That way, they're still free to be hypocrites but they have to pay for the privilege. If UK universities for instance want to boycott Israeli academics, feel free, or not. But if they want to use any of the work product of those institutions it will cost them. Or they can licence Arab technology such as it is. This is much harder to do with consumer grade goods and services like medicine, phones and computers but, at the least Israel needs to highlight this and play the boycotters game with the boycotters rules and advertise quite publicly all the benefits they SHOULD boycott as a result of it having origins with Israel. In fact I would demand it. I would send Israeli emissaries to the BDS community exhorting them to boycott and abandon all these 'tainted' things. And I would heavily publicize it. I am sure Emma Thompson can get a smartphone with 100% Arab technology inside. And then she can hold it up as a shining example.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-17915375415747129842012-04-04T00:32:31.887+10:002012-04-04T00:32:31.887+10:00I'd be less polite than Eli Hertz.
