Gaza effect: European boycott is now hurting Israel

From the Jerusalem Post:

"In addition to the problems and difficulties arising from the global economic crisis, 21 percent of [90] local
exporters

report that they are facing problems in selling Israeli goods because
of an anti-Israel boycott, mainly from the UK and Scandinavian
countries," said Yair Rotloi, chairman of the [Israel Manufacturers'] association's
foreign-trade committee.

    This is very good news. Let us hope that the boycott grows and its effects increase.

    Today, on the Global Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) Action Day, we are proud to announce that our Hang Up On Motorola campaign has grown by leaps and bounds – with almost 300 supporters organizing the campaign locally from Bellingham, WA to Boston, MA and West Palm Beach, FL to Warroad, MN. We plan to build on this momentum by organizing a public presence outside of Motorola's upcoming shareholder meeting and by announcing the launch of our Hang Up On Motorola video contest!
