***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
Daly / Mc Namee Cumann call for Boycott of Israeli Goods.
West Belfast based Daly/McNamee Cumann of the IRSP have today called for the people of West Belfast to join with them in the boycotting of Israeli goods it has emerged.
IRSP spokesperson for the area, Charlie Clarke, has today called for an immediate boycott of products from Israel in response to the ongoing illegal war against the working classes of Lebanon.
“The Daly / Mc Namee cumann of the IRSP call for the immediate boycotting of Israeli products as a response to the murderous war being waged against the innocent working classes of Lebanon by the terrorist state of Israel” Mr. Clarke stated.
“We call upon all the residents and local businesses of West Belfast to join with us in this boycott of Israeli sourced products. The sickening images portrayed around the world of this illegal war and the devastation and death that this has brought to the thousands of innocent civilians of Lebanon should not go unchallenged. The decent people of West Belfast have witnessed first hand for thirty-seven years the death and destruction that these war mongering nations can bring upon a country, and should not tolerate this injustice against the Lebanese people.”
He went on to add, “People must see this war for what it is. It is an American / Israeli orchestrated campaign of terror against an innocent people. The Hezbollah are a democratically elected organisation representative of the oppressed people of Lebanon with MP’s and Cabinet ministers. They attacked a military target in response to the ongoing kidnappings of Palestinian citizens from their beds by the Israeli government and their military special forces. The disproportionate response from Israel in the targeting of the civilian populations of Lebanese towns and villages in relentless air raids and land assaults must be condemned without reservation. The people of West Belfast must join with us in this condemnation and show the world that we will not tolerate this state terrorism by boycotting Israeli products. The IRSP support unequivocally the working class people of Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon in their struggle against alien occupation.”

Please tell the IRSP to google "Hezbollah" and they might have an inkling of what is going on over there.

The whole world may sanction Israel after their next move -- taking delivery of cluster munitions from the U.S. so the impact of each explosion will kill more people.

I don't drink but I think I will go out and purchase a bottle of Maneschevitz wine.
While Israel is using methods I find abhorant I still support the right of Israel to exist and to defend itself.

in response to the ongoing illegal war against the working classes of Lebanon.
I'm at a loss to explain how this could be viewed as a war against the working class. If anything, the IRSP is exploiting the suffering of the Lebanese to get a little name recognition.

Oh Puhleeeeeaze, Deepest Radical, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in years. Here we have an Irishman from Belfast talking about the slaughter of innocent people. Is this insanely ironic, or is it just me? In short, his plea is shit. Unbelievable, unremarkable shit. Now I'm no warmonger, but I'm also not some grungy wannabe peacenik searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke. Realism isn't a pervasive element in today's modern America, and while you may disagree with this notion, it's a sad fact. The criminals are now "legitimately elected" and the US is an exporter of terrorism. Fucking UNBELIEVEABLE.
Now, do us all a favor and crawl back underneath the same rock from which you came, and leave the politicking to people who actually know what needs to be done.

Don't.
Kosher wine is made from Concord grapes, has the consistency of thin pancake syrup, and tastes like shit. Do yourself a favor and save your 5 dollars.
If you wanna buy something Israeli, then pick up a Desert Eagle .50 caliber semi-auto. There's nothing cooler than a gas-chambered handgun. Although it's slightly maintenance intensive, it really is a beautifully made piece. ;)

You should have reversed the order of these claims so this latest one would have had more impact.

??
Why would you want to contribute ANYTHING toward a regime that (you and I both would agree) is using methods that are abhorrent.......??!?!
I support Israels "right to defend itself" 100%..........but Israel does not simply respond when attacked. It INSTIGATES attacks thru its relentless practice of apartheid and the unrelenting and violent subjugation of those (such as the Palestinians) it seeks to terminate.
Israel has a very clear agenda; the elimination of the Arab people from Palestine....and they instigate conflicts so they can use their massive (US taxpayer supplied and funded) military might to kill large numbers of them.

While I( think some of Israel's methods are abhorant I don't think Israel is abhorant. I wish Israel had never been created, especially where it is and in the manner in which it was created but now that it is here I fully support its right to defend itself. My anger is not with Israel per se but with Israel's treatment of Palestinians and Arabs living within her borders. My anger is also with the indiscriminate manner in which Israel is conducting the present war. That does not mean I don't support Israel's right to exist.

Israel is more than its treatment of Palestinians or its methods of prosecuting a war. It is a Christian concept which you might perhaps not be familiar with, "Hate the sin but love the sinner."

I would leave that to God, to love them. I don't believe in "hate", but then I don't "love" them either. And I won't buy any Israelite product.
I still feel sorry for those poor souls that died in the hands of the Nazis over 60 years ago, though this is a new breed who don't know anything about the "Holocaust", all they know is what they have been told, and don't know that what they are doing is no different. Defend yourself, "yes", but stepping on people as one would step on a bug is just out of proportion. They have to find a solution to the problem, and why not deal with the proposition handed by Saudi Arabia. Israel could reach agreements with the Arabs without the presence of US, I believe US always wants a war, to sell it's weapons production.

Because I find the notion of "sin" despicable.
It is rooted in nothing but ignorance and superstition.

If Israel's response is "out of proportion", wouldn't Hezbollah have annialated on the first day? Should they be doing less if this much isn't working?

No...how would Israel have accomplished that feat of arms?
Should they be doing less if this much isn't working?
Are you suggesting that Israel's right to self defense overrides any other consideration?

Can any person here parse that bit of gibberish......?!?!?
I cannot.
.........""wouldn't Hezbollah have annialated on the first day? Should they be doing less if this much isn't working?"".......
What do those words mean?? What is the meaning or definition of the word **annialated**.........??
What thought are those words possibly attempting to convey?!?!?!?!
Anyone???

I used to have long talks about "religion", with people very immersed in these matters, and one of what I would call their teachings (because I learned from them), was that the meaning of the word "sin" is just "mistake", we all make mistakes, but religious people have given "sin" an over sized connotation.

Heh...that would mean Christians being born is a mistake because of original sin...

I am just giving the meaning of the word "sin". And I don't believe in any thing like an original "sin". This is just a "legend", like many things in this book called Bible. A mixture of probable true facts adorned with legends and fairy tales.

Red;
Do you know what the primary 'goods' are that Israel would ship to Ireland?
What about to the US?
