In occupied Francehttp://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/05/023508.phpOur friend Fern Oppenheim points us to the video of Israel haters scouring a French supermarket to remove Israeli products from the shelf. There isn't a manager in sight. All the shoppers go about their business like it is 1942 Vichy France. The video was apparently shot in the northeastern suburbs of Paris that gained attention as the scene of the mysterious French "youth" riots of 2005.

Boycotts are perfectly legitimate free-market forms of protest — but this isn’t a boycott at all. A boycott is an organized effort to stop buying products or services from some offending source. This is an organized theft ring and nothing more. Unless they’re paying for those groceries, which would defeat the entire purpose of the protest, the Palestine Vivra group is committing grand theft and conspiracy to commit grand theft. That’s not a legitimate act of political protest; it’s thuggery. The most ironic part of this video is the frequent references to Israel’s “criminality†while the groups steals everything that they can grab … and while their fellow countrymen don’t lift a finger to stop them.
Well this is a call to action if I've ever heard one. I think it's time to "boycott" my local grocery store's collection of French wine to protest the lack of protest of the French people to Anti-Israeli boycottheft. (got that?) Countdown to French surrender 5... 4... 3...
