“Scotland’s West Dunbartonshire Council drew itself some unwelcome attention when it announced it would be boycotting Israeli books, along with all other Israeli products, in response to alleged Israeli atrocities in Gaza, which, of course, have no parallel in the history of the human race, because if they did, wouldn’t the West Dunbartonshire Council be boycotting China, and a hundred other countries, not to mention Great Britain, which of course has caused the deaths of innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq? Though I suppose it would be difficult to boycott your own country’s products, because it would make it very difficult to eat.” – Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic
