Book Banning If Printed in Israel - Disproportionate Force

Boycott of Israeli Goods

Posted by CllrJMcColl at 10:58 pm, May 23rd 2011.

...I cannot allow allegations of facism or bigotry from West Dunbartonshire Council to go unanswered.  Here are the facts. In January 2009, West Dunbartonshire Council unanamously agreed the following motion:

This Council deplores the loss of life in Palestine which now numbers well over 1,000. This Council also recognises the disproportionate force used by the IDF in Palestine and agrees to boycott all Israeli goods as a consequence.  Officers should immediately cease the purchase of any goods we currently source, which were made or grown in Israel.  Officers should also ensure we procure no new goods or produce from Israel until this boycott is formally lifted by WDC.

This does not mean that we have banned books by Israili authors or books about Israel. The effect of this motion is to ban the purchase of books that have been physically printed in Israel.

It is important to note that our Libraries Manager has confirmed that this boycott of Israeli good has had NO EFFECT on West Dunbartonshire's Libraries Service. We have not had to amend our purchasing in any way as a result of this Council decision.

So, books not printed in Israel can be purchased.

Does that include Bibles?  After all, they were not only printed but written in Israel.

See here and here for further treatments by friends.

Don't you think that's quite disproportionate force used by those Scotsmen?

When "God Is Great" Means 'Let's Get the Hell Outta Here'

Police evacuated several Jewish visitors to the temple mount in Jerusalem on Tuesday afternoon after a group of Muslims moved towards them, calling out "God is great."

The police separated the two groups and arrested two Arab men suspected of inciting violence.

The Jewish visitors left the site unharmed.

Don't you just love Islamic coexistence activities.

A Mosque's Sanctity

Jerusalem Waqf officials claim that Jews shouldn't go into the Temple Mount to pray as that violates its Islamic sanctity.

Read this from Iraq:

A suicide bomber struck a Shiite mosque in the capital during prayers Monday, killing at least six worshippers and wounding 32, police said.

The attacker tried to enter the mosque about 12:30 p.m. but blew himself up at the entrance after guards tried to search him, police said, giving the casualty toll.

Ah, so Jewish prayer is not permitted but it seems suicide bombers think they are allowed in.
