In North America anyhow. I have had to do research on hair products, skin products, undergarments, etc etc and made the changes. It costs a bit more, but my spirit feels damn good when i write the manufacturer and say.. "today I did NOT buy... because... " I know there is something in my pc but I have had this thing for a long time, previous purchases do not apply to the boycott. If you buy local goods also, crafts, etc, you can go a long way towards avoiding Israeli made goods. Of course not using a cell or being into those dumb time consuming electronic gadgets probably helps too. As for the rest, Sounds good to me. I think another resolution... Learn how it was done by the ancestors because, like making houses of mud, and some of them very attractive, there might be a need for the wisdom of the elders again. And Palesine Remembered is a GREAT site for memories. #8 is tough but it can be done. In North America anyhow.

Why is it ok to refer to the ethnicity of Palestinian/Arab collaborators but not ok to refer to the ethnicity of Zionists? And is terminology seriously the most pressing concern Palestinians have now? Would you preach to a Black slave to use "the slaveowners" instead of "Whites"? "to stop blaming everything on “the yahood” and start blaming Zionists, Palestinian/Arab collaborators, the United States and Europe."

Boycott Israel until it no longer has the power to bomb the Arab world back to the Stone Age.

Boycotting everything connected to Israel. I know you mean to publicly do that, like with boycott resolutions. Otherwise, it's like a tree falling in the forest, or one hand clapping. That really is the historical experiences of other anti-colonial struggles, most spectacularly South Africa. I can't wait to see the next boycott resolution in the university student governments. It will be a great relief, after years of... you know. Will, you're moving in the right dorection. Boycotting everything connected to Israel.
