You know what, Mr. Bunz?

I can't afford to get an MRI

If I had cancer, I'd either cure it by alternative means, or get skinny and die, because I can't afford the treatment.

The chips in my computer...well I waste too much time on it as it is.

My goal in life is to get a plot of land and a donkey, so I can be happy. I'm not kidding!

What I don't understand is why we can't have Israeli medical technology AND a viable Palestinian state. Please tell me, what is wrong with the 1967 borders? I would support guarantees by the US of Israeli security if Israel returned to the 67 lines.

That's fair. It would be more fair if Palestinians were granted the right of return, but you know what? I can let that go. The rest of the Palestinians, including Hamas, have let that go. Let us concede the right of return.

Why won't Israel return to the 1967 borders? They seem willing to give up the Golan, and they did leave Gaza. What's up with the settlements in the West Bank?

Mr. Bunz, you have the right to your opinion, and I support the fact that you have a different view on things than I do. Right now, I'm hoping you can shed some light on the Israeli mindset, so I can understand what's wrong with a return to the 1967 lines.

THIS IS WHAT OUR US TAX DOLLARS ARE PAYING ISRAEL TO DO.
What if these were your children?

SANCTION,DIVEST,BOYCOTT!That is ALL Israel deserves right now.

While you are doing your boycott, make sure not to get an MRI, they are invented and made in Haifa but help cure people all over the world.

Forget about all the cancer medicines created in Israel, just go ahead and die, we won't miss you.

Don't use a computer, the Intel chips are made in Israel. Just get a plot of land and a donkey and be happy.

Here's a list, by no means complete, of companies with Zionist connections:

As you can see, a boycott of Israel is a difficult proposition, unless one were to live in the country and produce almost everything one needed for oneself.

That's a laudable goal, and one I try to pursue, but it won't impact the current situation.

Perhaps a better way to boycott Israel, is to boycott consumerism as a lifestyle.

1.Remove all one's money from the bank and convert it to gold and/or silver.
2.Change one's employment to "self".
3. Discover ways of creating local economic activity with people you know, through barter, cash exchanges, etc.
4. Reduce one's consumption of processed products- everything from TV programming to soft drinks. Use staples and make things from scratch. Play a board game instead of shoving a DVD into the box. Make your own clothes, fix your own car, etc.

If everyone stops spending, heck, if everyone cuts their spending by just 20%, Israel will collapse. They can't kill every Palestinian. As long as one Hamas fighter crawls from the wreckage and shakes his fist at Israel, Israel is defeated.

If you follow the steps above, you will not only help bring Israel to reason, you will save yourself and your family in the bargain, because you will be more psychologically resilient and more physically equipped to weather the economic firestorm that is about to destroy the US.
