I am seeing a lot of "Boycott Israeli goods" pressure growing in Europe and Ireland.

I don't see the pressure growing, Lefties have been organising boycotts on Israeli goods ,inevitably unsuccesfully, as far back as I can remember. There was a time when they were regularly labelling Israeli products in Booths, useful for me, it saved me the time searching for them, I love Israeli Mejdool dates, if they're not from Israel I don't buy them.

This is just a personal point of view mon ami, not really political, more commercial in essence.

Trading with and talking to your political adversaries provides the opportunity to wrinkle out the "nasties". Blanking them, hiding them behind their partitioning wall achieves the square root of f*ck all. East Germany is the living proof of that.

Incidentally, if you read the German or Eire press at any time the Boycott Israel Movement is virulent and real. Me? I see no sense in it, I really don't.

Jeremy Corbyn advocates constructive narratives, he even invited representatives of Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRA into our Houses of Parliament to try and get geopolitical issues resolved. Trump did it and he gets nominated for a Nobel Peace prize, Corbyn did it and gets called a terrorist sympathiser. Odd!
