1. Then the FM should learn how. In
DT ,   TA Israel   (02.02.14)
the interim Israel should refuse all help to Syrian refugees in any shape or form until the EU hypocrites learn and appreciate it is a two way street
2. Levy Report
Nigel ,   Israel   (02.02.14)
Why doesn't the government impliment the Levy Report -- once for all show the world that Judea and Samaria belong to Israel - legally!
3. Maybe use the rest of Israel as an inbetween point
tr ,   Tel Aviv   (02.02.14)
In the same way that products bought in european firms started their production in places where child labour laws arent so "strict" and then somehow managed to get them down as european goods. If it starts off in Maale Adumim, an empty factory in tel aviv where the good is housed for oh lets say 15 minutes means its from israel. get it?
4. An example of antizionism
PaulfromParis ,   France   (02.02.14)
And why not to boycott Russia and China and Iran... BDS is directed against Israel because Israel is the state of the Jews.
5. The solution is integration with Asia
Europe is sinking   (02.02.14)
Israel should integrate into the Asian economy. Europe will continue to attack Israel every time there is a financial crisis in Europe. Anti-Semitism always rised in periods of financial crisis in Europe. As Europe influence in the world continue to sink, it will become less relevant for Israel and boycotts from Europe will not have any influence on Israel's growth and stability.
6. Maybe not but we CAN boycott "Palestine"!
Jim Yakamoto ,   My Country   (02.02.14)
Europe murdered six million Jews so a boycott of Israel is the "new thing" in Jew Hatred. So when we close ALL the factories in Judea and Samaria and their poor little Palestinians don't have jobs, the I hope the EU will help them put food on the table. As Jews of the world did with Germany after WWII, maybe World Jewry should consider not buying European products. Maybe Israeli importers should stop importing European goods, including cars. Maybe Palestinians working in Israel should be sent back to Palestine. Let us not forget the pre-1993 boycott of Israel. W survived that one and well survive this!
7. #5 - get real - Asia has no need for trade
Spyguy ,   seattle USA   (02.02.14)
with Israel because Asian companies can make everything that Israelis companies make for less cost. Chinese engineers are just as intelligent as Israeli engineers and there are more of them. Just as Asia has strip-mined the US markets, Asia will strip-mine Israel leaving Israel with nothing.
8. #5 Don't be so sure
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (02.02.14)
Asia can just as easily boycott Israel. I am certainly doing my part in educating some of them as to Israel's occupation, oppression, sadism and apartheid against the hapless Palestinians
9. Lieberman
Harold ,   USA   (02.02.14)
I never agreed with Lieberman's statements but this time he is right. Just imagine 75 percent of Israeli exports suddenly stops.
10. 4. BDS is because of Israel illegal occupation
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.02.14)
Nobody cares if Israel is home of 'Jews' or a home of fools provided Israel obeys the LAW. The POTUS legal mind will not allow Israel to continue shelter ing from sanctions behind the ONE US veto. US veto hinders the workings of the UN and allows Russia and China carte blanche to do the same with their veto power..
11. Just imagine ... that all the assumptions
Toby   (02.02.14)
of being illegal is just a load of lies or part lies. Are Israelis any worse to the palestinians than as the Syrians to their own people? How about to the Kurds? Please give me a break. Just reminding people that last week was the international day commerating the Holocaust and that is the time calling to boycott Israeli good. Maybe put uniformed guards in front of shops with signs not allowing to buy from them. Brings up interesting memories from recent History. Keep up the good work

are you saying your quran or your bible not telling the truth about the Holy land
13. #8 LOL
Vlad   (02.03.14)
Good luck "educating" a billion Chinese. Good luck "educating" India, which has the most pro-Israel public opinion in the world.
14. 6 Thought it was Hitler who murdered the Jews
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.03.14)
We all know now its all a Furphy, a myth. What with all the state of the art imaging equipment no 'Time Team' has been able to unearth the mass graves in Poland..
15. 12 Gave up fairly tales a long time ago
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.03.14)
Anyone with a neuron more than a gibbon knows neither the Quran the Bible or your Jewish folklore can be substituted for Int. Law
16. lydia Brisbane 15
(02.03.14)
International law not above the bible. International is biased, corrupt, and they look after their own pockets and interest.
17. 16 If you don't like the rules then quit
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.04.14)
Israel thinks it can join Int. Org. then proceed to flaunt the rules and regulations that governs all members.
