Damn good news! One more powerful voice for Justice in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Always better to be late than never be involved. The boycott and sanctions against Israel movement has been going on for a while now. Much more difficult to get brewing on college campuses than the South African Apartheid movement back in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s due to groups like Campus Watch. But..the Boycott Israel movement is definitely growing.

Author Naomi Klein Calls for Boycott of Israel
"By Agence France Presse

June 26, 2009 "AFP" — BILIN , West Bank – Bestselling author Naomi Klein on Friday took her call for a boycott of Israel to the occupied West Bank village of Bilin, where she witnessed Israeli forces clashing with protesters.

"It’s a boycott of Israeli institutions, it’s a boycott of the Israeli economy," the Canadian writer told journalists as she joined a weekly demonstration against Israel’s controversial separation wall.

"Boycott is a tactic . . . we’re trying to create a dynamic which was the dynamic that ultimately ended apartheid in South Africa," said Klein, the author of "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism."

"It’s an extraordinarily important part of Israel’s identity to be able to have the illusion of Western normalcy," the Canadian writer and activist said.

"When that is threatened, when the rock concerts don’t come, when the symphonies don’t come, when a film you really want to see doesn’t play at the Jerusalem film festival . . . then it starts to threaten the very idea of what the Israeli state is."

She briefly joined about 200 villagers and foreign activists protesting the barrier which Israel says it needs to prevent attacks, but which Palestinians say aims at grabbing their land and undermining the viability of their promised state.
