Anti-Israel LUSH Cosmetics Quietly Closes Beverly Hills Store:


The anti-Israel company LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills location approximately 3 months after JtB organized a protest outside the store to expose the company's support of PLO extremism (see above). LUSH (with stores in the UK, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Anaheim, all over the US, and over 40 countries) is taking your money and giving it to support the PLO's extremist One World Campaign which portrays Israel as an "illegal" occupier committing "crimes" against "Palestine" and grossly exagerrates the suffering in Gaza. Please write to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism and CC jointheboycott@inbox.com - see example and list of US locations - "FLUSH LUSH" video © JtB 12/29/11

Netanyahu Refuses to Write Op-Ed for Anti-Israel NY Times:

Netanyahu deserves high praise for refusing an invitation from the NY Times to write an Op-ed, citing the paper's anti-Israel bias. In fact the NY Times and the LA Times are often in competition over the virulence of their anti-Israel propaganda. New York still needs a Join the Boycott!

LUSH Supports the PLO Because "Israel is the Stronger Party":


According to the manager of LUSH Cosmetics in Brent Cross, London, LUSH supports the PLO since "Israel is the stronger party" [in LUSH's perception] - as if being the stronger party (even if it were true... and it is not) justifies the intentional targeting and killing of Israeli civilians! The same excuse was used by LUSH's PR representative ("the onus must be on the dominant force, Israel"). Right and wrong does not enter into LUSH's "ethical" calculation. LUSH's support of the anti-Israel One World Campaign, which portrays Israel as an "illegal" occupier committing "crimes" against "Palestine" and grossly exagerrates the suffering in Gaza, is unacceptable and JtB urges you not to shop at LUSH. 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 new LUSH store at Brent Cross, London - photo © JtB 12/20/11


Anti-Israel Extremism Rampant on Hostile UC Campuses:

Unrestricted and unpunished anti-Israel anti-semitic extremism aggressively pursued by the Muslim Students Union and other groups is creating an increasingly hostile and intimidating campus environment for students who support Israel. CSUN is hosting the anti-Israel rantings of Professor David Klein on its website and is ignoring demands to remove it. Please write to the CSUN President, Jolene Koesler, at presofc@csun.edu to demand they remove Klein's anti-Israel hatred. see example Those who donate to CSUN please let the University know you will stop your giving. 12/7/11

Hamas Attacks Israel but at the LA Times Israel is the Aggressor:

While Hamas aggressively wages war against Israeli civilians with rockets, their allies at the LA Times are busy, as usual, twisting and distorting reality portraying Israel as the initiator and aggressor - see "Airstrikes and Rockets Kill 10 people in the Gaza Region". This widely reviled newspaper has been waging war against Israel for an entire generation - please call 1-800-252-9141 today and cancel your extremist pro-"Palestine" LA Times and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 10/30/11


"Palestine" = Occupation and Refusal to Compromise:

The UN debate over "Palestine", a name which stands for the Roman occupation of Israel, illustrated Arab intransigence and complete refusal to compromise, and Israel's willingness to make peace. see also JPost But a media allied with the PLO cannot sympathize with Israel and devises headlines to save the PLO. see Telegraph and LA Times. 10/3/11

Turkey - the New Bully on the Block:

Turkey's out-of-control Erdogan is playing out a predetermined bully agenda in manufacturing the crisis with Israel, using Israel's refusal to apologize for last year's flotilla incident as a pretext. Turkey owes Israel an apology for its outrageous flotilla provocation and its refusal to accept the conclusion of the UN's Palmer Report which found Israel's blockade of Gaza legal. Turkey is wrecklessly destabilizing the entire Middle East. 9/16/11


No Change in the BBC's Blatant Anti-Israel Bias:

Click here to see a video of the pro-Israel counter-demonstration at the Royal Albert Hall London on September 1, 2011, in which supporters of Israel far outnumbered the extremists supporting the PLO

The BBC pulled the plug on its radio coverage of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London (9/1/11), when PLO supporters disrupted the performance. Critics have excoriated the BBC for doing so and for ignoring a pro-Israel demonstration outside (see above) which was twice as large as the pro-PLO demonstration Nichola Pearson of the BBC did report. The BBC has rightly been heavily criticized over the years for its ongoing and very blatant pro-PLO bias - photo © JtB 9/5/11


