Notable supporters of the Goycott include Noam "I hate myself for being Jewish" Chomsky, racist Green Party idiot Cynthia McKinney, Rashid Khalidi, Howard Zinn, and former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. With support like that it is no wonder the Ignorant Students for Hating Jews at Hampshire are feeling so proud of themselves.
Now that these morons have accomplished their goal, much to the glee of members of the faculty (Chomskyites, self-proclaimed anarchists, and liberal lobotomy victims comprise much of the faculty at Pampshire...most of whom no doubt jizzed buckets when Pampers "won" the election), the first college to actually commit to such a divestment, they are calling on other colleges to follow suit.
See, here's the thing kids. What you morons don't know is that Pampshire's endowment is one of the smallest in the country. The amount of money it invests in those companies is small potatoes and will not be missed by those companies, or Israel for that matter. Your insignificantly puny school is also part of a consortium of colleges in the area that I suspect will not be divesting from Israel as they are not so prone to ignorance and liberal judeophobia as Hampshire. Here's another newsflash: you kids are nothing but a bunch of fucking hypocrite douchebags. I guess urging your school to divest from companies dealing with genocidal governments like Sudan, or brutal dictatorships like North Korea was never on the table because they aren't Jewish states. Thank you for so admirably demonstrating liberal judeophobia and liberal hypocrisy. You are a model of what every American should not want to be. Dershowitz quotes Tom Friedman in his column. I think it's worth reproducing here:
"Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vial. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanctions - out of proportion to any other party in the Middle East - is anti-Semitic and not saying so is dishonest."
My suggestion to the racists at Hampshire is this: go back to your dorms, whip out your bongs, and go back to sleep. When you wake up the cause du jour will be saving the Texas Prairie Chicken.
Though Dershowitz's concern over whether this will spark a wave of divestment is valid, I suspect that this will be much ado about nothing. I do encourage the Jewish students of Hampshire, and the other colleges of the consortium, to stand up to these racists.
Here's an instructional video to help you identify more companies and products to boycott. When you give up your computers then we'll see how dedicated you Hampshire pricks really are.
Don't ally yourselves with idiots. Do not support Hampshire College. In fact, here's the email address of the organization that pushed for "divestment." Why not email them, give them a piece of your mind, and send along a link to the above video. I did. And it felt really good.

In other news, it looks like a French and British submarine accidently collided. Humans are so fucking smart. They've made underwater death ships so effectively hidden from sonar that they can't see each other anymore. Maybe that's what Gandhi meant when he said an eye for an eye makes the whole world stupid. Luckily, there were no fatalities or radiation leaks, at least none that the British and French governments are willing to report. I suspect that people are now talking about the fact that allied nations should have some kind of transponder system so they can detect each other and avoid collisions while remaining hidden from their enemies like the Russians, and the Walrus. Nah, they're probably talking about intalling bumpers and airbags.

The children of Hampshire College are just that. They are being ued as fodder by the likes of Chomsky and Roger Waters(!!??). Its stupidity, peer pressure, and misguided dogoodiness, they same forces that brought us oblabla. I remember students being paid back in college to work against certain propositions without truly understanding why- that was rarely explained to them and you couldn't get a straight answer. College students seem to be a cash crop for idealogues.

Speaking of contemporary anti-semitism, check out this douche-blog:

He approvingly posts late 19th - early 20th century political cartoons of bankers known as "IKEY-MOSE" with the statement, "The humor in these panels has not dated -- in fact, it seems very, very relevant," and the commentors chime in with some Israel-bashing. WTF!!!!???

FT; Joseph Cannon revealed himself as a Jew hating asshole during Operation Cast Lead. He is an ignorant bigot. Alas, there seems to be no shortage of his ilk in the blogosphere and the world at large. Hence the world being such a fucked up place.
damn ... even fish manage not to bump into each other underwater
and we never DID get to see the film of bo toasting khalidi did we??
Chomsky must be suffering from advanced dementia by this point .. I am not kidding ...
It is disappointing that your politics are so whitewashed by nationalism that you see it fit to reduce a colonial occupation to a simple matter of "Jews vs. Palestinians."
It is equally disappointing that your entire argument is based on the members of SJP either hating Jews or hating themselves as Jews. Such a woefully simplistic and intellectually bankrupt argument will forever place you on the margins of legitimate public debate on this issue and make you an embarrassment in the eyes of history when world opinion comes around, just as it did with South Africa divestment.
Then, will you merely hold up your hands and say you were a "victim of the times?" Who knows. Until then, the kind & generous members of the Hampshire community who are campaigning not for themselves but for human rights will continue doing their hard work, while you sit in your armchair and fume at the world outside of your belligerent virtual enclave.
Peace be with you.
Anonymous, you have no idea what efforts I am involved in to insure the support of the human rights of both Israelis and Palestinians so please go fuck yourself.
To single out Israel when there are nations engaged in far more brutal tactics, human rights violations, and do in fact engage in genocide, which Israel does not by any definition, is an act of Judeophobia, period. Only a judeophobe would disagree.
The students at Hampshire involved in this insipid campaign are not generous. They are ignorant. What is their stance on the human rights violations against Israelis, and the persistent violations of international law by Hamas? Nowhere. The only conclusion that can be made is the racists at Hampshire do not care about the rights of Israelis, which I will assume you do not either. Is this because they are not human? Are Israelis not endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights? If the students at Hampshire were not racist jew haters I would expect that their statement would have been a bit more universal, demanding that the human rights of Jews and Arabs be upheld, which is the stance of this blog. But alas, this is not the case.
Colonial occupation? That comment is so rooted in ignorance I will not dignify it with comment. The legal status of the territories is "disputed." Israel gains no advantage from the status quo. I suspect that if the world community had a vested interest in removing the terror kleptocracies entrenched in the West Bank and Gaza, peace would be a matter of course. But since the UN couldn't give a fuck about the rights of Israelis, that isn't going to happen anytime soon, which means there won't be peace anytime soon as Israel is not going to sit down for legitimate negotiations with parties that are dedicated to her destruction.
Some of us care about both sides of the fence. And I will stand against anyone, or any organization whose actions demonstrate that they do not.

This particular blog entry shocked me because it seems a mix of depression-era Jewish Banker hatred with the standard Chomskyist Israel bashing. "Very relevant" indeed!

That "how to boycott Israel" video is brilliant! Thanks for finding it.
Shtuey, did you see the post I did on "queers for Palestine"? These idiots are so brain dead they want to aid the people who have a habit of throwing people like them off of rooftops rather than the one country in the middle east where gay people can live without fear of execution for who they are. Most people really are incredibly stupid.
Gary, great post. Visiting your blog I realized how much catching up I have to do. Working on a tan, and $10/hour internet means no time for cyberspace.
I'm amazed that most people have the brain capacity to perform even the simplest survival and involuntary nerve functions. Queers for Palestine pushes the envelope of stupid.
hey shtuey,
i've been a bit out of it, mostly surviving and ranting on fb. it was my niece's birthday, the divine and precious college student for whom i have complete admiration. what to buy for the girl who has everything? i ordered, direct from a jerusalem artiste, a handmade amulet ( good luck charm, really) in the hopes that it would serve a fashion purpose and at the same time, reminder her of her roots. i feel that it's incumbent upon all of us to REMIND other jews who the hell we are, and how the hell we got here...so that we're ready for the bold faced killas.
great job as always.:)
