Princess Cruise Lines Omits Israel From Map - Claims "Mistake":

Click here for the latest developments in the protest against Princess Cruise Lines' omission of Israel from its map
Princess Cruise Lines which runs cruises from Haifa to Alexandria and other destinations has been distributing a brochure showing maps of the Middle East which omit Israel and show Jordan with a coastline! (see above) When presented with protests over this, Princess claims it was a mistake. A corrected version is available online, but Princess has yet to show that this version is the one being distributed. Until they do so, Join the Boycott recommends you do not book any cruises with Princess Cruise Lines and please write to Karen Candy at Princess at kcandy@princesscruises.com to protest and CC to jointheboycott@inbox.com - see example. 12/7/10

LA Times Agitates Non-Stop for the PLO:

Edmund Sanders is the latest in a generation-long line of LA Times propagandists like Richard Boudreaux, Laura King, Tracy Wilkinson, Megan Stack, etc., who agitate for the PLO with a non-stop stream of virulently anti-Israel propaganda. see "Former Israeli Soldier" (11/18/10), "Israel Appears Defiant" (11/14/10), "Settlement Fatigue" (11/11/10). If you're still buying the racist anti-Israel LA Times you're part of the problem - call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 11/16/10

LA Times Fatigue:

In an editorial entitled "Settlement Fatigue" (11/11/10, p. 30) the LA Times sums up its 35 years of tiresome PLO propaganda and calls settlements, i.e. towns and villages with Jewish residents, "an obstacle to peace". For an entire generation this fast-declining and widely despised newspaper has been poluting Southern California with its racist 'Jews out of Judea' fanaticism. They portray Israel as the aggressor and Jews as the interlopers and refer to the Jewish homeland of Judea and Samaria as "occupied territories" (how can you be an "occupier" of your own homeland?). They whitewah the worst PLO atrocities calling terrorists "militants" and Israeli retaliation "assassinations". They claim that "most of the world agrees that the settlements are illegal" but can offer no authority for that statement. There is none. They follow a propaganda philosophy reminiscent of the Nazis, that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will eventually believe it. Judea and Samaria are Jewish sovereign territory. The LA Times is an "obstacle to peace". Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your racist anti-Israel LA Times, and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 11/11/10


Further Precipitous Drop in Circulation of Anti-Israel LA Times:

There has been an 8% drop in circulation of the LA Times in the six months ended in September. see E&P (see full feature below). Other anti-Israel papers: NY Times down 5%, Washington Post down 6%, Philadelphia Inquirer down 5%. hat-tip: Bob 10/26/10


Another Push for Pollard's Release - Will it Work?

Another push is under way for the release of Jonathan Pollard now in his 25th year of incarceration for a crime he should have served just 2 years. The LA Times weighs in against his release in a heartless editorial which mentions the disproportionality argument but, as usual, fails to analyze it. A comparison of Pollard's sentence with those of other convicted spies, who compromised US security to a far greater degree, would compel Pollard's immediate release. This injustice must end. 10/26/10



Artful Anti-Jewish Racism - The LA Times Viewpoint:

LA Times Headline, October 3, 2010, page AA2


Stand Tall LA Times Boycotters - Circulation Down 14.7%:

Circulation of the anti-Israel anti-semitic LA Times is down by 14.7% in just the first half of 2010. The newspaper's virulently anti-settler narrative is implicitly anti-Jewish racist. Trully fair minded people are as concerned about Jewish rights as they are about Arab rights, and would not advocate the eviction of Jewish residents from Judea, a blatant form of discrimination and an affront to history. 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 - above, US Bank and Citicorp Buildings in downtown Los Angeles - photo © JtB 10/11/10


Join the Boycott of Anti-Israel Anti-Semitic TIME Magazine:

More Friends of Israel are discovering the indispensibility of boycotts in the fight against anti-Israel propaganda. After TIME Magazine publishes an ugly anti-Israel and anti-semitic article entitled "Why Israel Doesn't Care About Peace" portraying Israel as the peace spoiler, far more interested in making money, CAMERA sends an email alert calling on the magazine's subscribers to "reconsider subscribing" - and StandWithUs urges its members to strike back at anti-Israel boycotters by "boycott[ing] the boycotters". JtB has long advocated the boycott of TIME Magazine for its long-standing hostility toward Israel - see Oct '06, Feb '05 - please cancel your TIME subscriptions and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll. JtB has been committed to the boycott of the anti-Israel media and its supporters since 1988 - it is the right thing to do morally and politically. 9/23/10


