In a rare example of non-discrimination, Jewish people who are entitled under the Law of Return to enter Israel, will also be banned.  So it will officially become a State of Jewish racists and fascists.

It
may, at first superficial sight, seem right that people who want to boycott a
state should not visit it.  However
people boycott a state not out of some primeval desire to cut it off from
civilisation but because they wish the state to change, to become better, to become non-racist or non-Zionist.  It makes sense
then for people who support Boycott to engage with people in Israel who also
support these aims.

We
should also bear in mind that even South Africa didn’t introduce legislation that
barred people from its shores simply because they had advocated BDS.  What this means in reality is that people
entering Israel will now be scrutinised as to what they believe.  Your entry will be dependent on your beliefs,
surely a first in the world but of course not incompatible with Israel’s status
as ‘the only democracy in the Middle East’. 
You can now believe in anything you want just as long as those running
the Israeli state agrees with you.

This is another Bill from the openly racist, semi-fascist Jewish settlers’ party, HaBayit HeYehudi (Jewish Home).  There was a time when a party like Jewish Home would have been confined to the margins of Israeli society, now its Ministers hold the Justice, Education and deputy Defence Minister positions.

However, lest some people carp about the ‘only democracy in the Middle East’s” right to ban supporters of BDS, it is only fair to point out that Israel is being consistent.  

In the 1930’s the Zionist movement fought tooth and nail against the Jewish boycott of Nazi Germany too.  The Zionists preferred to trade with the Nazis.  So enthusiastic were they that in August 1933 they agreed a trade agreement Ha’avara which enabled the Zionists to lay their hands on the wealth of German Jewry.   Their aim was to ‘save the wealth of Germany Jewry’ a rich community.  They weren’t so bothered about saving German Jews though.

Between 1933 and 1939 some 60% of capital investment in the Zionist economy in Palestine came from Nazi Germany. [David Rosenthall, Jewish Frontier May-June 1998]

One unfortunate side effect of Ha’avara was that it destroyed the Jewish Boycott of Nazi Germany.  That was why Hitler had agreed to it.  The Nazis were able to say that whilst gullible non-Jews were boycotting Germany, the Jews were taking advantage of this to make extra profit.  It was difficult to point out that the Zionists were the quislings of the Jewish community.

‘Anyone who wants to
boycott is welcome to do so from Syria,’ says MK Yinon Magal, who submitted the
bill. Gov’t supports such a law but finds current version extreme.

European Commission adopts
guidelines for labeling products from Israeli settlements

Israel is in national
denial regarding its oppression of Palestinians

The Knesset approved
Wednesday the preliminary reading of a bill forbidding entry into Israel of
anyone who calls for a boycott against Israel. The bill, which passed 55-31,
followed Wednesday morning’s decision of the European Union to adopt new
guidelines for labeling products from Israeli settlements. 

“Anyone who wants to
boycott Israel will be able to do it here,” said MK Yinon Magal (Habayit
Hayehudi), who submitted the bill. “He is invited to boycott Israel from
Syria. The absurd situation in which a person exploits Israeli democracy and
what Israel has to offer to advance boycotts against it is about to stop. The
days are over when people who called for boycotting Israel landed at Ben-Gurion
and took a taxi to Bil’in to throw stones at soldiers.”

Interior Minister Silvan
Shalom, who responded in the name of the government, said: “This bill is
no doubt extreme, and there needs to be a thoughtful discussion about it and
provisions for exceptions. The government is supportive subject to coordinating
legislation with it.”

MK Dov Khenin (Arab Joint
List), who opposed the bill, said, “The real headline for this bill is the
law for encouraging boycotting the State of Israel.” He observed that
according to the bill, “anyone who participates in labeling products can’t
enter Israel.”

He added: “All of
Europe is out. People are prepared to pay the price of deepening
delegitimization and of hurting tourism in order to protect the
settlements.”

The European Commission
adopted Wednesday morning the Notice on indication of origin of goods from the
territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, a senior EU official said.
Following the decision, EU Ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen was
summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem for a reprimand.
