestinians move abroad, they are likely to intermarry with the host population and their descendants will care less about the Palestinian cause. So even if the current operation is a failure for Israel, it will nevertheless cause thousands of young Palestinian men to chase Western Women and Welfare Cheques in our nations

Correct. They are not our kin; but they are certainly our fellow ethno-nationalists vying with the greatest of effort to garner attention to the world of underhanded and downright ridiculous perceptions which hinder the rightful accession in regards to the correct direction in goals and outcomes.

The Israelis regardless of the situation will come out this with nothing but bad publicity. Something which can only contribute constructively to our plight.

You are right, but Israel costs the EU and Germany quite a few billion Euro because the Israeli economy is subsidized half by Europe and the half by America. Then there is the fallout from the Arab nations who blame the West and then you get Eoropeans being attacked in Egypt and then refugees arriving.

Carrying out this assault will entail EU taxpayers handing over money to clean up Israels carnage when it is over.

This is not a boycott of Israeli-owned shops, but Jewish-owned shops.

Retarded boycott; anti-Semitism is often retarded.

The 2.5-3 billion US$ of US foreign aid is less than 5 percent of Israel's budget and Israel could really manage without it.

Foreign aid is also a way for the EU and the US to buy influence over Israeli foreign policy, and this is why the far-right, the nationalists in Israel are against foreign aid to Israel.

The EU gives money to the Palestinian Authority.

I do not blame the Israeli government for this, I blame the EU and the British establishment and the Zionist groupings in Britain, similar to the pro-Israel lobby in the US, which have probably been here since the days of David Ben Gurion.

They are all part of the same problem - the Establishment.

What is lacking is a confluence between the European far-right and the Israeli far-right and also, secular nationalists in the muslim world.

We should all be co-operating against communism, capitalism and Islamic fundamentalism.

No.

The Palestinians are not ethno-nationalists. They are all Islamic fundamentalists, or sympathisers thereof, right down to their ticks and fleas.

Their whole identity is based upon Islamic fundamentalism, because prior to this identity they did not have a national identity at all. They were merely the Arabs of Palestine, or immigrants from neighbouring regions.

They chose Hamas and they chose to be human shields.

Palestinian social democrats, anarchists, secular nationalists and socialists have been executed by the freely elected Hamas movement. Palestinians voted for this to happen. They voted for terrorism and anti-democracy.
