Boycott Arab and Iranian Goods*

OTTAWA, July 29 (ARP News Service) -- Boycott campaigns
against the Arab world and Iran that will require the cooperation of every
lover of Middle East freedom have been launched by a group of outspoken
Canadians, it was announced today by its leader Ehab Lotayef, a computer technician
at McGill University.
"It is high time we exposed the crimes against humanity committed by the
modern pharoahs of the Muslim Middle East. Hosni Mubarak and Col. Muammar
Gadaffi, who enslaved the long-suffering Egyptian and Libyan peoples with 30-year old
dictatorships unprecedented in modern history, have now been ousted, as has
Mubarak's successor, but democracy is still not on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Gaza, the
West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan are being ruled by hereditary fascist thugs
and usurpers who are massacring their own people ," Lotayef
stated.
Speaking
to hundreds of Muslim and Syrian Canadians on Parliament Hill, the Egyptian-
Canadian activist who is a moderate member of the Muslim Brotherhood, blasted
the Arab and Iranian regimes for plundering their countries' wealth and
depriving their people of their basic human rights. He particularly upbraided
Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran for their entrenched
system of apartheid against their Christian Copt, Maronite, Melkite,
Palestinian, Berber, Sunni, Shia and Kurd populations.
Lotayef, who has long sailed the seas for the seething Arab masses
oppressed by their corrupt rulers, bewailed the thousands of civilians
recently massacred by the Arab and Iranian security forces in the streets
of Cairo, Alexandria, Aleppo, Teheran, Manama, Damascus,
Deraa, Latakia, Homs, Amman, Jeddah, Gaza City, Taiz and Sanaa.
"It is simply incomprehensible that these bloodthirsty governments are
committing genocide against their own people," he exclaimed.
As a consequence, his new organization -- Canadians for Boycotting
Arab and Iranian Goods (CBAIG) -- will be demanding that Canadian
importers immediately terminate their contracts for the purchases of
petroleum, petrochemicals, plastics, cotton yarn and garments, rugs,
fertilisers, majhool dates, taboule, figs, and sheet metal from these
countries. In addition, all Canadian firms with investments and joint
ventures in these tyrannies, including Atco International, SNC-Lavalin,
Suncor, Bombardier, Caisse Desjardins and the Royal Bank of
Canada, will be pressured to divest their assets from them.
Of equal weight is our campaign for the Harper government to implement
sanctions by halting its arms shipments to the Nazi-like governments of
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
"We are confident that the international community - and
particularly the Canadian and Quebecois publics - is prepared to support
our initiative until the vicious dictatorships of the Arab Middle East and Iran
are overthrown and their civilian populations are finally endowed with
classical democracy," Lotayef affirmed.
"The welfare of the beleaguered Arab and Iranian people must be our
number one priority," he stated.
The new boycott campaign is supported by the NDP and Vancouver
Caucuses, the Winnipeg Peace Alliance, Stop the War, Canadians
for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, York Federation of
Students, the Tamil National Council of Canada, CUPE Ontario
Section, the Association of Arab Students and Professors in Canada, KAIROS
Canada, the Canadian Postal Workers Union, the League for Iranian
Democracy, the Federation des Enseignants du Quebec as well as dozens of
Pentecostal and United Church of Canada ministers led by Thom Davies of Wesley
Urban Ministries in Hamilton, Ontario.
CBAIG co-founder Karen Devito, the recently-remarried Vancouver socialite,
noted the illegitimate Muslim government leaders of the Middle
East are being targeted by her followers with arrest warrants should they step
foot on Canadian soil or seek asylum here. Under the international law of
universal jurisdiction, war criminals and their genocidal ilk are liable to
arrest upon the issuance of a certification by the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service.
She emphasized that her group's actions were in
complete fulfilment of the treasured Canadian tradition of seeking justice
for suffering humanity. Moreover, it has the complete approval
of her strategic adviser, the world-renowned author Naomi Klein, a veteran
critic of Arab war crimes.
"We must lose no time in bringing Assad and the Iranian
mullahs to the gallows just as Bin Laden and Gaddafi were so quickly
dispatched. These greasy rats must be torn limb from limb," she
stated to tumultuous applause from the demonstrators.
.
"And let us not forget to overthrow the corrupt rulers of the Muslim
Palestinians in the Hamas and Fatah movements who have immiserated their people
by stealing their hard-earned wages to pad their Swiss bank accounts,"
Devito added.
Casting aside her life-time enmity towards Israel, Devito pleaded
with the Jewish state to invade Syria and Iran and wipe out their respective
Palestinian-hating feudal Shi'ite ruling classes.
A humanitarian gesture of this sort under the UN's Doctrine of the
Responsibility to Protect can lead to the toppling of their authoritarian
regimes and the implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and all the Geneva Conventions,'' she posited.
"As for our myriad of friends among the general
public, we sincerely hope they will be moved to embrace the boycott of
Arab and Iranian goods with the objective of liberating the
oppressed Arab masses, " Lotayef and Devito concluded.
CBAIG is also pleased to announce that its founder Ehab Lotayef and
strong supporter, Prof. Diane Lamoureux of Laval University, will shortly
be crossing the Turkish frontier into Syria where they will document for
Canadians the Holocaust naqba that is being inflicted upon
the Palestinians by their Syrian Arab brethren.
Some 3,000 Palestinian children have already been slaughtered and gassed with
the sarin nerve gas agent near Yarmouk, 65,000 adults and their families have
been turned into refugees fleeing to Jordan and Lebanon, while 80 percent of
the total 520,000 Palestinian population has been displaced from their homes.
Horrific barbarism is occurring at 14 concentration camps where Syrian
militias are daily ripping out the intestines of hundreds of Palestinians and
eating their raw livers, kidneys and hearts as reported by Russian President
Vladimir Putin at the recent G-8 Summit.
CBAIG is extremely proud of the self-sacrifice of Ehab Lotayef and Prof.
Lamoureux as should be all Canadians who are invited to massively boycott these
outlaw countries.

*This Onionesque news release highlights the hypocrisy of the fanatics who fixate on trying to demonize Israel, the country with the highest standards of human rights in the Middle East, while ignoring the barbarous abuses committed by its neighbors.
Of course this isn't real - and the people devoted to the idiocy parodied in it are likely too ideologically fixated, or just too plain stupid to get the irony... or their facts straight.
This is evidently based on a similar parody to have emerged in the UK. There is also a New Zealand version.
Amusingly, the humorless, conspiracy-obsessed radicals of the anti-Israel movement failed to comprehend the release was meant as parody and took it as some "hoax" and misinformation campaign
