Boycott of Israel Spreads in European Civil Society Over Gaza War, Could Cost $5 Bn/Yr
The ill-considered and remarkably brutal Gaza war likely will give
further impetus to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement by
Western civil society to pressure Israel on its illegal actions toward
the Palestinians. A thoroughgoing such European set of sanctions could
cost Israel as much as $5 bn a year and more. Roughly a third of
Israeli trade is with Europe, and the EU is Israel’s largest single
trading partner.
