My week of buying only Israeli goods

Odd, that this excellent article is in an anti-Israel site, devoted to boycotting all things Israeli. Their reasons for publishing it in their site? Here is their logic:
We thought we would include this article because in a way its a vindication of our research, that even our enemies have come to rely on it. Hopefully it will encourage our friends in the pro-justice camp, be they Muslims or non-Muslims, to make use of our research in the fight for justice.
Alex Kasriel, Jewish Chronicle  "Trades union Unison recently passed a motion to boycott Israeli goods until the country withdraws to its 1967 borders. It also proposed that the UK ends trade agreements with Israel. Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre chief executive Lorna Fitzsimons argued: “The whole thrust of rebuilding Israel and a new state of Palestine is about economic engagement, economic reconstruction. The area needs investment…”
"If she is right, we should all be embracing Israeli produce. So, in a symbolic act of defiance, I have pledged to use only goods produced by the companies the boycotters would have us avoid."

Want to support Israel? This article can lead you to many Israeli products you may not have known about. You should know that Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News invests in Israeli products.
