The more the Israeli leftist servants $ of the foreign pro Arab countries of Europe howl the more the Jews and friends of Israel in the world will support the Israeli economy and its products . So keep howling it only strengths !
6. Boycotts of Israel illegal in America
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (02.17.14)
so rave on. Microsoft is now in Israel does that mean that Microsoft will be boycotted NO! This is but one international company who rely's on Israel's greatest assets, her brains. If a boycott means isolation GOOD! All this anti Israel interference is nuts. ANNEXAll the Land and REPATRIATE ALL THE pals TO JORDAN.
7. If Israel tries to use the US law
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.17.14)
they will find it is unconstitutional because the US government can NOT restrict people's right of free expression and using economic tools are very constitutional - ask the southern state how badly they lost when they tried to stop civil rights boycotts. As for transnational companies, they can and will easily pull out of Israel if it effects their bottom line. The transnationals can easily find equally good human brains all over the world or even move the Israeli brains to other parts of the globe (for example using H1B visas to move them to the USA)
