Comments by Sammy Benjamin:---------------------------------------------------------
Does this remind you of what happened one really BAD DAY in NAZI GERMANY when they BOYCOTTED Jewish goods and stores?

6 million Jews plus a few more million civilians plus soldiers had to die before the killers could be stopped.

Hence such acts cannot be tolerated and have to be nipped in the bud.

If anybody disagrees, here is a review down memory lane :

IT ALL STARTED WITH THIS

"Germans protect yourselves. Do not buy from Jews."

REMEMBER : Kristallnacht: "Night of Broken Glass"

On November 7, when a Jewish youth named Herschel Grynszpan shot an employee of the German Embassy in Paris to avenge his father's deportation, the Nazi leaders launched a violent attack on Jewish community. The Nazis murdered around 100** Jews destroying Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues. This attack on the night of November 9 became known as Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass" after an American in Leipzig wrote, "Jewish shop windows by the hundreds were systematically...smashed....The main streets of the city were a positive litter of shattered plate glass." Kristallnacht became a big step-up in the Nazi policy of Jewish persecution.

** The real number are : 1550 synagogues destroyed and 2500 Jews killed that night alone.

AND FOR MANY, IT ENDED HERE

On Tuesday, November 30, anti-Israel activists in New York City plan to demonstrate and call for boycotts of stores that sell Israeli products. Their target is Ricky's because it carries Ahava goods. But this action in New York is just one of many. Boycotters have been energetically lobbying other stores across the country to drop Israeli products, from local co-ops to Costco and Trader Joe's. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

The pro-Israel, pro-peace community urges you to join a counter campaign. We are making November 30 a BIG (Buy Israeli Goods) Day. Let us show anyone that calls for boycotts of even one or two stores, that it will always be met with a much larger counter-movement to buy Israeli goods.

StandWithUs and the America-Israel Chambers of Commerce calls on schools, college campuses, synagogues, community organizations, and individuals to designate Tuesday, November 30, as the day to actively Buy Israeli Goods. Go to your local stores and request Israeli products. Whenever a boycott is called, respond by purchasing the very Israeli goods that are being targeted and let store managers know they should keep them well-stocked on the shelves.

The holiday season is fast approaching. When you go holiday shopping, choose presents from the wonderful array of Israeli-made items, from fine Israeli wines to the high quality Ahava beauty products, Israeli jewelry, shoes and clothing lines, and of course, food. Select Sabra or Tribe hummus, great Israeli wines and Osem cookies to grace your holiday party.

We must defeat the boycotters who advocate destructive instead of constructive measures, who undermine hopes for peaceful co-existence, and whose only goal is to defame, cripple and damage Israel.

We can defeat them if we join together. The very date, November 30th, should encourage us. It comes the day after the 53rd anniversary of the UN Partition Resolution when the effort, against all odds, to restore the Jewish State was endorsed and recognized by the international community. It also comes just as Hannukah is approaching when we celebrate the Maccabees who also restored Jewish independence, and who were a few who triumphed over the many. We can do the same, and shine a light on Israel for all people of good will.

On November 30th, go shopping for Israel no matter where you live. Buy for Israel. Buy for peace. Be a big part of this BIG (Buy Israeli Goods) Day.

Shop with friends, and please take pictures or videos of yourself purchasing Israeli products, and send them to us. Make fun entries for youtube, make them positive, fun, and/or funny. Email your photos or links to your videos to big@standwithus.com.
