I bought an Israel-made shoe shine brush awhile ago. They don't seem to export all that much, outside of candles and brushes.

I don't really get the point -- it seems to make about as much sense as not buying French wine over their government's refusal to support the Iraq war.

The majority of the Israeli public still supports a two-state solution. Why punish their already faltering economy?

I think I heard somewhere of a more targeted campaign to divest from companies involved in arming Israel. This at least seems like a more arguable position.

You've gotta be kidding me. Boycotting crappy canned hummous from the supermarket is really gonna make me feel like I'm changing the world.

You're gonna have to boycott IMing and a lot of tech products.