Manipulating the Facts on Hebron is an LA Times Specialty:

Hebron has "150,000 Arabs and 400 Jews" (9/3/10, front page, 6) according to Edmund Sanders, the latest LA Times anti-Israel propagandist (in 2004 they said 900 Jewish settlers). As if that justifies expelling them! Taking into account Hebron's suburbs which include Qiryat Arba, this historic Jewish city now has at least 8,000 Jewish residents. Such blatant manipulation is an LA Times specialty. It is part of their racist 'Jews Out of Judea' campaign. If you are a subscriber you are part of the problem - call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-Israel LA Times and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 9/12/10


Boycott Oliver Stone - Another Anti-Jewish Racist:

Director Oliver Stone made a number of toxic anti-semitic comments in an interview with the Sunday Times alleging "Jewish domination of the media" and calling Hitler "misunderstood". Stone is joining an exclusive Hollywood club of anti-Jewish racists starring the declining Mel Gibson. Stone's qualified apology is unconvincing. see also JTA JtB urges you to Boycott Oliver Stone and his movie "South of the Border" - and click here to see a list of Stone's movies to avoid, and destroy if you own them. Join Haim Saban's protest and write to CBS at contact@support.sho.com and cc jointheboycott@inbox.com asking CBS to cancel Stone's Showtime series "A Secret History of America". 7/30/10


It's All One-Way Anti-Israel Propaganda at the LA Times:

It's a constant flow of anti-Israel propaganda at the LA Times with exaggerated claims of Gaza suffering (front page 6/13/10) and no effort to investigate Turkey's ties to terrorism except to briefly whitewash them. If you are a subscriber you are part of the problem - call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-Israel LA Times and write to jointheboycott@inbox.com to let us know you did so. see Honor Roll 6/22/10

Mainstream Media is an Ally of the PLO and its Terrorism:

Reuters has again been caught red-handed manipulating photos to hurt Israel. see FOX The leaders of mainstream media, AP, Reuters, the major American and Western TV and press do not "get it wrong" or "fall for it" as so many critics of the media put it. They get it exactly right, just as they intend, because they are allies of the PLO and its terrorist cause and have been for an entire generation. 6/11/10


Condemn Turkey For Its Continuing Provocations:

Turkey's continuing outrageous illegal flotilla provocations against Israel raise the question why Israel would either need or want Turkey as a friend. Under Prime Minister Erdogan, Turkey has become yet another extremist Moslem state with a hostile anti-Israel agenda. The purpose of the flotillas is to open a route to smuggle more arms to the Hamas terrorists running Gaza. Israel has every legal right to enforce its blockade. The UN should condemn Turkey and investigate its ties to terrorism.
In the interim Friends of Israel around the world are showing their support with
rallies in many major cities, including Los Angeles, where around 4,000 turned out to express their solidarity with Israel. see StandWithUs 6/7/10


LA Times: Israel Taking "Hard Line" in Defending Itself

The extremist Israel haters at the LA Times consider Israel's defending itself to be "hard line" (front page 6/2/10). In fact it is the editors at the LA Times who are as hard line anti-Israel as the Hamas terrorists they support. No doubt they are encouraged by an anti-Israel President who this week openly sided against Israel. Subscribers, the time is NOW to call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-Israel LA Times and write to jointheboycott@inbox.com to let us know you did so. see Honor Roll
In the interim a super courageous young Israeli-American shows support for Israel in Los Angeles against a mob of screaming Arab extremists (see video below). And
Standwithus is organizing demonstrations to show support for Israel - the next one is on Sunday June 6 at the Israeli Consulate. 6/3/10


Outrageous Provocation by Hamas Terror Supporting Flotilla:

The flotilla of anti-Israel hate and support for Hamas terrorism was an outrageous provocation and a violent Moslem extremist attack on Israel and it has been effectively rebuffed by Israeli commando action. The loss of life is unfortunate but the armed and violent supporters of Hamas are entirely to blame. Israel now turns its attention to the diplomatic fallout. 5/31/10


President in Photo Ops to Cover Crisis Management Shortcomings:

A President who should have declared a national environmental emergency on the third day of the Gulf oil spill and called for volunteers nationwide to protect the coast, is now having to defend himself against charges he is short on leadership in a crisis. James Carville Slams Obama, Fox, NY Daily News He is arguably doing worse in the public's eye than did President Bush with Hurricane Katrina. WSJ So now Obama is turning to his ally the mainstream media to repair his damaged image. 5/30/10


