Why does this make me laugh.?

It's more expensive, the one from Israel is probably of better quality, yet they choose the more expensive Spanish one.

What do you think about the Boycotting of Israeli Products.

Keep in mind I boycott many products myself. But I want to know what you think.

    It's probably just a new crate of Israeli avocados. Nobody takes the boycott seriously.

    But seeing as you're happily using a computer with a built in microchip made in Israel and seeing as you're enjoying the luxury of php on the internet, you have no problem benefiting from Israeli technology.

    Your only "moral issue" lies with buying fruit and vegetables it seems.

    I will finish my answer by adding how comically ineffective the BDS campaign has been. So many billions of Arab oil money have been injected into trying to demonize Israel as a new Apartheid South Africa that must be boycotted, yet not a scratch on the Israeli economy (not even a single economic sanction).

    The good honest moral people of the West have a sense of right and wrong and they aren't stupid.

    LOL-The actual leaders of Hamas send their own family members to Israel to get health care. Since even Hamas can't be bothered to boycott Israel, I sure as hell can't be bothered.

    Yes, to actually boycott any code written in Israel, you would have to swear off cell phones, the internet, etc. Israel is second only to the US in the number of patents registered annually, but yet the boycott Israel people are always picking on some Kibbutz growing a few lemons-which makes the whole thing laughable.. I'm going to go with an Israeli buycott myself.

    Absolutely am not going to boycott anything from Israel. Why? Because during my childhood in WW2 here in London you could not get an orange for love nor money. But as soon as it was all over, I remember my first ever orange from Jaffa in Israel. I think the Orange harvest is right now starting in Israel and then in Cyprus and on Westward to Spain etc.

    I will not forget that the Jews turned what was a scrub desert into the Biblical land of Milk and Honey.

    Their farmers and growers worked their butts off for us, and I will not forget.

    Give me a Jaffa Orange - sweat and beautiful.

    No' I am not Jewish - instead I am a Barbarian Savage living on a cloudy island somewhere in the outer darkness of civilization.

    Well..it did its part. But with Israeli products some of them were Palestinian products sold as Israeli products. I think now Muslim are busy to boycott products from France though..

    Ignore the trolls. Israelis are threatened by the boycott movement:

    They know very well that apartheid, colonization and other crimes that caused the boycott will have big impact on their economy.

    I love this.

    Yes it make me laugh because so many good, honest people are doing the right thing and boycotting tyranny.

    Boycotting Israel because they don't want to be wiped off the face of the earth and defend themselves from animals who kill their own people is absurd. I will never understand it. It would be like me punching you in the face and every time you tried to defend yourself I picked up a baby and held it in front of me. Then I put the baby down and punch you again. Can you imagine people then blaming you. Utter stupidity.
