Israel threatens British boycott.

Bring it on. Israel boycotts Europe! Cannot wait. A shortage of a few products on the fruit shelves at the supermarket is going to have an impact only on the carbon emissions involved in getting it here. No bad thing.

It might assist them to make peace with their neighbours in The Middle East. If Israel realized that it is not part of Europe or America, then its desire for peace might increase.

We should withdraw our EU UN troops from Israel's borders as they are clearly not appreciated there.

clipped from www.timesonline.co.uk Israel’s parliament is to debate a draft law today that could lead to a consumer boycott of all British goods. The proposed Bill is aimed at punishing Britain for recent threats from its largest trade union and UCU, the university lecturers’ union, to boycott Israel for occupying Palestinian land. The prospect of a boycott has prompted concern among the Israeli public. Leading commentators denounced the moves as anti-Semitic. Now a group of politicians has promised a harsh response, calling for Israel to begin its own boycott against Britain. Danny Yatom, a member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, said: “If a state boycotts any products of Israel there will be retaliation the exact same way. This is not a one-way street.” Others want the musical Mama Mia! cancelled. The British production is due to open in Tel Aviv this month.
