With regard to Israel, why not organize a campaign that is akin to 
the divestment campaign against South African apartheid, targeting 
both governments & corporations?  Israel is an outpost of the 
American Empire, helping the USA police the Middle East, just as 
South Africa played the same role for Southern Africa on behalf of 
the USA.
