Boycott Israel
This was in The Daily Sport on October 21, 2006 - British version of The
New York Post
The View from Here
If you're going to boycott Israel - do it properly!
"OK. So I understand that you are ticked off at Israel, and in love
with the Palestinians. That's fine with me, as long as you have truly
weighed up all the facts.
So, you want to boycott Israel? I'll be sorry to miss you, but if
you are doing it - do it properly. Let me help you.
Check all your medications. Make sure that you do not have tablets,
drops, lotions, etc., made by Abic or Teva. It may mean that you will suffer
from colds and flu this winter but, hey, that's a small price for you to pay
in your campaign against Israel, isn't it?
While we are on the subject of your Israeli boycott, and the medical
contributions to the world made by Israeli doctors and scientists, how about
telling your pals to boycott the following.....
An Israeli company has developed a simple blood test that
distinguishes between mild and more severe cases of Multiple Sclerosis. So,
if you know anyone suffering from MS, tell them to ignore the Israeli patent
that may, more accurately, diagnose their symptoms.
An Israeli-made device helps restore the use of paralyzed hands. This
device electrically stimulates the hand muscles, providing hope to millions
of stroke sufferers and victims of spinal injuries. If you wish to remove
this hope of a better quality of life to these people, go ahead and boycott
Israel.
Young children with breathing problems will soon be sleeping more
soundly, thanks to a new Israeli device called the Child Hood. This
innovation replaces the inhalation mask with an improved drug delivery
system that provides relief for child and parent. Please tell anxious
mothers that they shouldn't use this device because of your passionate
cause.
These are just a few examples of how people have benefited medically
from the Israeli know-how you wish to block. Boycotts often affect research.
A new research center in Israel hopes to throw light on brain disorders such
as depression and Alzheimer's disease. The Joseph Sangol Neuroscience
Center in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer Hospital, aims to bring
thousands of scientists and doctors to focus on brain research.
A researcher at Israel's Ben Gurion University has succeeded in
creating human monoclonal antibodies which can neutralize the highly
contagious smallpox virus without inducing the dangerous side effects of the
existing vaccine.
Two Israelis received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Doctors
Ciechanover and Hershko's research and discovery of one of the human cells
most important cyclical processes will lead the way to DNA repair, control
of newly produced proteins, and immune defense systems.
The Movement Disorder Surgery program at Israel's Hadassah Medical
Center has successfully eliminated the physical manifestations of
Parkinson's disease in a select group of patients with a deep brain
stimulation technique. For women who undergo hysterectomies each year for
the treatment of uterine fibroids, the development in Israel of the Ex
Ablate 2000 System is a welcome breakthrough, offering a noninvasive
alternative to surgery.
Israel is developing a nose drop that will provide a five year flu
vaccine. These are just a few of the projects that you can help stop with
your Israeli boycott.
But let's not get too obsessed with my ducal research, there are other
ways you can make a personal sacrifice with your anti-Israel boycott. Most
of Windows operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel. So, set a
personal example. Throw away your computer!
Computers should have a sign attached saying Israel Inside. The
Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel. Both the
Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrum processor were entirely designed,
developed, and produced in Israel.
Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. The technology for the AOL
Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by four young Israeli
whiz kids.
Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R. & D. facilities outside
the US in Israel. So, due to your complete boycott of anything Israeli, you
now have poor health and no computer. But your bad news does not end there.
Get rid of your cellular phone.
Cell phone technology was also developed in Israel by MOTOROLA which has its
biggest development center in Israel. Most of the latest technology in your
mobile phone was developed by Israeli scientists.
Feeling unsettled? You should be. Part of your personal security rests
with Israeli inventiveness, borne out of our urgent necessity to protect and
defend our lives from the terrorists you support.
A phone can remotely activate a bomb, or be used for tactical
communications by terrorists, bank robbers, or hostage-takers. It is vital
that official security and law enforcement authorities have access to
cellular jamming and detection solutions. Enter Israel's Net line
Communications Technologies with their security expertise to help the fight
against terror.
SO ALL THE NOISE ABOUT THE USA LISTENING TO OUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE CALLS, YOU
SHOULD KNOW IT IS ISRAEL WHO IS DOING THE LISTENING FOR US.
A joint, nonprofit, venture between Israel and Maryland will result in
a 5 day Business Development and Planning Conference next March. Elected
Israeli companies will partner with Maryland firms to provide innovation to
the US need for homeland security.
I also want you to know that Israel has the highest ratio of university
degrees to the population in the world. Israel produces more scientific
papers per capita - 109 per 10,000 - than any other nation. Israel has the
highest number of startup companies per rata. In absolute terms, the highest
number, except the US. Israel has ratio of patents filed. Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies
outside of Silicon Valley. Israel is ranked 2 in the world for venture
capital funds, behind the USA. Israel has more museums per capita. Israel
has the second highest publication of new books per capita.
Relative to population, Israel is the largest immigrant absorbing
nation on earth. These immigrants come in search of democracy, religious
freedom or _expression, economic opportunity, and quality of life.
Believe it or not, Israel is the only country in the world which had a
net gain in the number of trees last year. Even Warren Buffet of
Berkshire-Hathaway fame has just invested millions with Israeli Companies.
So, you can vilify and demonize the State of Israel. You can continue
your silly boycott, if you wish. But I wish you would consider the
consequences, and the truth.
Think of the massive contribution that Israel is giving to the world,
including the Palestinians - and to you - in science, medicine,
Communications, security. Pro rata for population we are making a greater
contribution than any other nation on earth.
We can't be all bad....."
My comment: So what have the Muslim nations contributed to the world?
