Thanks a lot for thinking rationally :-). It seems more and more people don't, especially in the media. At least in Europe.
We have the same problems with the workers unions in Norway. They also want to boycott Israel without any *real* (if any at all)understanding of the Israel - Arab conflict. And even without entering the discussion of the conflict (which would be very interesting), it is *far* from a workers union's business to go boycotting another coutnry, I would say. Especially on such wrongful and under any circumstances weak grounds.
