Call for an international boycott to Israel.

Omar Barghouti writes in Znet with the following meditation/request that I cannot but adhere to:

Going back to the question of whether anything should and could be done to stop Israel, the answer is a certain yes. South African apartheid crimes were challenged not only by the heroic struggle of the oppressed masses on the ground in South Africa; they were also fought by worldwide campaigns of boycott, divestment and sanctions against the regime, with all its complicit economic, academic, cultural, and athletic institutions. Similarly, international civil society can, and ought to, apply the same measures of non-violent justice to bring about Israel's compliance with international law and basic human rights. Even the threat of sanctions has proven effective enough in the past to halt Israel's repeated campaigns of death and devastation.

If all those images of tens of Palestinian children torn to pieces, all those recurrent episodes of wanton killing and destruction by an occupation army against a predominantly defenseless civilian population, go unpunished, the world may well witness a new Holocaust indeed.

I fully agree and I find a shame that: Israel is still member of the UN, that Israeli sport teams are allowed to participate in European and global competions, that Israel has trade agreements or even recognition by the European Union, that maybe some stuff I may be buying in the supermarket could be produced with Palestinian suffering.
