Combat:
-In the mid-late 90's Russia fought a war in Chechnya in which over 200,000 were killed - 1/4 were civilians - I don't see Russian writers being boycotted
-The US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan - whether you support the War On Terror or not - estimated 125,000 civilians killed - I don't see American writers being boycotted
- Several years ago - The Sri-Lankan Army went to war against the Tamil Tigers - carpet-bombing, the wanton shelling of civilian areas, and summary-executions resulted in thousands killed - the UN estimates 1/3 were civilians - I don't see Sri-Lankan writers being boycotted
-The Armenian Genocide - 1.5 million slaughtered - I don't see Turkish writers being boycotted
-The Holocaust - was former Nazi Party member Werner Von Braun...the designer of rockets which rained death from above on thousands of European civilians...boycotted? Nope, he was given a job at NASA and proclaimed a hero by American leaders at his funeral.
Occupied Lands:
-Yes, most know them as The Falkland Islands, yet The Malvenas Islands are Argentinian Territory located almost 10,000 miles from London - Argentinian citizens are not even allowed to set foot on the islands -I don't see British writers being boycotted
- America is built on land stolen from Native Americans - "Manifest Destiny" (It is our God-given right to murder, pillage and occupy was the battle-cry to displace and murder an entire people) - I don't see American writers being boycotted
- Australia and the Aborigines (see the above and replace America with Australia) - I don't see Australian writers being boycotted
Yup, just a very partial list which could go on for pages and pages and pages.
Let the hypocrisy continue...blame Israel and Israel alone...and boycott academics, writers, scientists, and businesses which are in any way associated with this satanic nation!

This list is far from comprehensive, but it serves as a guide to some of the most well-known countries that were conquered by other countries: Gaul was conquered by France, Bengal was conquered by Bangladesh and India, Catalonia was conquered by Spain, Champa was conquered by Vietnam, Corsica was conquered by France, East Pakistan was conquered by Bangladesh, Hawaii and Alaska were annexed by the US, Prussia was conquered by Germany, Rhodesia was conquered by Zimbabwe, Sikkim was conquered by India, Urjanchai Republic was conquered by Russia, and the list goes on and on. Shall we boycott all the conquering countries? I didn't think so! - Michelle
