A rational and just boycott.

The media has consistently lied to us, conned us, sold us wars, hatred, racism, bigotry, violence and the bailout or corporate criminals while demonizing the weak and the powerless.

Watch TV? See the ads? Don't buy ANYTHING advertised on TV.

Buy a small independent brand. Buy from people who do not support the war machine, the propaganda machine, the hate machine and the criminal political class.

Shop for peace, not for war.

Let companies know that you will not buy products from people who support the media and the war.

They sold us these wars and wrecked our economy, why not make them pay for it?

If you really NEEDED the product, they wouldn't have to run an ad on TV to convince you that you do.

The only think these dirtbags respect more than war is money. Take it away from them and give it to smaller, greener, and less war oriented businesses.

Boycott the Democrats and the Republicans - both are for war and both are for killing innocent unarmed civilians with your tax dollars when our country is broke and in need of being fixed.

THAT MEANS FAST FOOD TOO! They are war contractors/profiteers too.

Anyone see "Ben Hur" last night?

When he and Massala end their friendship, Ben Hur has some choice words to say about the Romans. Those words are applicable to the Israelis today.

When will some Palestinian filmmaker remake that scene and use those words to tell their story?

"Ben Hur", like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" could not be made in today's Hollywood because their messages would be considered "anti-semitic" today because as far as they are concerned, if you are opposed to war and oppression, you hate the Jews.

My dear JonathanInTelAviv,

Palestinians are the Jews you read about in the Bible.

They are the ones who stayed on the land.

They converted.

I despise Nazis, no matter what race, ethnicity or religion they hide behind.

They seem to be a bit stronger and nastier today than in the past.

And in your case, crazier.

I guess they dropped the shame.

My dear Zenwick

"I am only here to respond to those who excuse anything and everything the Palestinians might do, and condemn anything and everything Israelis do, because of their belief that Zionists are Nazis, period. I personally feel that such a viewpoint can only stem from basic anti-semitism."

We don't hate the people, we hate the deed of war.

Stop bombing innocent civilians and stop acting and speaking like Nazis and your "basic anti-semitism" will fade away to levels extant before this current war crime.

Do you still hate the Germans for the holocaust?

People are easily conned and tricked into doing horrible things and think that they are doing the good, right and just thing when they are just being monsters so hating the stupid domesticated apes that do this is not really reasonable or fair. Hate the deed, not the stupid man ape.

This is why I don't believe in evolution. We haven't earned or evolved any at all except in the technological advances in making killing and maiming each other so much more efficient and easy to do and America and Israel are at the forefront of that contribution to humanity.

It isn't anti-semitism. It is anti-warism. Why do you insist on defending war and pretending that it is your race, culture and religion and not bombs, bullets and missiles. Why do you confuse these two separate things? Why do you insist that they are one and the same?.

Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Seems pretty clear to me.

How can these people who commit these war crimes be considered "Jews?"

They certainly do not meet the definition of "Jew" that was around when I was growing up. Back then we caled the Nazis, Fascists and war criminals.

How dare anyone call these killers "Jews?"

Same thing with "Christians" and Iraq.

Peace on Earth, Good Will towards Man.

My dear Renegade Iconoclast,

"Americans celebrate innocent deaths, and looking for any means to justify that premise, venturing into the absurd."

WE call that celebration a campaign. The dancing in the streets is voting for Democrat or Republican war-mongers. There will be millions of Americans celebrating war, murder and death of Afghanis, Iraqis, and Palestinians on January 20 in Washington DC. Come on down and freeze to show your love and support for war.

My dear The Satanic Jews of Hollywood,

Are you working for Lyndon LaRouche?

Methinks that perhaps you are more than a little TOO Zionist to actually be one. I think you are a neo-nazi parodying Zionism for comic and racist effect.

Are you Lyndon Larouche?

If not, contact him. He will pay you big bucks to continue doing what you are doing.

Did you watch Ben Hur on PBS?

Who is Rome now?

My dear The Satanic Jews of Hollywood,

"Also proclaims to have proof that Jews did 911 with help from space aliens and the Freemasons."

Space Aliens and Freemasons?

Ha! That is what the Scientologists want you to believe!