More Self-Righteous Hypocrisy from the Anti-Israel LA Times:

In "Censorship in Israel: A Unique Model" (5/3/10, p. 4), the LA Times accuses Israel of being "a totalitarian regime" like Sudan and Iran, because of its military censorship, but omits to mention that the State Department does the same thing under the banner of "Classified" - as all countries do with their sensitive military information. This is simply more gratuitous LA Times negative imaging of Israel. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel your self-righteous, hypocritical, anti-Israel LA Times. see Honor Roll 5/3/10


UK Zionist Federation Fighting a Wave of Hate:

The wave of anti-Israel hatred in the UK has the Zionist Federation fighting a fierce battle to get Israel's message out to the public. Please send letters of support to office@zionist.org.uk and cc to jointheboycott@inbox.com 4/13/10


America Under an Anti-Israel President:

From the moment he took office, Barack Obama has been pushing hard a radical anti-Israel agenda. Obama will not bend on his Arab position on Jewish construction, new building that Israelis support almost unanimously. Loudly backed up by a virulently anti-Israel media, his mindset is that of a person who does not respect Jewish sovereign and human rights. Pushing extremist Arab positions is not making peace but increasing tensions. Letters to president@whitehouse.gov and cc to jointheboycott@inbox.com 3/26/10


LA Times Replaces History With PLO Gospel:

In an editorial entitled "Staying True To 'Two-State'", the LA Times rewrites history putting the blame solely on Israel for the failure of the Oslo Accords, omitting Arafat and the PLO's terrorism, intransigence, and refusal to accept or even negotiate Israel's overly generous peace offers. It also underhandedly promotes the hateful "apartheid" rhetoric of the extremist anti-Israel fringe. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel your anti-Israel LA Times. see Honor Roll 3/11/10


KPFK Continues to Broadcast Hamas Propaganda:

At the Anti-Israel LA Times Hypocrisy Abounds:

The LA Times is more comfortable talking about targeted killings of terrorists it alleges Israel committed, than the numerous killings of terrorists the US is committing - not than any sane American has a problem with those US actions - but they are not the blatant hypocrites the LA Times writers are. see Dubai Names More Suspects, Targeted For Death, Mossad Fumble An Apparent Surprise. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel your anti-Israel LA Times. see Honor Roll 2/26/10


"Edge of Darkness" - A Mel Gibson Boycott Reminder:

Friends of Israel have not forgotten Mel Gibson's cowardly, racist tirade against the Jewish people and his grossly anti-semitic "Passion of the Christ" movie. Even Barbara Walters was offended enough to want to stop seeing his movies. Now Mel wants your patronage of his new movie "Edge of Darkness". Join the Boycott continues to urge a boycott of all Mel Gibson movies, an action which has been ongoing since 2006. see Walters Joins the Boycott and Mel's Explanation If you would like to comment on this subject please do so on our message board here. hat-tip: Linda 1/25/10


Haiti Suffering - Slow, Unaccustomed Praise for Israeli Relief Effort:

The suffering in Haiti is immense and Israel has made a substantial effort to help. The media has been slow to recognize it, but is now offering real and unaccustomed praise for Israel's contribution. Dr. Jennifer Ashton of CBS News calls the Israeli Field Hospital "the Rolls Royce of Emergency Medical Care" (video). Haiti relief donations to Operation USA, others 1/19/10

Carter "Apologizes" to Jewish Voters as Grandson Enters Politics:

Jimmy Carter told the JTA he regrets "stigmatiz[ing]" Israel in remarks that coincide with his grandson's contemplated run for Georgia State Senator. Keep returning those Carter Center envelopes empty and without a stamp and please include this fitting Steve Kelley cartoon (see below). 12/24/09


LA Times Lets in a Ray of Light:

The LA Times allows a rare moment of truth in "A Right To Build" (online the title is "Israeli Settlements Are More Than Legitimate") by CAMERA's Eric Rozenmann, which spells out the modern legal basis of the right of Israelis to live in Judea and Samaria. Such rare expressions of the Israeli viewpoint are drowned by the constant drumbeat of anti-Israel propaganda and are used by the LA Times to justify its extreme Arab bias and virulent anti-"settlement" politics. 12/23/09


Junk Mail Solicitations From Jimmy Carter! - Return Them Empty:

