So I can go out of my way to buy them. Long live Israel.

Ideology must necessarily take precedence over economic practicalities every time, especially in a situation such as this one. Otherwise, there is no morality. The boycott must be enforced, and let the chips fall where they may.

Turkish products?

delineated the borders of Turkey? China? Kurdistan? Now what is their real propblem?

However, this is poetic justice - the "Palestinians" have coerced the international body into boycotting the very goods they produce! Perhaps it is time for the "Palestinians" to realize that their fate is in some part tied to the "Zionist Entity" that they seek to demonize?

If I understand you right (and I do), then it's all Israels fault, everything. You are no different than the left wing Jewish and Pro-Palestinian nut jobs here in the States. Get a life for crying out loud and quit blaming Israel. It is nutcases like you that encourage the barbarian Arabs to continue their 'holy war' on Israel. You are perpetuating the situation by demonizing Israel . Did you realize this? Besides, the Arabs laugh at you folks (left wingers) behind your backs and will kill you first (left wing nut jobs) since your the weakest link of their enemy the Jews, Israel and the West..

they will lose more than their jobs if Israel is allowed to profit off their land. More and more land will be taken from them until they have nothing. long live Palestine and South Africa, hope Ireland follow suit

the pa has to help create trade and jobs

http://buycottisrael.com/ In the meantime, Israeli products have found strong backing in the United States, Canada and a number of other countries. Unemployment among the ersatz "Palestinians" in the West Bank is 40%. About to get higher. While Israeli-made products and Israeli-grown produce remain as popular as ever -- and these include settlement-based goods. BDS has hurt the ersatz "Palestinians" far more than it has hurt Israel. Gotta love it!

Have a problem with British products or loyalty ??? ,...

AND I MEAN ANYTHING! No Israeli tech, weapons, etc...

When there was a move in the UK to boycott South Africa, P M Thatcher rightly pointed out that such a boycott would result in more unemployment for South Africans, and she therefore opposed the boycott. The anti-Israel boycotts will harm Pal workers.

This seems to be a worldwide problem. Countries who accept immigrants from Africa soon have political, mostly criminal, and parasitic economic issues. Send all African immigrant to SA, let them show the world how well they deal with these distractions and perhaps they will begin to understand that complicated peace--like their own civil war that destroyed a once trhiving country may take a few moments. In the meantime--given that they can't seem to stop their own from infecting each other with HIV we may want to quarantine the entire continent.

To those who would support the BDS movement: You need to learn about the PA's actions, attitudes and history, and after this learning, if there still is confusion, you must think hard and assimilate the fact that the "PLO" was formed in 1964. "Settlements" therefore becomes an invalid argument.

Does anyone look at relaity. In 196t, the IDF didn't fight Palestinians. They fought the armies of Egypt and Jordan (and Syria too) who had occupied, for the previous 19 years, the Arabs of Gaza (Egypt) and the West Bank and E. Jerusalem (Jordan). To their shock, the Arab armies lost the war and their Governments, in scant hours, abandoned the Palestinians they'd governed (and mistreated) for two decades. It's time to lay the blame for this madness where it belongs; with Arab instransigence and it's time for South Africa and Ireland and all the other places to think of the lives of these Palestinians, instead of their own doctinaire ideologies.

The do nothing goverment Won't do a thing to defend Israel and the historical snd legal rights of the Jewish People . Until the Israeli Goverment tetaliates hard against these goverments and the BDS groups this will continue. For god sake defend Israel and quit being a Lakey of the US Goverment and the EU.

If Palestinian workers are truly concerned, they should be the first ones to let the world know that the anti-Israeli attitude and boycotts are NOT good for them....that they much rather work for Israeli companies than in Gaza for Palestinians....Don't hold your breath though...I don't see that happening any time soon...

So that I make sure I do not buy them. Down with Israel! Long live Palestine.

The Palestinians hate Israel and want to destroy our country and the Jewish people and we give them jobs? This is total madness! We all know what happens to the dog that bites the hand that feeds. No disrespect to dogs! The action by the South African Government should show tthat South Africa is not the place for Jews. Time to get out or face the same fate as the Jews in Germany in the 1930's.

Looks like the Shylocks of the illegal settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank are demanding their pound of flesh from the the indigenous Palestinian people from whom they stole the land. Have they no shame or conscience, or have they forsaken their God in the name of greed and avarice.

Odd that SA will only recognize Israel's 1948 borders. So why do they recognize Palestine territory when the West bank was never ever recognized by the UN as belonging to Jordan? - a territory which was taken by force by the Arab Foreign Legion! And why is it considered "Palestinian" when Jews lived there from time immemorial - until their mass slaughter in Hebron long before the creation of the State of Israel? Evidently the HIV virus, so rampant in Tutu's country, made a mess of porridge of their brains.

from their jobs and their bread.Those fanatic leftists think with their behind instead of their heads if tehy have any at all.

The unprecedented, world-wide campaign to delegitimize the Jewish state and demonize the Nation begins to bear fruit. Billions of petro-dollars support a huge, glib and pervasive propaganda that puts even Nazism in the kindergarten. The ignorant majority of this world's population provides a fertile ground for the new, fatal Antisemitism, fueled by the power of the Internet. South Africa is but a small indication of the menacing future. What are we to do ?!

or are you an Arab firster sloganeer?

to stay . Care to enlighten us with evidence of slave conditions there? Do you know the meaning of slave ? Do you know where the borders are ? Funny the Arabs insisted there weren' t any. What else do you know better than say UNSCR 242. Have you written to SA yet on how they treat escaping Zimbabweans ? Or to Turkey on borders? Or is your real problem in life,Israel?Just like Archypocrit Tutu.

So much for the almighty God - thats bad enough for South Africa ! But there's more : Many like us will boycott South African products from now on and encourage others to do so ! We dont want to support those who curse Israel - we dont want to support Antisemites ! Poor South Africa - you will pay a heavy price - but if you want it, there you go !

SA govt shows clear lack of understanding of both economics (micro picture) and history (macro picture). To worsen matters, they obviously don't read their bibles (particularly re the consequences of not blessing/ cursing Israel). As a (non-jewish) sa voter, I distance myself completely from this action. SA govt should rather focus on cleaning up the messes in their backyard (and their are many) before venturing into situations they lack any capacity on.

weird that the south africans dont see fit to make into law where all products come from ...lets take the northern part of cyprus as an example...are the products of that area marked correctly? as an ex south african i am deely worried about the moving towards radical islam of the african continent and in particular south africa ..another worrying problem in south africa are the recurrent xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals ...so come on world ..instead of debating the problems in south africa ..the south african government shifts the focus and continues with the lie... that israel practices apartheid ..arabs are in the army,in the government in every sector of life in israel...i am talking about israeli arabs...so where exactly is the apartheid..it sounds weird but south africa is practicing apartheid against whites of the country and against foreigners..i want to see a free south africa ..how long will we wait to see that dream??
