According to an anti-Israeli Yahoo! group - The Evils of Isreal [sic] (the
name speaks for itself, don't you think?) - this is a list of countries that
support Palestine:

Before we start boycotting companies just on the say-so of a Yahoo! group,
it would be good to investigate a bit and see first, what is meant by
'support Palestine', and what these companies are doing or not doing that
might be construed as support. Remember that anyone can create a Yahoo!
group. It doesn't require accuracy, truthfulness or any connection to
reality. This "list" could just as easily be the work of someone with a
grudge against those companies rather than anything they're doing or not
doing. Personally, I find the listing to be somewhat incredulous, with some
names being there based on urban legends and internet hoaxes.

You want me to sell my (fantasy) Aston Martin, because someone says the
parent company (Ford) supports "Palestine"? There is no such thing as
Palestine! How can they support it? On the other hand, even the goverment of
Israel "officially" supports a Palestine.

You have a good point. I just reposted what was mailed to me by a friend.

Why boycott them exactly? Should you not boycott the companies that sponsor israel an their industrialised mass sluaghter of palestinian civilians. Israel are doing to the palestianians what the nazis did to the jews.

Apparently you don't know what the nazis did to the Jews. And maybe
you don't know what the Jews are doing to the Palestinian Arabs.

Who feed you the tripe you are repeating? And why don't you put some
effort into reading the truth?

You can't boycott everyone who holds a slightly different political position to your
own, although it the US we're reaching the situation where Republicans and
Democrats can't even eat in the same fried chicken franchise.

Pro-Palestinian is similar to "peace campaigner". It can mean anything from
wanting to help the Palestinians out to the most obnoxious Israel and West-
hating position.

I don't know how you got here.

Hey, I have an idea. Maybe you could go to Syria.

If you check the time stamp, Fiona wrote that 12 years ago... She hasn't
posted here
in years.... Putting aside this guys position on Israel, why he was
responding to a 12
year old post is really weird...

The moderators gave us a chew-toy to play with as an early Chanukah gift.

Your statement is so off the mark, it ain't funny.
When Jordan and Egypt had administrative control of those territories, the infant mortality rate was much higher than when Israel took over. Israel's involvement saved the lives of many children as the infant mortality rate went down quite a bit.
When Jordan and Egypt had control, the average life expectancy of an adult living in those territories was much lower. It went up substantially since Israel took over thanks to clean water projects, etc. Israel has actually saved lives there.

You have no clue evidently what the Nazis did.
Try reading about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem -- an ancestor of Yasser Arafat-- and his close relationship with Hitler, and how he contributed to the designs of at least one concentration camp. And how he delayed allowing Jewish people to leave the Nazi areas to get to Jerusalem and the British territory and how he contributed to the deaths of 200,000 Jews.

And what is one of the largest groups trying to emigrate into Israel? Arab Christians. Go study history and figure out why they want to come to Israel.
