Thanks and Shalom!
Well Buycott Month ended with a bang as the first attempted official boycott of Israeli goods at one of America’s most successful Food Co-op ended with a unanimous rejection! We can add that to the long list of boycott failures and Buyycott successes at a time when attempts to boycott Israeli products and divest from Israeli companies has been met with rejection and buycotts leading to sell-outs of all things Israeli.
I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to this project, and to the thousands of visitors who have streamed to this page over the last month. Remember that the fight against the squalid tactics of those seeking boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel doesn’t end. Fortunately the Buycott goes on with more and more people joining the movement every day.
I urge everyone who has enjoyed this site to visit the many Buycott groups listed in the Links section and sign up. More than any other campaign, Buycott provides friends of Israel an easy, effective way to demonstrate your support for the Jewish state in ways that let you immediately see the outcome of your work.
And so that work goes on…
Thank you and Shalom!

AIPAC du Fromage
While attending my first AIPAC, I decided to do the Finger-B in front of the small group of protestors who, for some reason, decided to show up dressed as large pieces of Swiss cheese.
I love Israeli music!
From David Broza to Ester Ofarim to Ivri Lider, Israel rocks! My parents love it too. Here I am holding one of their old ‘records’ which is an antique now, it’s probably about a hundred years old. But I can download and listen to Israeli music all day! Gotta go (homework)...

My God! Isn't that? Isn't that?!
Yes, it's Gloria Greenfield, famed director of The Case for Israel taking time from her ongoing, worldwide film tour to give BDS "The Fingers." OK, so she was robbed at last night's Oscars. But what she lacks in gold statues, she more than makes up for in gold stars for her tireless efforts on behalf of what's right. Go get-em Gloria!
Buycott coast-to-coast
Mike and Bob have set up a Buycott Israel table at Safeway in San Francisco.

Nothing to worry about with this generation

Never too young to buycott halva

Going downhill
I managed to buy the only bottle of Israeli wine within 500 miles while ski vacationing in Big Sky Montana!
Some friends run a great wine and food store here called The Hungry Moose and after my purchase, they said they'll likely be buying more.
Now I just have to figure out how to get wine glasses up this damned mountain.

Don't be frightened
It's just me in my Dead Sea Premier Mask Miracle Noir!
I usually wait for a special occasion to treat myself to Ahava and other Israeli beauty goodies, but Buycott Month has inspired me to not be so selfish! From what I've seen, a lot of people urging a boycott of Israeli goods could also benefit from an Ahava facial (meow)!
