Turkey Owes Israel an Apology and Compensation:

When Turkish extremists bent on violence provocatively attempted to break Israel's UN-validated Gaza blockade Israel stopped them. The extremists attacked and injured a number of Israeli soldiers and 9 of the attackers were killed. But instead of apologizing to Israel, the Turks demanded Israel apologize to them. Israel rightly refused until Obama pressured Israel to apologize (without anything in return) and Netanyahu did so. Since then Israel has seen an increasingly hostile Turkish government do everything it can to make Israel regret doing so, including pursuing a number of court actions. Rightfully, it is Turkey that owes Israel an apology and compensation for Israel's injured soldiers. 4/14/13



Boycott All Links to Anti-Israel Media:

The anti-Israel media are desperate to get you to follow them online. The NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine, CNN, etc. now earn considerable income from companies that advertise on their websites. Every time you visit their website or click on a link to their website you are helping to contribute to those ad revenues. Refuse to click or send out any link to anti-Israel media.

Obama Has a Long way to Go to Reach the Israeli People:

In his speech to a selected group of students in Jerusalem, the President pleaded the PLO "occupation" cause to a politely clapping audience. He ignored ongoing and persistent PLO terrorism, incitement to violence, and refusal to recognize Israel. It was obvious this PLO centric speech was the reason for Obama's end run around the Knesset which has upset a number of Israelis. In addition, his exclusion of Ariel U students from the audience (no doubt because of their "settler" base), and his refusal to offer any hope for the release of Pollard, show he has a long way to go in winning the hearts and minds of Israelis. 3/22/13



LA Times Owes Israel an Apology:

On November 16, 2012, LA Times 'reporter' Edmund Sanders wrote "Omar Misharawi, was killed Wednesday in an Israeli attack". As reported below, the UN recenctly concluded it was likely a PLO rocket, not Israel, that killed the baby. Sanders is among a host of other so-called news reporters who wrongfully accused Israel and has failed to apologize. Sanders in fact did his best to put a PLO spin on the subject questioning the UN findings, implying they were wrong. The LA Times and Sanders owe Israel an apology - see also CAMERA analysis. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-Israel LA Times and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll. 3/20/13


UN Exonerates Israel, Anti-Israel Media Disimissive:

The UN has exonerated Israel of responsibility for the widely propagandized death of 11-month-old Omar Masharawi whose father was a BBC "reporter" in Gaza, concluding that the likely cause was a PLO rocket. But a viscerally anti-Israel media which normally loves the blatantly anti-Israel UN reports are dismissing and challenging the findings of this group of UN experts. The NY Times and LA Times used their reports to dispute the UN's findings. The Wahington Post dismissed the report as unimportant. The shoddy, arrogant BBC's reaction is insulting, preferring to believe the father of the victim ("rubbish") over the word of (normally anti-Israel) independent UN investigators. AP has been accused of applying retroactive corrections to its false report of the death. This is to be expected from a media so driven by anti-semitic bias against Israel that it is unable to muster the integrity to ever acknowledge its faults. There is only one response to the unethical anti-Israel media; boycott it. Stop buying, subscribing to, or even clicking on links to anti-Israel media. see Honor Roll 3/14/13


The Ugliness of a PLO Promoting 'Beauty Products' Company:

Click here to see a FLUSH LUSH protest outside LUSH Cosmetics in Beverly Hills, CA, which has since closed

LUSH Cosmetics, an international 'beauty products' company, continues to spread ugly anti-Israel propaganda through its website. LUSH gives your hard earned wages to the extremist One World Campaign which portrays Israel as an "illegal" occupier committing "crimes" against "Palestine", and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza. LUSH also supports a so-called "charity" Bustan Qaraaqa which actively advocates against Israel and the "brutality of the military occupation, the Wall and the Settlements". This is an abuse of LUSH's privileged position on Main Street USA and JtB urges you not to shop there. Please join our growing FLUSH LUSH protest and write to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism and CC jointheboycott@inbox.com - see example and list of US and UK locations - (above) the LUSH store in Santa Monica, CA - photo © JtB 3/12/13


The Intensity of a Hater of the Jewish State:

When fanatic Israel hater UK MP George Galloway walked out of a debate at Oxford University with a student who has Israeli citizenship he was justifiably accused of racism (see video below). Over the years Galloway has expressed an intense hatred of Israel both in word and action. He has been an outspoken advocate for the most extreme PLO terrorists of Hamas. A hatred of the Jewish State as intense as Galloway's is clearly not a rational but an emotional choice coming from someone not immediately involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict. "Hashem maintains a war against Amalek from generation to generation" (Exodus 17:16). 2/23/13

