Boycotts Driven By Hate, Not Settlements
(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - Israel must be prepared for boycotts no matter what happens in the negotiations because the driving force behind the support for these measures isn't principled disagreement with Israeli policies but rather the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe.
