Perhaps now they will also do something about the hostility to Israel of the ICRC

You are correct, individuals can boycott any products they like. But the evidence is very clear that especially when it comes to groceries in UK most shoppers do not even look at country of origin labels, except maybe when it comes to Wines where consumers may have a strong preference for a particular region . The evidence for this can be found in surveys conducted every year on consumer habits by Grocer Magazine. I myself asked local shoppers at my nearest Tesco would they boycot goods from any country. I asked 15 shoppers at random, not one would boycot. Of course a tiny unscientific survey. But all the evidence is that outside a few Student Union and Trade Union and Church activists BDS is an irrelevant movement. Interesting though that Unions, SU and the Church are dying in terms of memberships

Israel exports up nearly 2% year on year. Huge new investments from new partners in Asia and Africa. Certainly not a sinking economy, growth rates that would be the envy of any in EU.
New air routes to India, China and Australia are signs of growing economy and confidence. Even Turkey Israel Trade is growing.

I have to laugh, the anti semitic, anti Israeli, anti Zionists, always seem to be paddling upstream without a paddle.
Ps. 2: 4 "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."
As the EU dissolves and the UN is under closer scrutiny, the light of truth is dawning upon those who live in ignorant, anti semitic darkness.
"He who curses you I shall curse
he who blesses you I will bless."
G-d bless his own chosen, Israel and G-d bless those who bless Israel, her land, her people.
