The illusion of Israel as a bastion of democracy in the Middle East must be shattered.
So hit them where they live.
Right in the illusions!
Ouch! That can hurt - a knee right in the illusions!
I don't come accross many food or other products made in Israel to personally boycott and a public one is better, as they get to know that someone is intentionally doing so (rather than just not buying that orange or avocado). Every major horror that happens in the region, I often send an email to the local Embassy, but NEVER even receive a reply...so wonder if they are even passing on my emails to Israel of just erasing and ignoring them. I always point out that I am Jewish (if secular), and it is especially important for Jews and Jewish groups to let Israel know (along with all other interested persons no matter their heritage) how we feel. Personally, I'd love to go to Israel, but feel I should not..can not until the occupation is over and the Palistinians get their homeland and equality/peace.
