Is there some URL with the petition FOR boycott? I'd go gladly and sign (and send all my friends I could muster).

Please tell us

Fuck you.

Thank you!

Thank you for the link, cema! You were very eloquent in replying to the previous post placed by Anonymous - I can sign up under your reply to him/her.

I did sign the petition against Israeli boycott and sent the link to all my real friends. You are my only virtual friend so far as am trying to figure out how to navigate the journal which I've just started, and am very flattered that you've included yourself on my friends list. I really have only one Interest, or rather just one which I am always eager and ready to disuses - Jewish people, Israel, Judaism.

All the best!

Thank you. Eloquence is my goal.

Arizona is a beautiful place. Never been there, always wanted. Maybe will pass through it (on the way from KY to CA) in early August.

A natural way to "navigate LJ" is to create an interesting list of friends and monitor it. This includes real people and their virtuals ("users") as well as groups of people ("communities"). This way, you can (1) keep in touch with those who live far away but you do not want to part with, and (2) keep track of what is going on in various places around the world (as well as inside various heads around the world).

There are plenty of interesting communities related to Israel and Jews (Judaism also, but as a secular Jew I am not really into it), and there are users whose journals are primarily devoted to single topics or groups of topics related to Jewish life. Look eg at shvil, david_2, imenno (khatul), nechaman, read their journals and comments, and go on from there.

Have fun!

Re: Thank you!

а за что академический бойкот, или по совокупности, и чья инициатива?

[cema.livejournal.com]

Британский профсоюз работников высшего образования и научных работников рекомендовал бойкот изральских работников высшего образования и научных работников. Примерно так.

[tan-y.livejournal.com]

а по какому-то конкретному поводу?

[zmyhbka.livejournal.com]

сема - привет!

надо ж - какие паразиты!

а не боисся профсоюзы, сема?

они ж - мафиа. ну, по крайней мере по правильнуы усторону атлантики...

[selfmade.livejournal.com]

По-моему, остаться в таком профсоюзе - назвать себя расистом. Кстати, какой толк от профсоюза, anyway?

[cema.livejournal.com]

Ну нет, какой-то толк там вроде есть. Зарплаты, то да сё. Из (многочисленных) статей об этом, из Jerusalem Post мне запомнилась одна, сейчас поищу.

Чёрт, ничего нету, а что есть, то за денежку. В общем, вопросы конфликтов интересов с администрацией, как водится. Ещё там говорят, что функционеры, как всегда, радикальные, а нормальные члены нормальные.

Я вообще против таких бойкотов. В том числе против бойкота ЮАР в своё время (но это сейчас я против, а тогда был ещё маленьким и своего мнения не имел).

Но в отношении Израиля этот бойкот сопряжён ещё и с враньём. Израиль оболгали так же, как в своё время — и надолго — оболгали евреев. (Неудивительно!)

Хорошо, что Израиль есть.

[boris71.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Posted in my LJ as well.

[cema.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw it. And I found several names I recognized in the list of signatures. There is still room for more.

[chaource.livejournal.com]

I never understood this thing about Israel. Why don't they make a big concrete wall around the country along some suitable borders, so that the talk about "occupation" can be stopped? Why don't they officially separate themselves from the Palestinian "autonomy" and stop financing the Palestinian regime? Let the Palestinians stay there with or without an official State of Palestine, whatever. Why not bomb every point in Gaza until the guerillas stop firing hand-made missiles? For a side observer (I am not Jewish), this is a very strange war indeed.

And yes, I am against the boycott too and I already signed. I recently wrote a paper with a very bright graduate student from North Korea. It seems that he dearly wishes to remain in the West.

[zmyhbka.livejournal.com]

:))))))

sorry, dude - couldn't help myself...

[cema.livejournal.com]

From your proposal I can see you are not Jewish. What about hand wringing, lamentations and unjustified best intentions? What about self-doubts and looking for the best in your enemies? No, that's not a Jewish way...

On a more serious note, indeed a separation and a border are needed. Question is where to draw the line (and how).

And, of course, "bombing every point in Gaza" is impossible. There are plenty of innocent people there. Not saints, but largely innocent. (Plenty of not so innocent ones as well, they can be taken care of by other means, if there is a will.)

проблема - после того как подписался - они присылают спам
таким организациям надо драть задницу

[cema.livejournal.com]

Может быть, только их администраторам.

[french-man.livejournal.com]

Да, пидорасы. Я был в числе первых подписантов, и уже полтора месяца ихний спам чищу.

[cema.livejournal.com]

Так, да? Жаль. У меня от них, правда, спама вроде не было. Хотя чёрт его знает.
