Shameful Behaviour From Canada

Ahava Advertisement
Once again people who choose not to deal with facts are asking for a boycott of Israeli products. Arutz 7 has this report on a pro-Arab group in Canada that has called for a boycott of the popular Ahava Dead Sea products. The group who called for the boycott is Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), a non-profit and secular organization which claims to bring together “men and women of all backgrounds who labor to see justice and peace take root again in the Middle East,” as its website states. The group’s identified mission is “to empower decision-makers to view all sides with fairness and to promote the equitable and sustainable development of the region.”  Their empowerment efforts appear to be primarily aimed at the de-legitimization of Israel.

Here is another take on their "labor to see justice and peace take root" taken from Eye on a Crazy Planet--I urge you to read the entire article, look at the videos they posted and then consider the biased influence this anti-Israel group has. Here is an excerpt:

Does it seem that whenever a story about Israel gets printed in a major publication, a group of the same online posters combined with usual suspect letters-to-the-editor writers get a control message to go into action and use a familiar litany of spurious talking points to malign the middle east's only democracy?

Ever wonder why they all sound so similar? There's a reason for that. The so-called "Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East," (CJPME) an anti-Israel group whose board includes Canadians Osama Abu-Shihab and Louay Jabry, wants you to be on stand-by to join their team of "media responders". Your job is to badmouth Israel and you don't even have to have a command of the facts that you're going to claim to find objectionable.

Can't think of what to write, or what to say? Incapable of thinking for yourself? No problem!  The CJPME will do that for you. In the words of their own promotional videos below, their Media Centre will allow you to " respond effectively without even having to locate a newspaper or magazine." Talk about convenient! Any semi-literate half-wit could participate (and from the looks of things, quite a few do).

The Dead Sea
One of the CJPME claims is that  “Israel’s current colonial endeavors in the West Bank are in violation of the 1993 Oslo Accords.”  New Flash--Ahava was established in 1988, five years before Oslo.

Other claims that Israel is causing the security problems in the middle-east are merely a continuation of the lies being spun by the arab world. Muslims have been trying to eradicate the Jews since Mo had his first seizure around 620CE. For the past 90 years Israel has tried to make peace and every time war has broken out and  when the Jews fight back (and win) they are accused of "ethnic cleansing". You should know that the only "Refugee Camps" exist in Arab countries "outside of Israel". That is because Israel closed all the camps within its borders giving the people citizenship! I leave you with this quote from Mahmoud Abbas himself: "I will never allow a single Israeli to live among us on Palestinian land,”  I guess that is what CJPME would call a concession... 
Oh, by the way...Do Purchase Ahava Products--they are great!
