Ramallah, West Bank – The Palestinian premier is calling on his people to boycott Israeli products.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad told reporters Sunday the boycott is to protest Israel’s withholding of funds to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority.
Israel is holding $100 million in taxes it normally transfers to the Palestinians. It cut off the funds after the Palestinians won upgraded recognition at the United Nations last month. Israel says the move undermines negotiations.
The Palestinian Authority uses the money to pay salaries to its tens of thousands of civil servants and security forces. Israel says it is using the money to pay down debts owed to Israel.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the Palestinians should “concentrate efforts on how to build their own economy, not how to boycott someone else’s.”
If the so called “Palestinians” themselves boycotted Israeli goods they’d have no food or electricity.
I’m going to boycott “Palestinian” goods if there is anything that they produce besides suicide bombers.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the Palestinians should “concentrate efforts on how to build their own economy, not how to boycott someone else’s.”
How can they grow their own economy when goods are being held from going in/out of the territory and they are locked in their ghetto with wages not being paid?
You’re certainly entitled to your own opinion, what you aren’t entitled to, are your own set of facts.
I can write a book to counter the nonsense you spew but I don’t wish to waste my time!
Israel should complain about this to the UN.
When you starve to death, don’t complain!!
That is a great idea They should start with a boycott of electricity and gas.
let them go ahead and boycott israeli products, but if they do it they should do it all the way! there are so many things made by israeli’s that are part of their life that they won’t be able to give up! search youtube for let’s boycott israel, there are dozens of videos showing which everyday products can no longer be used!
