Israel should be honored for being a light unto the nations....the only democratic nation, innovative, progressive....in a region that is otherwise replete with war, bigotry, hatred and repression.
Further, if Portland even considers boycott action, then those voting for the boycott should discontinue using any devices or procedures created in Israel...and that includes computers with Intel inside, cell phone, public water treatment, medical procedures and pharmaceuticals for Parkinson Disease and Multiple Schlerosis, etc.
Let's not be hypocritical, eh?
I hope that Portland will not become a city to be avoided.

Let's boycott Portland for being a fascist state. They are racist and facist. Who would ever want to go there and spend any money. And oh, let's boycott ANY product made or manufactured or grown in Portland-maybe all of Oregon. No more touristy visits.

Rather than being demonized, Israel should be lauded by the Portland Human Rights Commission as a shining example of Progressive values in a sea of despots and dictatorships. This BDS proposal is divisive and foments hate and divisiveness.

I lived in Portland for three years and I'm ashamed. To single out Israel, a tiny country, surrounded by religious fanatics who don't want it or Jews to exist at all, is a disgusting form of antii-semitism.

I find it unfair to single out Israel and accuse them of wrongdoings, when there are countries out there who actually truly are promoting violence against civilization that everyone seems to turn a blind eye to. Israel deserves the rights to protect her land and to live peacefully without others incorrectly assuming things about this beautiful nation! Boycotting Israel is anti-semetic and also does the world no service. We, as Americans, should be accepting and non-discriminatory. I love Portland and would like to believe Portland has more respect than to do something like this. Thank you for your consideration of my petition!

Fellow liberals, please stop drinking the Kool-Aid against Israel and really look deeply into the accurate facts and history of this conflict. We human rights activists have been woefully manipulated and misinformed by those whose goal is to eradicate Israel.
