Israel Attack Humanitarian Ship, 10 men killed

[trileacman]

Well we could start by kicking out the Israeli ambassador and then boycott Israeli products in our shops and supermarkets.
Small gesture but would be reported around the world and may encourage other nations to follow suit, from small acorns grow big oak trees.
I for one have stopped buying Israeli produce.

Like what? I wouldn't think there is much isreali produce in irish markets? Maybe there is but I'm trying to think of possibles but nothing comes up.

And how would you know it was Isreali produce? Lots of supermarkets don't mark were they get their produce from or rebrand it from the country it was processed/packaged in.

GDA is a real hero I think, that will show em

You sit on your hands then, and where did I say I was being a "real hero".
My actions although small are something, and if more people do like wise then the effects will have more impact, as for Israeli produce, you'll find that a fair bit of your fruit and veg section will have originated in Israel.

Never will another Israeli pastie bap touch my lips.

Kosher pastie baps, now that's a novel idea.

"If you're not in the habit of checking the country of origin on fruit and vegetables to minimise food miles, you may not have noticed just how much Israeli produce is in our shops and supermarkets. At the moment, there are piles of new potatoes (though it's hard to see why anyone with a scrap of environmental awareness would buy these when our indigenous main crop spuds are still firm and abundant), and that's just for starters.

If you go out today and buy avocadoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, Medjoul dates, sharon fruit (persimmons), chillies, oranges, pomegranates, grapefruit or fresh herbs, it's extremely likely that they will be Israeli. Most of this produce carries country of origin labelling or is branded as Carmel, Bio-Top or Jaffa. In the herb category, there's room - intentional or otherwise - for confusion. Increasingly your dill, tarragon or basil may be labelled as 'West Bank'. This is not a Palestinian alternative to the Israeli option; it comes from Israeli settlements in Palestine's occupied territories.

Israel's agricultural exporting company, Carmel Agrexco, is one of the biggest suppliers of fresh produce to the UK. As the company puts it:

Israel's sunny climate enables Agrexco to tap the resources of its Carmel growers most of the annum. By lining up other complementary supply sources – such as fruit, vegetable and root crop growers located in countries in the Mediterranean basin, South America, and Africa – the Carmel label is available year-round

An expert in air-freighting with a base near Heathrow, Agrexco supplies the UK with everything from sweetcorn, rocket and radishes through to melons, strawberries and kumquats, so delivering the 'permanent global summertime' of horticultural produce that food retailers have educated consumers to expect."

So all I have to do to defeat the isreali's is not eat all this and scoff a few more big mac's and some cheesy chicken curry butties!! Sign me up! 

Seriously though GDA I didnt know all this would be of isreali origin. must look it up next time I'm in the shops. Cant say I'll ne joining you on your dietary crusade though, haven't the time to check the labelling on every food item I lift.

[Doogie Browser]

It is a fact as GDA pointed out that a lot of our fruit and veg in Tesco/ASDA etc is Origin of Israel, shipped over here and packed by local suppliers.

See The Pixies have cancelled a gig in Tel Aviv next week in protest at the apartheid regime's murder tactics ... more of the same needed

I thought the idea was to punish them, not reward them.

You're absolutely right ... so when are you flying out to Tel Aviv, arsehole?

I say storm the embassy shooting and when he grabs the closest object to him to defend himself put a bullet in his head and claim we've a right to defend Ireland.

The ambassador would die laughing when he saw a Mr Blobby lookalike struggling to make it up the steps.

[muppet]

The obvious thing is to blockade the embassy. Also we need to knock all the buildings and include cement as part of the blockade so they can't rebuild it. Anyone who tries to give them supplies should be labelled activists and deported.

It's a wonder you haven't called him out for a fight with no witnesses         

[Down South]

At least he would have the balls to defend himslef, not like a certain lardy arse from Silverbridge.
