Fair enough. Can we arrange it then so that we kick all the Muslims and Arabs out of Europe and North America or would everyone on the forum bitch and complain?

If they stop living peacefully in the community but try to found a muslim or arab nation and turf out all the Americans and Europeans from America and Europe no doubt we will.
Until then your analogy fails.

Right because the U.S. and Europe and is totally trying to found Crusader states all over the middle east instead of just trying to do some peaceful business in the oil trade.

Last I checked there are plenty of groups in the U.S. who either want to destroy it or turn it into a Sharia law guided state so since you want to punish all the Jews, Americans, and Europeans for the actions of a few illegal settlers, then we very well can punish all Muslim and Arabs for the actions of a few.

Commendable move by Britain. We must strangle the economy of the settlers in the same manner as Israel strangles the economy of the West Bank in their bid to essentially annex it. Over here we just have informal blanket boycotts of Israel promoted by campaign groups.

oh, c'mon, this is ridiculous. so let's say you actually manage to get the boycott going - what's to prevent israelis from consuming all the west bank produced food internally and only export what's being produced in other areas? it's food ffs, not some exotic stuff they have huge excess of, right?

Israel has a huge agriculture industry. I could see America getting fucked if no one purchases US beef.

That's for Israel to organise themselves if they see fit to do that. We should not be making their lives easier.

sure. but just organizing this whole boycott-thing is going to be much more of a hussle i bet than it would cause problems for israel.

There must be consequences for criminal actions, symbolic or othewise.

"symbolic" consequences... why don't i think israel gives a damn about those.

Personally I favour full-on sanctions on Israel itself. Not doing so exposes our hypocrisy (Iran?).

i concur. i doubt it's gonna happen anytime soon though.
