US trade unions including the American Postal Workers and Teamsters have attacked their British counterparts for planning to boycott Israel. In a strongly worded statement signed by over 20 representatives from trade unions, it said: “Rather than divestment from Israel, we believe that investment of time, energy and material aid is the best means to alleviate the ongoing suffering of Palestinians and Israelis.”
They further slammed plans for any academic boycott by stating: “Rather than limiting interactions with Israeli educators, academics and educational institutions, we see the importance of maximizing, rather than proscribing, the free flow of ideas and academic interaction between peoples, cultures, religions and countries.”
In a related story, the British Medical Journal is conducting a survey to see if Israel should be boycotted. Click HERE to vote.

We are all alone in this world and have no one to turn to besides Uvini Shebashumayim.
May this be the last Tishu B’Uv as a Tuunis may it forever be a Yom Tov.
Looking at the current poll, only 80% of Brits hate Jews. Thats a good wake up call!
I think the answer was 80%, since they only polled Jews.
