OECD is right on many aspects, but the fast-growing BDS movement is having an increasing effect, which will soon be a series of telling body blows.

BDS has little to no effect on the Israeli economy. It's been proven time and again. As for the growth rate - let's put things into perspective - Israel's economy is still growing faster than almost the entire developed world, including the US. It is one of the fastest economic growth rates in the OECD. Israel is on the up and up.

The tone of the article is negative, although Israel does better - and is forecasted to do better - on all economic parameters compared to both Europe and the US: Growth, unemployment and depth! In addition, the OECD underestimated already in the past growth forecasts for Israel by 1.5%. And of course the OECD continue to believe that raiding taxes is good for deficit reduction, which is a public accountant's and not an economist's view of the world!

I read with interest your comment. We have heard of you bds here in South Africa so we started buying Israeli products everywhere we go. South Africans are united against racist Islam so take you bds and shove it cause you Muslims never bought Israeli products in the first place. the only thing you have caused is increased Israeli goods sales, at least here in SA.

in france we are helping more and more israeli products ,in pharmaceutics teva is greater than ever, thousands jews bought apartments in israel these last years ;we love israel not palis

listen polak, you polaks are genetically stupid people. not too much matter between the ears, to say the least. you are all suited for farming and milking cows in poland. because of the above accurate observation, your statement in your post is your wet dream, but it is actually not based on reality at all. stop with your constant idiotic theological replacement theory, you miserable polak catholic and leave the jews alone. by the way, the bds movement is a joke. a very big joke. not a single negative outcome or influence on the israeli economy. israel is booming economically and more so than europe and the usa. all the big high tech american companies have plants only in israel and nowhere else. and guess what, no polak is ever employed there. i wonder why! one has to look at someone like you to realize the reason for this. so, shoo! go away. you are really boring.
