And it is good that there is still Fox News for the people to see the true facts reported, not CNN, BBC and thers that receive funds from arabs and have to dance by arabic music. Shame, real shame on screwed up NUJ Olivia is right.

NUJ prefers Rarab (sic) technology such as car bombs,,,, Enjoy." What a ridiculous, racist statement. There is debate to be had here, but it seems hysterical ranting is not confined to just one side. Grow up if you want a proper debate. Olivia's original post is a thoughtful and considered one, and deserves better than this. “Ok, so lets face it.

But there seems to be an increase of unpolitical members in the union. To me, it seems the NUJ has always been political. But there seems to be an increase of unpolitical members in the union.

It might leave room for some local journalists -- you know, ones who actually speak the language and have not been just parachuted in from halfway around the world -- to furnish accurate reporting, rather than the starry-eyed cliches of Brit narrators out for a good story. The international journalism of the West has consistently demonstrated itself to be colonialism's last acceptable face. How nice for the journalists to lay it out for the natives as to what they should really be doing. But, please, do work it through to its logical end. The self-righteous, underinformed tones of UK's pack-journalist "correspondents" are a pleasure we could really do without for a long while.

Boycotting Israeli goods is a wonderful act, but it must be followed! So, to make life easier for you I compiled a short list of companies to avoid. Watch out, there are 4500 startups in Israel and many more companies, and not following the Führer orders might be a crime. A Short List =-=-=-=-=- Intel based computers - Most processors are designed in Israel and manufactured in that country. All those Intel based notebooks have an Israeli code! Intel M series was originally Banias based on an Israeli river. Intel Core series was codenamed Yonah. Those Zionists ..... Flash based cards - most of the recent technology was developed by Eli Harari (Sandisk) and most of the software designed in Israel (originally by M-Systems). The flash resieds on most cellphones and can be used on those new cameras. AVOID!! AVOID! All medical technology including intraoperative MRI should be avoided. GE manufactuers most MRIs in Israel AVOID AVOID Do not purchase in generic drugs manufactured by Teva, the largest generic drug company in the world, and don't use Copaxone to treat your relatives MS. Do not buy any microchips . Remmeber, most of the machines are made in Israel by a small company called Applied Materials. Don't use any turbines for geoothermal enregy - Ormat Inc. is Israelk! Do not use any telephone and cellphone billing software.... most are made in Israel. Do you have a cordless phone (Panasonic Audiovox etc...). The chipset is designed and manufactured in Israel.... DSPG! Are you interested in preventing viruses using a fire wall? Damn, taht was also invented in Israel and the best companies for security are Checkpoint and Aladdin. How about in need for magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound treatment for uterine fibroids... Thats Israel.... SO DONT USE How about having a colonoscopy. I bet you love it. You could have used a pill with a camera but thats Israel (Given Diagnostic Imaging System) Ok, so lets face it. NUJ prefers Rarab technology such as car bombs,,,, Enjoy.

I seem to have been proved wrong by your colleagues vote. Everyone has their leaning, but should it really but publicised, especially by 'neutral' journalists. However some semblance of faith and sanity has be restored by comments, and I thank for them. As for the journalists who voted to boycott, I hope you will be donating anything made by Microsoft, Intel, IBM and Nokia in your posession as soon as possible.