Whole Foods, Trader Joe's Still Support Extremist Anti-Israel KPFK:

click here for more info on the anti-Israel anti-semitic KPFK Radio   "Resistance [i.e. PLO terrorism] and the Right of Return" say the anti-Israel fanatics at KPFK from their studio in North Hollywood, CA. KPFK was exposed by the Jewish Journal in 2009 for its blatant anti-semitism, but this self-described "pacifist" radio station continues to wage war against Israel.
Whole Foods and Trader Joe's remain publicly listed KPFK supporters. JtB urges KPFK patrons to stop donating to this anti-Israel hatemonger and to stop shopping at all stores that lend their name in support. 2/18/13

Boycott Best Buy for Supporting Extremist Anti-US Anti-Israel CAIR .Best Buy is Supporting Anti-US Anti-Israel CAIR:
Best Buy is giving your hard-earned wages to CAIR, an extremist anti-US anti-Israel organization. CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial accused of funneling funds to the Hamas terrorist group. The US has also identified CAIR as an agent of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood with a goal of imposing Islamic Law in the US by means of "stealth jihad" on the way to achieving a "global Islamic State". Earlier this year CAIR announced that Best Buy was a Platinum Sponsor of its annual banquet in Minnesota (see facebook posting below) and according to the website Islamist Watch, Best Buy has refused to rule out further funding of CAIR. Best Buy has not responded to JtB's letter expressing outrage over its support of CAIR. Please do not shop at Best Buy until it commits to stop supporting CAIR and please write to them at communityrelations@bestbuy.com to express your outrage and CC us at jointheboycott@inbox.com. Thank you. 12/3/12

Using Journalism as a Cover to Target Israel at the NY Times:

The hypocrisy of the NY Times is galling. David Carr ("Using War as a Cover to Target Journalists", B1, B5, 11/26/12), accuses Israel of deliberately targeting journalists in Gaza. Carr implies that 7 million Israeli civilians (for whom he shows no concern) should continue to risk their lives and huddle in bomb shelters while a few so-called journalists go about their busy work generating PLO propaganda in comfort.
Carr admits that Israel warned journalists to stay away from the terrorists. He also admits that journalists know the risks of entering a war zone. He also concedes that the buildings Israel hit "might have included legitimate targets". He even admits that the US targeted Iraqi media in Baghdad. Carr did omit to mention that in the Kosovo War the US and Britain levelled the Serbian State TV (RTS) building in the middle of Belgrade as part of an intensive 2½ month bombing campaign in March-June, 1999. And that the ICTY found no need to investigate the bombing (par. 71-79). Carr gives no basis for questioning the IDF assertion it was targeting terrorist operations, or his position that even if they were, it's wrong for Israel to do so, even though it was right for the US and Britain do so.
What Carr does not tell us is what real journalists should be telling the world. That the PLO terrorists were firing rockets indiscriminately at Israel's civilians and were using their own population, including journalists, as human shields, both of which are war crimes.
Carr shows us here how anti-Israel he is and what he is using his journalism as a cover for... targeting Israel. Subscribers, please call 1-800-698-4637 and cancel your extremist anti-Israel NY Times and please let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll. (below video of reaction to appointment of Jodi Rudoren, who sent out anti-Israel tweets, as the NY Times Israel Bureau Chief earlier this year) 11/29/12

LA Times Anti-Israel Bias is Malicious:

On Thursday November 22, the LA Times acknowledged through reporter Edmund Sanders that "even after the cease-fire went into effect about half a dozen rockets were fired into Israel".
On Saturday November 24, just two days later, after an attempted PLO infiltration at the Gaza border caused Israel to shoot, the LA Times through the same Edmund Sanders contradicted its own earlier report stating "the [Israeli] shootings marked the first episode of violence since the cease-fire went into effect".
When the same reporter lies about the facts he reported 2 days earlier and portrays Israel as the aggressor and first breaker of the cease-fire, when it was clearly the PLO terrorists who were the aggressors and first breakers of the cease-fire, the bias is malicious.
Also, 3 days after Operation Pillar of Defense ended, the LA Times finally mentioned the name of a Jewish victim, that of Lieutenant Boris Yarmolnik, Z"L, but gave no details like they do for PLO victims. During the entire Pillar of Defense Operation the LA Times did not mention the name of a single Jewish victim killed or injured, but did give us copious detailed coverage of PLO victims (see "Dehumanizing Jewish Victims" below). They also counted PLO injured on a near daily basis but did not count Israel's 300 or so injured. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-semitic anti-Israel LA Times and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll.

