		<description>That was painful. Strictly from Lamesville. Is this Jewish Humo(u)r Today!?</description>

		<description>Wow, that was crass and stupid.  I was also appalled by the bigotry in some of the other &#039;skits&#039; they&#039;ve done.  Why does YouTube/Google permit this tripe, yet somehow find Blumenthal&#039;s straightforward and honest video offensive enough to pull down??</description>

		<description>When it comes to boycotts, no company deserves it more than chip maker Intel. 
I just read this weekend that Intel has 6500 employees in Israel. This is a curious bit of information because Israel is a comparatively high cost place to do business. It would have been much cheaper for Intel to do both its research and manufacturing in either China or India, where  there is easily enough engineering talent and sheer brainpower to make the chips but at a far lower cost.

Instead, Intel&#039;s decision to locate its factory in Israel must have been based almost entirely on non-economic concerns. This means of course that Intel is subsidizing its Israeli operations at the expense of both its American stockholders and potential American employees.

Consider the fact that these 6500 employees are employed in a country with a population of just 7.3 million,which is less than three percent of the population of the USA, and you get an idea of just how big this subsidy is. (By comparison, Intel employs 48,000 people in the USA). Next time someone is driving around Silicon Valley and comes upon any of the many ex-Intel employees there who or either unemployed or underemployed making lattes at the local Starbucks, you might stop and tell them where a sizable number of their jobs seem to have disappeared to to. Not some third world country with very low wage rates, but to Israel, a country with one of the highest standards of living in the world. I think they will be standing there with their mouths&#039; wide open when this bit of information finally sinks in.

The fact that Israel is even more notorious than China for outright technology theft is another reason to question the &quot;curious&quot; rationale behind Intel&#039;s decision to locate their very expensive (multi billion dollar) chip foundries there.</description>

		<description>So while you were right on the second count, yonira, you were wrong on the first. Funny how Rahmmy boy couldn&#039;t be bothered to show true patriotism and volunteer for &lt;i&gt;our&lt;/i&gt; army while we were in a time of war, huh. No, instead he abandoned us for Israel. I take some consolation that you might do that some day, yonira.</description>

		<description>So you&#039;re saying that Israel&#039;s corruption and injustice is on par with Iran&#039;s, yonira? Really now. Maybe you&#039;re starting to talk sense.</description>

		<description>Rahm served as a civilian on an Israeli military base during the Gulf War, while he was a US citizen. 

However, that hasn&#039;t stopped him or others from bragging that he did serve in the IDF.</description>

		<description>Hey douchebag, you realize that your &quot;why not just leave America&quot; line could be use against any dissident?

Like, people who worked in the civil rights movement. Or people who stood up to fascism in Germany.

You are such a troglodyte piece of garbage. Zionism empowers total losers. Not just that! But Jews who were probably picked on in high school. 

This comment of yours and your smug remark about how the Palestinians are essentially inferior and not globalized (shallow, they could be doing anything but their society is constantly fragmented and progress is suppressed by a far logistically stronger force).

Oh and BDS may not work. You said it wouldn&#039;t in another thread. But that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not the morally right thing to do.

If the roles were reversed and Jews were being attacked and were the victims and not Palestinians - BDS would work because the Arab world is ruled by corrupt family dictatorship and they wouldn&#039;t be able to oppress any status quo entity (the Juice).

So let&#039;s get it right - if it doesn&#039;t work it&#039;s not that it didn&#039;t have the moral legs to keep going. It&#039;s that people have been inundated w/ the most vile racist and bigoted imagery of Arabs - mostly by Jewish intellectuals and European society on a whole.

Jewish identity is too taboo to touch in Western society.

People feel guilt, intimidation, etc. in speaking out against &#039;the Jewish State&#039; because of the Jewish part.

And compounded upon all this is that it&#039;s part of our Establishment. Too much is counting against the Palestinians.

The intellectual cowardice and laziness of most Americans will do in any population on this planet who is not favored by the Establishment.

And yet - you&#039;re not going to win, Zionist.

Because the most extreme pressure points will eventually be reached. There will be one State eventually because the Palestinians will not surrender.

These backwards, inferior , primitive, people - certainly not &#039;chosen&#039; and certainly not a people who have suffered like &#039;the Juice&#039; - are going to beat you and the rest of the Jewish fascist scum out there SIMPLY by surviving.</description>
