Boycotting Peace: Why Divestment Is Turning Truth On Its Head

The campaign to urge investors to dump their stock in Israeli companies goes far beyond its hoped-for boycott of Israeli goods and services: The aim is the total collapse of Israel's economy. The divestment campaign, aided and abetted by religious groups and their political friends, is ostensibly about shedding light on alleged Israeli abuses of Palestinians in the disputed territories of the West Bank. In actual practice, divestment aids the cause of radicals the world over, who never fail to pile-on the Jewish state.
