I've Been Thinking:
The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, has just passed a resolution to boycott all Israeli products.
The city council just passed the matter.
Emanuel Nachson, Israel's foreign ministry spokesman said, "A volcano of hate is currently exploding in Reykjavik’s city council building. There is no reason or justification for this move, besides hate itself, which is being heard in the form of calls for a boycott against Israel, the Jewish state. We hope that someone in Iceland will wake up and stop this blindness and one sidedness which is aimed against the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel."
Iceland does not import much from Israel, - so this boycott is not likely to have any significant economic impact.
It is the principle behind this action that is crucial. Having a European capital, any European capital, boycott Israel is very troubling. This must be stopped before it becomes trend setting.