From the LA Times to Norway - Israel's Detractors Pay the Price:

The LA Times building in downtown Los Angeles The LA Times continues its descent into oblivion with as many as 150 new layoffs reportedly on the way. The LA Times has poisoned an entire generation of Southern Californians with its virulent anti-Israel propaganda. In Norway, the population mourns the massacre of some of its best young minds but anti-semitism pervades this nation which has led Europe's anti-Israel turn. 8/1/11


Friends of Israel Protest LUSH and its Anti-Israel Extremism:


Friends of Israel from several groups met in Beverly Hills, CA, to protest LUSH Cosmetics which is spreading extremist anti-Israel propaganda, and to let LUSH know we will not purchase their products. LUSH (found in the UK, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Anaheim, all over the US, and over 40 countries) is taking your money and giving it to support the PLO agenda by promoting the anti-Israel One World Campaign which portrays Israel as an "illegal" occupier committing "crimes" against "Palestine" and grossly exagerrates the suffering in Gaza.

'Occupation' is Just a Distraction:

It's a sad day when a man with the name "MJ Rosenberg" writes one of the most anti-Israel Op-Eds yet seen in the LA Times ('Deligitimization' is Just a Distraction, 7/17/11, p. 24). While he references the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, which designated all of the land West of the Jordan for a Jewish homeland, he castigates Israel for its "occupation" and wants to give 22% of its land to forming a PLO state. He invents facts such as Israeli "settlements" are "illegal under international law". And he sums up the anti-semitic charge against 'the Israel lobby' as "money talks". In fact 'Occupation' is the distraction for the PLO attempt to eliminate Israel to which Rosenberg is oblivious.

Whisky Counter-Boycott of PLO-Supporting West Dunbartonshire:

Outraged at the West Dunbartonshire boycott of Israel? Support the counter-boycott of Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, and Ballantines whisky and write a letter to Chivas Brothers Distillery at media.relations@pernod-ricard.com, and let all your friends know - click on this image for more information   The anti-semitic PLO-terrorist-supporting Council in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, is boycotting Israeli goods. In response, a pro-Israel activist named "Jameel" has formed a counter-boycott of whisky distilleries in West Dunbartonshire which includes Chivas Brothers, makers of Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, and Ballantines. JtB applauds Jameel's efforts and supports the boycott as do many other Friends of Israel around the world, such
as the Kiddush Clubs of America and CFI. Please write to Chivas, a Pernod Ricard Company, at media.relations@pernod-ricard.com to protest the boycott of Israel and CC jointheboycott@inbox.com - boycott details 6/15/11


Genuine Hamas War Criminals Welcome at the LA Times:

The LA Times published an op-ed by Abu Marzook (6/12/11, p. 30), an official of Hamas, a terrorist organization that intentionally targets Israeli civilians and recently fired a rocket at an Israeli schoolbus killing 16-year old Daniel Viflic, Z"L. The LA Times welcomes his anti-Israel diatribe with its litany of accusations and unsubstantiated facts that lack any basis in truth. They did also publish an excellent response to Hamas terrorism by John R. Bolton on the same page (scroll down), but the clear implication is that the opinions of the war criminals of Hamas are within the reasonable bounds of debate! If you are a subscriber you are part of the problem. Please call 1-800-252-9141 today and cancel your extremist anti-Israel LA Times and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 6/13/11

The Missing Ingredient for Peace - Pressure on the Arabs:

The missing ingredient for peace is pressure on the Arabs. Nothing else will bring them to compromise their demands, though they are unlikely to fully accept Israel even then. The problem is the anti-Israel media and Obama, the media's President, are on the Arab side. They are only interested in pressuring Israel. As are the UN, the EU, and other countries, especially the Moslem ones like Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey. That's an ingredient for prolonged conflict. 6/1/11

A RESPONSE TO PLOBAMA (above): Rabbi Richman makes some important points in response to a hypocritical and biased President intent on championing the PLO cause. hat-tip: Rena


PLObama - The President Champions the PLO Cause:

