It is also interesting that you quoted "Love thy neighbor as thyself" the verse from Leviticus 19:18. The rest of the verse states "Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." If you are Jewish, you are not following the rest of the verse. You are taking vengeance and bearing a grudge against fellow Jews. In context the verse means love yourself as you love your people. Please start loving the Jewish people

@stopBDS999 has come up with 3 brilliant arguements on why Israel should not boycotted:

1. 400 years ago, Americans slaughtered the natives and took their land, and that makes it OK for Israel to do the same.

2. Stop buying American products, when you live in America

3. Finally, love thy Jewish neightbor even if they are psychotic murdering, land theiving, children maiming, organ harvesting, human rights deniers

BOYCOTT ISRAEL! JEWS SAY NEVER AGAIN INCLUDES PALESTINIANS TOO.

@Taytaba2 In 1948 no country called Palestine was destroyed or invaded to establish Israel.Since biblical times when the Jews owned the land until the British occupation in 1917,Palestine was never a political entity but was a part moved from one empire to the next.From the Romans,to the Arabs to Ottomans to the British.

The real settlers here R the Arabs themselves!What possible claim do people from the Arabian Peninsula have here?After all Palestine isn't a word in Arabic!

Pathetic!!!

@taytaba2

Sorry my commenting has been a little messed up. After some research I found some interesting information (I'll try and get you the exact source but this is what I have so far). Under all agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, it was understood that Israel would retain a one mile buffer zone between the West Bank and the Dead Sea. The plant where Ahava products are made is .6 miles from the Dead Sea. Therefore, the Ahava plant is located on Israeli recognized land.

@Taytaba2 1) if you wouldn't buy Israeli products then you shouldn't buy American products because they too are produced on "occupied" land. By buying American products you are agreeing that the land is not "occupied" so therefore the land in Israel's possession should also not be considered occupied…

@stopBDS999

Irrelevant, the subject here is Israel's crimes against humanity and violations of international law and the Geneva articles of human rights against the Palestinian people on a daily basis for the past 63 years.

@Taytaba2 …Who is one of the only groups that stood up for people in Darfur? Jews and Israelis because they believe in never again, not only about Jews but for any group.

Please in the future try and better understand what people are saying. Confusion can arise when things are misquoted so please try not to misquote me or anyone else.
