Change the "dot-com" in www-dot-ericlee-dot-com to "dot-info" (I had to change it to get around Blacklist).

The Canadian union's Ontario branch called for a policy of boycotts, divestment and sanctions against the Palestinian Authority until it recognises the Jewish people's "right to self-determination".

Read it all!

The election victory of Hamas, with its steadfast refusal to recognise Israel, is central to understanding what has happened.

In case anyone missed this point, NATFHE resolved as follows: "Conference notes the victory of HAMAS in the free, democratic and non-violent elections for the Palestinian Authority." So it's pretty clear that the call for a boycott is in direct response to the Palestinian decision to turn away from the peace process, such as it was.

After all, we wouldn't call for a boycott of a country which had just elected a government committed to ending the conflict, territorial compromise, and so on. Boycotts are a weapon of last resort and we use them only against regimes like Hamas -- or South Africa under apartheid.

Lyana, it's good, isn't it?

#6 zorkmidden at 7:26 pm on Jun 07, 2006

Hah! Excellent.

cba, that was great.


Ahem -
I was hook, line and sinker until the last paragraph - major mental scrambling going on, LOL!

Lyana, zorkie--

The bizarre thing is, every point he made was Right.On.

In what upside-down world does an organization that's supposed to care about human rights decide to boycott Israel instead of the Palestinians?!

cba, it's just another time when I feel like I've gone through the looking glass with Alice (similar to discussions with certain individuals who have frequented Bloggie recently). I just sit there and stare - I can't quite conceive of seeing thing in that backward a manner, but there it is, in black and white in front of me.

Brilliant!

Exactly.

Except in this case the satire is common sense and reality is Through the Looking Glass.
