Scotland: Glasgow districts boycott Israeli books
YNET ^ | May 24, 2011 | Yaniv Halily

Two and a half years ago, shortly after Operation Cast Lead, the West Dunbartonshire Regional Council, located west of Glasgow, approved a bill that called to boycott goods produced in Israel.

Following the botched raid on the Turkish Flotilla to Gaza last May, the council expanded the boycott to include a ban on the purchase of English translations of Israeli books and the distribution of these books in public libraries throughout the council's jurisdiction.

West Dunbartonshire was joined by the large Scottish city Dundee. . .

Legal advisers instructed Dundee's mayor to refrain from legally enforcing the boycott in order to avoid future lawsuits. Instead, the municipality plans to distribute posters throughout the city, calling on some 150,000 residents to refrain from buying Israeli goods, and will also apply a special mark on Israeli products, in order to make them easily identifiable.

IOW, the Nazis run Dundee and West Dunbartonshire.

I wonder if that special mark will be the Star of David? Then maybe they will make Jews wear this star so as to make them also more easily identifiable?

All the worthwhile Scots left over 100 years ago. All that’s left are communists.

Glasgow has a lot of Irish immigrants, from Northern Ireland, and they brought "The Troubles" over there, as anyone who witnessed an "Old Firm" soccer match can attest.

I just posted this on facebook, and a liberal friend of mine has no problem with it and sees no comparison to early Nazi tactics.

Amazing the log in the Liberal eye. Their perspective is rooted in the same ignorance that nourishes all manner and levels of totalitarian MO's - from those, shades of grey to 'the blackest holes of abject ignorance'. An ignorance, that like a bad weed, first 'sleeps'; then creeps. . .then leaps.

The alliance of the Islamic world with Hitler is well documented; as well as the truth that Hitler's Genocide against the Jews, was inspired by Islamic Jihad per Armenian(Christian) Genocide. No wonder the Left has a 'blind eye' for both the totalitarianism of the 'Nazi Socialists' and the threat of Islamic jihad and Sharia 'creep'; and of course, Communists in general. (They are 'it'!) The Left has, is - sourced/aligned - with the worst and most shameful of world histories - and many of the Lib-Left newbies - and older too, of course - do not realize and/or, get it.

(From the relevant to the seemingly innocuous and irrelevant; the ideas behind the MO's are embedded in the same ignorance that denies both 'freedom' and man's Divinely inspired humanity.)

While Obama, Inc. is full of totalitarian MO's; wonder if your friend might recognize any contradictions/correlations in this news-byte-lite, per Drudge headline:

VIDEO: DC Libs Sign Petition to 'Ban' Conservative Websites...

. . .a 'low level' variation of the more 'subtle' agenda put forth by Demorcat sponsored/Obama pushed. . .'Fairness Doctrine' (and all varieties of initiatives, sponsered by George Soros to silence the truth-tellers).

Think the worst of these people cannot help themselves as the 'log' is so deep; their vision of the world has solidified 'who' they are. Many more, are simply ignoring the irritation in their eyes. . .