We already knew the media's President was vigorously pursuing a PLO agenda against Israel but until now he has been putting up a pretense of impartiality. Now he has come out and openly called on Israel to move back to 1967 lines (with territory swaps). This is unacceptable to Israel which is furious at his betrayal of all previous American assurances. Please write to the President at president@whitehouse.gov and express your outrage at his betrayal of Israel and CC us at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see example No Friend of Israel should support this most anti-Israel of Presidents. 5/23/11


Goldstone and the LA Times - The Contemptibles:

International revulsion for, and ostracizing of, Judge Richard Goldstone by Friends of Israel for his contemptible anti-Israel Gaza report, has been one of the most appropriate and unifying Community reactions to date. Now that Judge Goldstone is starting to regret the damage he has done to Israel and recant his statements, the anti-semitic and extremist anti-Israel LA Times is in a panic at the prospect of losing one of the biggest sticks it has with which to beat the Jewish State. You can hear the distress in the words of the PLO supporters who wrote the LA Times editorial "Goldstone's Flip-Flop" (4/5/11, p. 14, Nicholas Goldberg is the Editorial Editor), as they struggle to maintain the fiction that Israel's reaction to Hamas "militants" was "disproportionate". They dismiss Israel's right to defend itself, deliberately omitting that the violent terrorist Hamas was the perpetrator of war crimes for intentionally targeting Israeli civilians and doing so using human shields by firing from its own civilians' homes, schools, and hospitals. Israel rightly remains angry with Goldstone who will find his road to redemption is a long one. Subscribers, throw out your contemptible anti-Israel LA Times - call 1-800-252-9141 to cancel and let us know at jointheboycott@inbox.com - see Honor Roll 4/6/11


Boycott the LA Times Website Too:

Every hit on the LA Times website helps generate ad revenues for the paper - see paragraph 13, so boycott the LA Times website too. Articles concerning Israel in most major US and international major media outlets are available at UJF and see Honor Roll. 3/28/11


LA Pays Tribute to the Murdered Fogel Family Members, Z"L:

LA Times Attempts to Justify Barbaric Fogel Murders:

The brutal massacre of five members of the Fogel family, Z"L, gets the usual LA Times terrorist-excusing treatment as "tit-for-tat" violence, sanitizing the "Palestinian militants" monstrous crime as a "brutal tragedy". They continue to advocate their racist PLO philosophy of no-Jews-in-Judea claiming that "settlements...are almost universally acknowledged to violate international law". There is no support for that statement and none is provided. It is the Jewish homeland. That makes them both legal and just. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141 and cancel your anti-Israel LA Times. 3/16/11

PLO Terrorists Brutally Massacred 5 Members of Fogel Family, Z"L:

PLO terrorists brutally massacred five members of the Fogel family, Z"L, in Itamar, in Samaria. This monstrous crime has yet to receive widespread condemnation. CNN uses quotes in calling it a "terror attack" and Israel demands an apology. Unrestricted building in Judea and Samaria is the answer. 3/13/11


A New World of Uncertainty:

The upheavals in Tunisia, Egypt, the rest of the Arab world, and Iran, are creating a new world of uncertainty. Who dares predict what will happen next? How is Obama handling the situation? To comment click here. There is one thing that remains certain - the anti-Israel bias of the media in general (see video below) and the LA Times in particular. Join the Boycott. 2/22/11


Anti-Israel Fanatic Speaks for the LA Times:

The "Palileaks" episode has become another media opportunity for a wave of anti-Israel propaganda. In the LA Times, anti-Israel fanatic Saree Makdisi demands the removal of Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria from the Arab-only state he seeks, while insinuating that Israel is racist! see "A Great Betrayal" (1/27/11, p. 19), And the paper finds fresh ammunition for its view that Israel is the obstacle to peace. see "Israel's Lost Weekend" (1/25/11, p. 12).

National Geographic - More False Advertising Omitting Israel:

Now it is the UK version of National Geographic Traveler Magazine omitting Israel from its advertising literature and calling it "Palestine" instead. Outraged friends of Israel are writing to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority demanding action to correct the ad. Click here to register your complaint. JtB advises subscribers to cancel their National Geographic Magazine. If you get a solicitation envelope from National Geographic please send it back without a stamp and empty or with a suitable comment inside (and out). 1/14/11
