San Francisco Green Party Joins Worldwide Israel Boycott
On June 1, 2010, the San Francisco Green Party announced its joining the worldwide Israel boycott movement, with the following statement on its web site:
http://www.sfgreenparty.org/news/newsitem-start.psp?idx=1762
Resolved by the San Francisco Green Party:
Because all other nonviolent and diplomatic means of resolving the crisis in Palestine/Israel have consistently failed for over four decades, the San Francisco Green Party sees a worldwide boycott and divestment of Israel as the only remaining viable option to bringing an end to the crisis.
Therefore the San Francisco Green Party is now actively engaging in a full boycott of all purchases of products and services, the financial gains of which will accrue to any individual or entity within Israel, until Israel is in compliance with all United Nations-recognized international laws; all resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council; and, all decisions and directions by all United Nations-recognized international courts, regardless of Israel's participation in or ratification of such courts.
The San Francisco Green Party calls upon all of its members, and all San Francisco residents, businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and political parties to join in the worldwide boycott and divestment of Israel.
The San Francisco Green Party calls upon the City and County of San Francisco, by action of its Board of Supervisors and Mayor, to likewise engage in a full boycott and divestment of Israel.
The San Francisco Green Party also calls upon the United States government to immediately cease all civilian economic and material support to Israel until Israel complies with all international laws, resolutions,and court decisions.
Finally, the San Francisco Green Party demands that the United States government immediately and permanently cease all funding and material support to the Israel military.

Yeah, that worked out really well for Rainbow Grocery, didn't it.
Some thugs who follow around in the wake of the destructive Jewish Community Relations Council, which follows AIPAC (a lobbying arm of the Israeli government), threatened to bomb Rainbow Grocery and poison the food, when they were considering a boycott of Israel products.
No wonder the store backed down.
Anyone who tries to struggle against Israeli brutality gets death threats or is put into their blacklist.
This mirrors the thuggish nature of the Israeli-military government which wants to appropriate all Palestinian lands - a land grab.
Opponents of this are called a "anti-Israel", "Israel haters", "anti-Semitic", or a "self-hating Jew", "supporting terrorism".
These folk who try to suppress any criticism of Israel are not friends of Israel. You have to tell your friend to stop his/her thuggish, destructive behavior, or they will meet with the consequences.
These "friends" are setting the stage for more violence against Israel, blood on its hands, destruction of the justice tradition and morale of
the Jews, isolation of Israel, and world wide growth of anti-Semitism.
The true friends and pro-Israelis are those who are also pro-Palestinian, are those who tell Israel to withdraw their illegal and immoral occupation of Palestinian lands and stop the siege of Gaza, which is depriving the Gazans of food, water, electricity, homes, and freedom, and their lives.
