Knesset calls for boycott of British products
The Bulletin reports about how a sizable number of Knesset members have called for a buycott of products from the UK:
Jerusalem – Nearly 50 Members of Israel’s Knesset Parliament have signed an unusual parliamentary petition calling for the boycott of products from the United Kingdom.I know the reason why several members of Kadima have joined in on this - because of the arrest warrant issued against Tzipi Livni.
This is the response to the recommendation of British government officials that Israeli products made in Judea and Samaria and the Golan Heights be marked, in order to abet those citizens wishing to boycott Israeli products.
In addition to the petition, the Knesset is considering legislation that would mandate similar marking of British products, as long as the British decision remains standing.
The petition, which was secretly organized in recent days, was initiated by Ronit Tirosh, of Kadima and a Member of Knesset (MK), and is signed by former senior Israeli government ministers, chairmen of senior Knesset committees, faction chairmen and regular MKs.
At the same time, MK Tirosh approached the accountant general in the Israel Finance Ministry and asked that he prevent senior public officials from flying with British Airways as well as other British airlines operating in Israel.Yes, there's a British business well worth boycotting. Others can include Rolls-Royce and Bentley, though it's worth noting they're not even sold here in Israel, for all I know, though Rover cars are, and if they're still selling here, Israelis can stay away from them; their engines are crap anyway.
