Activists from the Internationalt Forum were subjected to a shocking experience during a flyering action last week encouraging the boycott of Israeli goods.

Two men threatened the activists’ lives, knocking the flyers out of their hands and shouting at them.

This incident is another proof of the sort of understanding of democracy that the apartheid state of Israel and its followers, including those in Denmark, have.

Read below a description of the experience by one of the group members.

Join us to help build the next boycott action on 11 December at 3:30 pm in front of the Helsingør City Center.

“Death threats during Boykot Israel action at Stengade.

‘Are you aware of how many Mossad people we have in Denmark?’ (Mossad is the Israeli intelligence service.)
Me: ‘I know that Mossad has murdered 27 leading PLO people around the world.’
Him: ‘Yes, and Mossad has eyes on you. You’ll be the next one to kill.’
Me: ‘And you think it’s OK to threaten to kill me for saying my opinion about Israel?’
Him: ‘You’re not worth it!’

That and much else happened when I and another boycott activist encountered these men during the boycott action in front of the City Center Friday afternoon – first by one man, who then returned a half-hour later with “reinforcement.” We are from Israel, they said…or shouted, as they appeared aggressive and threatening throughout the encounter.

They were even more angered when I asked how they were dealing with the apartheid law adopted by the Israeli parliament in July of this year, in which only Jews have full rights in Israel.

The most aggressive of the two slammed the flyers out of my hand and became even more physically threatening when I asked if it was the kind of democracy that Israel stands for.

This episode has been reported to the police. If someone has taken pictures, please send them to us to help identify the two Israelis. Please send to info@internationaltforum.dk.

Reports by the Israeli government and the Rand Corporation have predicted that the global movement to boycott Israel, BDS, could cost Israel billions of dollars. Valencia, Spain’s third largest city has adopted the boycott of Israel along with 11 other cities in Spain, Trondheim in Norway and Norwegian labor union boycotts. Similarly, various university councils and organizations around the world have adopted the boycott and the movement is growing every day and is effective.

Mossad’s goons should not tell us what to do and say.

Helsingør and Denmark must take a stand against Israel’s assault on Palestine.

So turn up for the boycott of Israel. Otherwise, you support Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, the apartheid regime, illegal settlements, silent ethnic cleansing, political detention and abuse of Palestinian children.

The next boycott action is 11 December, 3:30 pm in front of the city center. After, around 5:00 pm, we will meet for a snack at Cafe Kaiser.”

Aktivister fra Internationalt Forum Nordsjælland blev i sidste uge udsat for en rystende oplevelse under en flyeruddeling, der opfordrede til boykot af israelske varer.

To mænd truede aktivisterne på livet, slog deres flyers ud af hænderne på dem og råbte, indtil de gik igen.

Hændelsen er endnu et bevis på den forståelse af demokrati, som apartheid-staten Israel og dens tilhængere, også her i Danmark, har.

Læs herunder et læserindlæg, som medlemmerne af gruppen har indsendt til lokalaviserne i Nordsjælland.

Og hvis du har mulighed, kom og støt op om den næste boykot aktion den 11. december kl 15.30 foran Bycentret i Helsingør.

Trusler på livet under Boykot Israel aktion på Stengade.

”Er du klar over, hvor mange Mossad-folk vi har i Danmark?”. (Mossad er Israel efterretningstjeneste).
Mig: ”Jeg ved, at Mossad har myrdet 27 ledende PLO-folk rundt om i Verden”
”Ja, og Mossad har øjnene på dig. Du bliver den næste, de slår ihjel.”
Mig: ”Og det synes du er ok – at jeg skal slås ihjel for at sige min mening om Israel?”
”Du er jo ikke bedre værd!”


Det og meget andet blev jeg og en anden Boykotaktivist mødt med under Boykotaktionen foran Bycentret fredag eftermiddag – først af én mand, som så vendte tilbage en ½ time efter med ”forstærkning”. Vi er fra Israel, sagde de 2 …. eller råbte, for de optrådte aggressivt og truende under hele forløbet.

Det gik helt galt for de israelske temperamenter, da jeg spurgte, hvordan de havde det med den apartheidlov, som det israelske parlament vedtog i juli i år, hvor kun jøder har fulde rettigheder i Israel.

Den mest aggressive af de to slog løbesedlerne ud af hånden på mig, og blev endnu mere fysisk truende, da jeg spurgte, om det var den form for demokrati, Israel står for.

Episoden er anmeldt til politiet. Hvis nogen, har taget billeder, vil det støtte anmeldelsen, for der mangler en del til signalementerne af de 2 israelere. Send gerne til info@internationaltforum.dk

Rapporter fra den israelske regering og the Rand Corporation har forudset, at den globale boykot-Israel-bevægelse, BDS, kan koste Israel milliarder af dollars. Valencia, Spaniens tredjestørste by boykotter Israel sammen med 11 andre byer i Spanien. Trondheim i Norge og norsk LO boykotter. Det samme gør adskillige universiteter og organisationer Verden over, og bevægelsen vokser hver dag. Og bevægelsen har jo åbenbart effekt.

Mossads gorillaer skal ikke fortælle os, hvad vi må mene og gøre.

Helsingør og Danmark må vise fanen mod Israels overgreb i Palæstina.

Så skru op for boykot af Israel. Ellers støtter du Israels krigsforbrydelser i Gaza, apartheidregimet, ulovlige bosættelser, den stille etniske udrensning, politiske fængslinger, overgreb mod Palæstinas børn m.m.m.

Næste boykotaktion er d. 11. december kl. 15.30 foran Bycentret. Bagefter, ca kl 17, mødes vi til en cafésnak på Café Kaiser. Vel mødt!
