More than a hundred
thousand Israelis are already boycotting the products of the settlements.
They know that the settlements are fatal land-mines blocking the way to
peace.
The boycott was organized by Gush Shalom nine months ago as an Israeli
citizens’ campaign. It is an action of self-defense against those who
would push us into a new war. Many citizens have joined. Lately, the
leadership committee of the Arab citizens in Israel has also done so.
The settlers and their stooges in the media have exploited this fact in
order to make believe that the boycott is a fight of Arabs against Jews.
This is a conscious lie, made possible by the systematic effort of the
rightist media to ignore the actions of the Israeli peace forces, Jewish
and Arab alike.
