There's a trial going on here at the minute of an ex British soldier accused of shooting an ‘innocent vulnerable man’ in the back while he was running away from him.."Belfast Crown Court was told that Mr Cunningham was a vulnerable adult with a fear of the military who was likely to hide if he met them."

Name_Taken_Too: Do you think boycotts make a difference?
Israel’s settlements contribute to serious human rights abuses and are a direct cause for restrictions on Palestinian freedom of movement, access to natural resources and ability to build homes and conduct business. UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) reconfirmed the illegality of Israeli settlements, denouncing them as “flagrant violations” of international law.
Nah...boycotts would do almost nothing to israel, Name. You would need a bigger stick...a much much "bigger stick" to sort them out. You may want to try "army of Khorasan" and see if that army can sort them out. Oh, by the way, conrad knows very well about this "army of Khorasan" and so do many "rabbis" in Jerusalem Israel’s settlements contribute to serious human rights abuses and are a direct cause for restrictions on Palestinian freedom of movement, access to natural resources and ability to build homes and conduct business.

I hear what you're saying Rambo, but do you think it was effective during the Apartheid times in South Africa? I think it played a part in bringing down that regime.. ------ This thread is Archived ------

Yes....that's true, but there is a huge difference between South africa and the illegal state of israel: the people who ruled south africa at least had a "soul" and "conscience", but unfortunately, the same can't be said about the "people" of Israel. They are essentially the "followers of Jasad"

At the end of the day it is the people that have the power, if only they would stand together, no regime is invincible..

Oh..the people of palestine (the bravest people on this earth without any doubt) have already stood up and have been challenging Israel for almost 75 years, Name. But they can only do so much, given the fact that pretty much all the superpowers are supporting israel since day 1. But, the palestinians will also have "their say" very soon, i mean very very soon, and israel has already found out this in the latest confrontation. ------ This thread is Archived ------

I agree about the Palestinian people, I'm talking about the international community standing up with them, Israel ignores international courts with impunity, no other country gets away with as much human rights abuses as them..------ This thread is Archived ------

you are absolutely right that if international community stand up with them (palestine), israel will be finished in a matter of days, but are the international community really standing up? the answer is "no". Now, you may want to ask as to why the international community is not protesting the actions of the illegal state of israel, and it is a "trillion" dollar question, literally. But,i think that you already know the answer to this trillion dollar question. But, just to give you a hint, international community, specially the non-muslims, doesn't really prefer to see muslims becoming too much comfortable with themselves. Of course, countries like ireland and scotland are a bit different..------ This thread is Archived ------

I agree, Name, but unfortunately not enough people is willing to walk that extra mile to save palestine, simply because they lack yours or mine conscience. You want a proof of that? Just make a poll and see what percentage of people here on the CS is willing to go along with your idea of boycott?
