Shame on CUPE Ontario....
They have voted to support a boycott against Israel.
Ontario's largest public sector union has voted to back an international campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.Gee, they have it all backwards. It's the Palestinians who want to deny Israel's right to exist, no?
Delegates at the Canadian Union of Public Employees' convention in Ottawa voted to support the campaign yesterday, saying they would do so until Israel recognizes the Palestinian right to self-determination.
CUPE Ontario, which represents 200,000 public sector workers, is joining a campaign that started last July and is supported by 20 Quebec organizations. A CUPE Ontario news release cited the success of boycotts in ending apartheid in South Africa as a sign the strategy would work.

WTF? Israel has always accepted / offered a Palestinian state and the arabs have always rejected it. Boycott "palestinians" until they cease their killing of innocent people.
Contractors can do the work that CUPE employees carry out.
Canadians should vote for a government that is committed to making government smaller and saving millions of dollars in the process.
CUPE employees are so fantastic and valuable according to they themselves that they shouldn't have trouble finding someone else willing to pay them what they're worth.
We can take our own counter action of course.
1. Invest in Isreal. It is a democratic, free market society so there are lots of opportunities for you to place your financial support.
2. Boycot CUPE whenever possible. In the next municiple elections (this November) make a point of supporting candidates who will dump public sector unions and privatize however and wherever possible. You will get a big tax savings as a bonus.
Remember, we are free agents and capable of making our own decisions. Supporting free and democratic societies around the world helps ensure Canada can also remain free and democratic as well.
Pete, did you know that your Palestine actually included both the west bank and Jordan before 1923? Why don't the Palestinians try to wipe out and take over Jordan instead of Isreal?
Just to add to John's tidy note:
"Zahir Muhsein is a Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member.
In a 1977 interview with a Dutch magazine, he said:
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Palestinians are newly minted "people group" being used by Arab nations to antagonize Israel.
You want a solution for "Palestinian Arabs", get the Arabs to recognize Israel's sovereignty and right to exist. And good luck with that.
The Palestinians could always have land, peace and prosperity, but nothing to them is worth giving up the right to kill Jews. They are merely continuing (and have a directly link historically) to what Hitler was attempting.
And Pete, don't listen to the idiotic theories of Edward Said. People who used terms like "orientalist" are the true racists.
CUPE = Canadian Union of Professional Extortionists
CUPE - I live for the day when unions - the regressors of our times - get smashed to bits. I will laugh hard. That means real productivity and innovation will be back.
Israel has exported Medical technology and other life saving break throughs that have saved more people than the whole population of Israel itself.
Palestine is unsafe for homosexuals and shame on CUPE for ignoring the Gays that are murdered in public by the Sharia based Muslims, and for the record , I have yet to hear about Palestinian Christians becoming suicide bombers that slaughter civilians on buses and in cafe's .
I would just like to point out that Sid Ryan was stupid enough to post his cell phone number on the Anti-Israel press release. You can contact him and let him know that he is an idiot at: Sid Ryan, President, CUPE Ontario, 416-209-0066 (cell). Ask him, as a Hamas supporter under what circumstances suicide bombing is politically justified in a democracy.
