Enough. It's time for a boycott of Israel

This was the headline in Saturday's Guardian Comment

"Since 2006 Israel has been steadily escalating its criminality: expanding settlements, launching an outrageous war against Lebanon, and imposing collective punishment on Gaza through the brutal blockade. Despite this escalation, Israel has not faced punitive measures - quite the opposite. The weapons and $3bn in annual aid the US sends Israel are only the beginning. Throughout this key period, Israel has enjoyed a dramatic improvement in its diplomatic, cultural and trade relations with a variety of other allies."

Boycotting all Isreali products must be a priority for thinking people.

Encouraging our Government to be less pro Israel is the next.

We are heading in the direction of antagonising the Arab world, which will lead to even greater concerns about our safety and protection from terrorists. It's then a short step to a police state filled with fear, where everything we do is monitored and everyone is suspicious of their neighbour.
