SEE UNDER "QUOTATION OF THE DECADE?" FOR CHURCHILL'S DESCRIPTION OF ISLAM
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." ~~ Sir Winston Churchill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and should, do for themselves. ~~ Abraham Lincoln ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Power and deceit are tools of statecraft, yes. But remember that power deludes the ones who wield it--making them believe it can overcome the defects of their ignorance. --Count Flambert Mutelli, early speech in Landsraad Hall of Oratory.

A few e-mails and phone calls made. Instead of caving into the BS BDS movements demand that Sabra quit supporting the IDF and specifically their "adoption" of the Golani Reconnaissance platoon, Sabra did an about-face and is not only continuing support of the IDF, but is redoubling its efforts of support.
In order to encourage more companies to follow Sabra's example, it is now asked by everyone to BUYCOTT Sabra. That is right. Go out and buy Sabra Hummas. Show not only the BDS idiots, but the world that you will take a stand with your wallet. Plus it really is the best hummas on the market.
While we are on the subject of BUYCOTT, it is the holiday season. The time of gift giving. The time of pampering yourself and others. Think about putting some Ahava products on your shopping list. With holiday specials and gift sets, you are sure to find a product for everyone on your list. And they make great stocking stuffers.
Ahava products are made exclusively from Dead Sea Minerals. The very same minerals that history says Cleopatra used to snag both Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony.
This holiday season BUYCOTT Israel! Go out of your way to do it too. And remember to let the store's management of why you are doing this.

That is correct. Buycott. It started in April with the call to boycott Israeli wines for Passover. A boycott that not only fell flat, but backfired upon the organizers as seen by the pictures here (hat tip to Israel Matzav). For every time that a call to boycott Israel came alive in Canada, the community was notified, and they came out to buy Israeli products.
It has spread from Canada to the US when there was a boycott of Ahava products called from the idiots whores of Code Pink. That has failed.
Yes. The tactic of boycotting Israeli Products is working well in Canad and the United States.
Another anti-Zionist attempted boycott in Canada has backfired, with Israeli products enjoying sales rates much higher than usual.
Anti-Israel groups had threatened MEC – Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op - with a boycott because of its inclusion of Israeli products in its inventory. But barely anyone showed up for the boycott, and instead, large crowds of Israel supporters came to buy Israeli products.
The Canada Jewish Tribune reports that several MEC stores across Canada experienced unusually high sales for its Israeli products on Sunday of last week. Shelves with Israeli-made products – numerous styles of seamless underwear and hydration systems products – had to be re-stocked a couple of times each day.
What had been planned as giant demonstrations against Israel in Toronto and Vancouver resulted in tiny-to-small groups of protestors who were dwarfed by crowds of Zionists purchasing Israeli items. B’nai Brith and the Canada-Israel Committee joined forces to organize a “buy-cott” in response to the boycott.
Salomon Rayek of B’nai Brith Canada in Vancouver reported total success, saying that only three anti-Israel demonstrators showed up at the MEC store in Calgary on Saturday, while the next day, “a large number of Jews and Israel’s supporters showed up at the stores and spent a good chunk of money buying Israeli products... I understand that in Toronto about 20 protesters showed up to protest, and on the next day there was a very large Jewish and pro-Israel presence [coming] to buy Israeli goods."
Shades of April 2009
The story appears to be a repeat of what occurred in April of this year at a Toronto liquor store.
After a Jewish non-Zionist group tried to organize an anti-Israel protest in front of the store, asking Passover celebrants to mark their holiday without Israeli-made wines, hundreds of pro-Israeli consumers took the opportunity to hold a pro-Israel festival and bought up the store’s entire stock of Israeli wine.
Brands such as Carmel, Barkan, Golan Heights, Gush Etzion (Efrat), Binyamina, Baron, Segal Dalton and others were sold out within a matter of hours.
What started as a way to counter the anti-Semantic idea of boycotting Israeli wines, is turning into a movement to counter the hate.
BUYCOTT ISRAEL!
