The 'Palestinian Authority' has joined a Muslim boycott of Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse after the chain pulled advertising from a reality show called All-American Muslim. This is from the first link.
“This weekend people across the country will be standing up against bigotry and hatred as the ‘Boycott Lowe's’ campaign goes from tweets to the streets,” said the statement.
ADC, which endorsed the “Boycott Lowe's' campaign, organized by the National Lowe’s Boycott Network, called on members across the US “to get involved with the campaign and make their voices heard.”
“Organized protests in front of Lowe's locations across the country are only a start of many actions targeted at fighting bigotry and hate,” it said.
The National Lowe’s Boycott Network is a grassroots effort and campaign started by activists across the country in wake of the Lowe's decision to pull advertising from the TLC show “All-American Muslim,” when it succumbed to pressure from the Florida Family Association's bigoted campaign.
Those involved in the Network come from a broad spectrum of religious, ethnic and professional backgrounds who stand against hate and bigotry, said ADC.
Last week, ADC strongly condemned statements by US presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich who called the Palestinian people an “invented people” and 'terrorists.'
ADC expressed the outrage of its members as well as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Americans and Arab Americans and discredited Gingrich’s “outrageous claims.”
My enemy's enemy is my friend. Go buy something at Lowe's today.
At the request of Fatah, several Palestinian local councils in the Jerusalem area announced that they would boycott the US in protest against the veto.
The boycott includes US government officials and American journalists.
Palestinian Authority and Fatah officials have also called for a “day of rage” against the US and President Barack Obama on Friday.
On Tuesday, Fatah supporters staged a demonstration in east Jerusalem in protest against the Security Council veto. Similar demonstrations have taken place in a number of Palestinian cities, where Fatah supporters chanted slogans denouncing Obama as a “despicable” man.
The local councils said that they would boycott American aid groups and the US Consulate-General in Jerusalem.
Hatem Abdel Kader, a senior Fatah official and former PA minister for Jerusalem affairs, told The Jerusalem Post that he has called on Hamas and other Palestinian factions to join the anti-US boycott.
Abdel Kader said that the protests would continue until the US administration changes its position regarding the Palestinians. He also demanded that Obama publicly apologize to the Palestinians for voting against the anti-settlement resolution.
That's right. The 'Palestinians' are going to boycott the United States.
Now, if I'm an American taxpayer (which I am still), my reaction to this is, "Oh good. That means I don't have to give them any more aid money." Well, not quite....
PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced that he would be prepared to give up US aid that was dependent on political conditions.
He said that in 2010, the US gave the PA $223 million in financial aid to cover its deficit of $1.145 billion.
This did not include US aid to UNRWA, he said.
The 'Palestinians' are willing to give up the $223 million that the US provided to cover their budget deficit. How magnanimous of them. But they're not willing to give up the US contribution to UNRWA, which was $267 million in 2009 and $95 million by March 2010. Nor are they willing to give up the other aid money they get from the US, which was projected to total $502.9 million in 2010 and $550 million in 2011. That money goes for things like incitement on 'Palestinian Authority' television, paying stipends to the families of terrorists held in Israeli prisons and to the families of 'martyrs,' paying salaries of Hamas affiliates in Gaza, and lining the pockets of Abu Bluff, Fayyad and their friends.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
