Question/comment:: Your so-called 'boycott watch' is just
some advertising against Israeli products boycott (which I
find legitimate) and propaganda for arabic products boycott.
One question : who finances your despisable work ? Some
American pro-Israeli lobby ?

| First, I see you are scared to use
your real name and email address. Unlike you, we are not afraid to say who we
are or sign our names. Therefore you really don't deserve a response, but here
it is anyways. |
| |
| You are obviously biased against
Israel since you, as you stated, support a boycott against Israeli products.
We, on the other hand, are neutral, and that is something that bothers you.
|
| |
| If you read our FAQ, which you
obviously did not, you would see the answer to the question of why we report on
so many Israel related boycotts - it is because there are just so many of them
by people like you who hate Israel. If you read our site, you would have also
noticed we reported on the USPS Eid stamp and Persian Gulf oil boycotts. We did
not take sides in either boycott - we reported the story. |
| |
| Additionally, the Persian Gulf oil
boycott is not related to Jews or Israel, but rather American sentiment after
the September 11th terrorist attacks on the US. We do not know who is behind
the Eid stamp boycott, but there is also no evidence the boycott was started by
Jews, Israelis, or Israel - even if it was, it would not effect our reporting.
|
| |
| Unlike you, we are not biased. Our
funding comes from a wide variety of sources of all walks of life. We have
taken no money from any lobby group and we will also not change our reporting
because of any funding source or emails from people like you. |
| |
| People refer to Boycott Watch because
they want to read both sides of the story and decide for themselves what the
truth is. If this bothers you or if you are afraid of truth, then I suggest
putting your blinders back on and just read sites that are pure opinion. |