BBC Middle East Chief Sharpens His PLO Propaganda Skills:

Paul Danahar, the BBC's Middle East Bureau Chief, spends a good deal of his time in Gaza brushing up on his PLO propaganda skills. Among a number of hostile anti-Israel tweets, he criticized Israel's tagetting of media buildings the PLO terrorists were using to communicate (see below). JtB reminded Danahar of the US and Britain's far greater pulverizing of Yugoslavian communications during an intensive 2½ month bombing campaign in the Kosovo War in March-June, 1999. In one sortie NATO bombers levelled the Serbian State TV (RTS) building in the city of Belgrade (par. 71-79). Danahar has not responded. The BBC has been widely criticized and condemned for its shoddy standards and blatant anti-Israel bias. 11/25/12



Dehumanizing Jewish Victims at the LA Times:

A big new wave of LA Times anti-Israel propaganda is hitting the Southland. In all the voluminous coverage of the recent escalation of the Gaza conflict, the LA Times has not published the name of a single Jewish victim. Pregnant Mira Scharf, 25, Z"L, was killed by a PLO terrorist rocket fired from Gaza last Thursday (11/15/12), and her 1 year old son and husband were injured. No mention by name in the LA Times. No mention either for Aharon Smadja, 49, or Itzik Amsalem, 27, Z"L, killed by the same rocket. In contrast, the LA Times is daily reporting expansively on PLO victims, their names, often inflammatory details of their injuries, comments from friends, relatives, others, poignant vignettes; they made sure to note that an aunt of a named victim who was also allegedly killed was pregnant, but Mira's pregnancy was not significant enough to mention until nearly a week later as part of an outrageous claim that Israel "contributed" to the fatalities. Israel's fatalities were reduced to solitary references to '3 Israelis killed' which is now sadly 5 killed. The LA Times is keeping a daily count of PLO victims injured but are not counting the hundreds of Israelis injured (up to 252 yesterday and 28 more in a terror attack in Tel Aviv today). The LA Times appears to be following a calculated and racist policy of not naming Jewish victims in order to deny Israel sympathy and manipulate public opinion against it. (below Mira Scharf Z"L and her son and husband)


Mira Scharf 25 Z"L, pregnant, killed by a PLO terrorist rocket fired from Gaza, and her 1 year old son and husband who were injured in the explosion on 11/15/12


This calculated policy of dehumanizing Jewish victims, reminiscent of Nazi propaganda, has worked over and over in the past to restrain Israel's actions and thereby aid the PLO. So why not stick with a winning formula? It is primarily up to Israel to steel itself against media hostility and exercise common sense to expel journalists actively aiding the PLO, or deny them access, or both, if necessary. We can help them by exposing and publicizing the anti-Israel bias and racism underlying LA Times coverage and ensuring that not only we, but all our fellow friends of Israel, condemn and boycott the LA Times, the paper, their website, and any other public or online manifestations thereof. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-semitic extremist anti-Israel LA Times and please let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll. 11/22/12



Support for Israel is Strong:

Street level support for Israel is strong in the midst of the latest Gaza conflict. This despite an increasingly hostile anti-Israel media which takes the word of PLO terrorists over the word of honourable men, and actively works to promote the PLO cause. There is no more important a time than now to take a stand for Israel and cancel your anti-Israel NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine, etc. If your paper is anti-Israel do the right thing and cancel it and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll. (below around 3,000 turned out at short notice to show support for Israel in Westwood Sunday, 11/18/12, in a rally organized by StandWithUs) 11/20/12



As usual, the mainstream media are under-reporting the dozens of Israeli casualties (see below) and prominently featuring and reporting as fact what the PLO terrorists tell them about their casualties. Sunday night CBS News failed to even address the subject of Israeli casualties after showing a number of graphic shots of alleged PLO victims. In any event, since the PLO terrorists are committing war crimes by targeting Israeli civilians and using their own population as human shields, they are responsible for all the tragic casualties that result from Israel's exercise of its right to defend itself.



The Media's Boy Wins it Again:

No surprise here. Obama was re-elected with a comfortable margin in a race in which Romney never had a prayer. The media made sure of that. While gleefully exposing Romney's privately expressed and now infamous "47%" remark, the media, with the Los Angeles Times as its leader, contrived to hide Obama's verbal indiscretions by continuing to refuse to release the strategically acquired Khalidi anti-Israel tape and ignoring the issue (see below). This blatant media manipulation is a feature of modern electoral times, and until an anti-media candidate stands up to it, the media will continue to usurp democracy and control the process. Meantime Israel is stuck with another four years of an anti-Israel President who counts PLO and other Islamic radicals among his friends, and is unlikely to treat them any kinder than he did in his first term, and very possibly worse. 11/9/12
