We Erect this Nidstang (curse pole) against Rachel Giora of Tel Aviv University

Rachel Giora, a Professor of Linguistics at Tel Aviv University, calls for a boycott of Israel

Q: What is the difference between Rachel Giora and a kapo (Jewish concentration camp trustee whose job was often to pull the gold fillings out of dead Jews' teeth and then throw the dead Jews in the crematoria)?
A: Many if not most kapos had guns to their heads, sometimes literally. Giora's actions against her country are purely voluntary.

We are not attorneys and we do not know how Israeli law defines treason. The United States' definition is quite limited; treason consists of levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to the declared enemies of the United States. We say "declared" because Jane Fonda's conduct during the Vietnam War, while morally treasonous in every sense of the word, was apparently not legally so because neither the United States nor North Vietnam had declared war on the other. The same probably applies to Rachel Giora's call for a boycott of her own country; it may not constitute treason under an Israeli law, but this individual nonetheless deserves to be shunned, ostracized, and treated as if she was wearing a swastika on her shirt sleeve. Rachel Giora is a nithing: an enemy of civilized humanity.

Suppose that an American citizen had, after December 7 1941, agitated for a boycott of American businesses and educational institutions in support of Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. It is doubtful that anybody would have hired that individual, patronized his business, served him in a restaurant, or even spoken to him. Hamas, one of the entities on whose behalf the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement is working, is effectively in a state of war against Israel. It has murdered Israeli citizens, and it has proclaimed openly its intention to destroy Israel. It is one matter to criticize your country's policies and quite another to work actively to hurt your country, especially when your country is legally or effectively at war. Let us now allow Rachel Giora to speak for herself.

The emergence of the Israeli boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) movement has been influenced by a number of factors. In essence, however, the movement in Israel has been basically reactive – a response to (a) international calls following traumas, and to (b) ideas, primarily those introducing the South African model into the international and Israeli discourse; and perhaps most significantly, it has evolved in response to (c) calls by Palestinians to the international community to boycott Israel, divest and disinvest from it, and sanction it. Although the history of the BDS movement in Israel is reviewed here chronologically, the assumption is that all these factors have worked interactively and in tandem to influence the development of the BDS movement worldwide as well as in Israel. The major role of the Israeli BDS movement has been to support international BDS calls against Israel and legitimize them both as clearly not anti-Semitic, as not working against Israelis but against Israeli governmental policies, and as supporting a legitimate nonviolent means by which Palestinian civil society can reclaim and re-own its people’s rights and freedoms. Alongside solidarity with the Palestinians, the driving force behind the Israeli BDS movement has been the realization that the criminal occupation and repression of the Palestinian people, as practiced by Israeli governments, will not be redressed without significant international pressure.

"Significant international pressure" sounds a lot like levying war, or the moral equivalent of war, against one's own country. There is a name for that; it is de facto albeit perhaps not de jure treason. We accordingly encourage the people of Israel to proclaim Rachel Giora a nithing: an enemy of civilization worthy of scorn, shunning, and total ostracism from society. We encourage students at Tel Aviv University, especially those with brothers and sisters in the IDF, to boycott her courses and leave her classrooms empty. We encourage her colleagues to shun her and refuse to even speak with her. We encourage Israelis to treat this individual (within the limits of the law) the way the French once treated women who had collaborated with the Nazis; with shunning, ostracism, revulsion, and total contempt. She deserves to be made a stranger in her own country, an outcast with no flag or country to call her own. We sure as hell don't want her in the United States. Giora has however performed one service by re-publishing the names of thirty-five other nithings; scum who deserve to have no flag or country unless it is that of Palestine, which has its own way of treating Jews and women in general. Note how these nithings call for a boycott of their own country (when listed as Israel); we remind them that they are free at any time to renounce their Israeli citizenship and move elsewhere, e.g. to Gaza, Syria, Iran, or Hell for all we care.

We call on the world community to organize and boycott Israeli industrial and agricultural exports and goods, as well as leisure tourism

3. Organize activities to put pressure on your government to cut economic and commercial ties with Israel and to rescind preferential economic treaties with Israel”.

This nidstang also applies to the 35 individuals listed above. Giora has added a list of Israeli academicians, including herself, who DO deserve to be boycotted, ostracized, shunned, and treated as if they were wearing swastikas on their shirt sleeves:

Dr Pappe, Ilan

This nidstang applies to the individuals listed above. The bottom line is that Israel has no walls to keep people in who do not wish to be there, and these bipedal roaches are free to scurry away whenever they please. Since they are such good friends of the Palestinians, they should cross the border into Gaza where we are sure Hamas will give them the welcome they richly deserve.