Are you receiving junk mail solicitations from The Carter Center and Human Rights Watch? The Chutzpah! These two virulently anti-Israel, anti-semitic entities are seeking your charity dollars to continue their evil work. They may even be targeting you because you have a Jewish sounding name! Please send the envelopes back empty and without a stamp - and you may want to include this fitting Steve Kelley cartoon re Carter (hat-tip: Jack). see also Emes Ve-Emunah - Respectable Anti-Semites, The Real Jimmy Carter If you have a suggestion you would like to share please post it on our Board here (just scroll down and fill in the fields). 11/22/09

LA Times - PLO Protests Are "Nonviolent" Despite Rock Throwers:

Protests in Judea and Samaria are "nonviolent" despite the slinging of rocks according to the LA Times, because it is "teenagers" who only "occasionally strike soldiers", and the leader "work[s]" to enforce "zero-tolerance of violence", but fails to do so. see "Armed With A Belief In Peace" (online it is entitled "Palestinians Who See Nonviolence As Their Weapon"), CAMERA. The LA Times' Richard Boudreaux whitewashes the PLO of responsibility for its violence. Boudreaux is the PLO propagandist currently spearheading their generation-long anti-Israel campaign and insulting your intelligence.

Tribute To A Great Fighter for Israel and Supporter of JtB:


Beth Rathbone, Z"L, 1949-2009


Join the Boycott pays tribute to a great fighter for Israel and one of JtB's greatest supporters, Beth Rathbone, Z"L, who sadly passed away in July of this year. Our sincere condolences to her family. She was a fighter for the truth, who understood the power and importance of the JtB message. She wrote prolifically in support of Israel (sometimes under the name "Abby"), always passionately, and with a commitment that was unparalleled. see e.g. re PBS, SWC advertising in the anti-Israel LA Times, Yahoo Censorship of JtB, Ralphs, Obama She will be greatly missed. 11/1/09


Fighting The Racists on the So-Called "Left":

The so-called political "left" is today a haven for racists who express their anti-Jewish hatred by advocating Palestinians' "human rights" while ignoring Israelis' human rights. The LA Times and KPFK are among the leaders of the racist "left". In the shameful Goldstone Report, a Jewish jurist spearheads this attack on Israel's right to defend itself. Below - British Army Col. Richard Kemp tells the UNHRC that "the IDF is the most moral army in the world". We agree, but Israel does not owe the Arab-dominated UN an explanation. see also WSJ ("[Goldstone] report in effect declared the entire anti-terrorism campaign to be a war crime"). 10/21/09


LA Times - Israeli Reaction to Goldstone Report is the Problem:

The virulently anti-Israel comes up with more tortured logic claiming that Israeli reaction to the blatantly anti-Israel Goldstone Report is the problem, not the report itself. see "Fanning the Flames" (online it is entitled "The Golstone Fallout"), YNET. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel your racist anti-Israel LA Times. 10/15/09

Boycott the LA Times:

"Boycott Israel" by Neve Gordon is the message of the LA Times in its Op-Ed columns where Hamas extremists and Israelis who support their enemies are regularly welcomed. The LA Times has boycotted Israel's side of the story for over 20 years but under Obama they now say openly what they have been preaching subvertly all that time. Boycott them back! Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel your openly extremist anti-Israel LA Times. 8/21/09


Free All Captive Bnei Yisrael Now:

7 Israeli soldiers are still listed as missing in action. Join the Boycott calls on the respective Governments to free all captive Bnei Yisrael now! Zecharya Baumel, Zvi Feldman, and Yehuda Katz have been missing since 1982, Ron Arad since 1986, Guy Hever since 1997, Majdy Halabi since 2005, Gilad Shalit since 2006 (see petition), and the stain of US anti-semitism is evident in the continuing incarceration of Jonathan Pollard now over 23 years. 8/20/09


Statement Regarding Yahoo Censorship

Yahoo have engaged in censorship of Join the Boycott shutting down our website without notice or explanation and refusing to put it back online. Join the Boycott continues to examine its options in response to Yahoo's outrageous actions. However, to avoid repeated Yahoo interruptions of our service, we have decided to direct all future development here at jtbla.com.

The voice of Friends of Israel will not be silenced. We will continue to express our support of Israel and expose anti-Israel propaganda in the Los Angeles Times and elsewhere.

We urge you to reduce your use of Yahoo in favor of other services. We thank you for your support and look forward to providing more incisive analysis and potent action in support of US-Israel friendship.
