Boycotting Israel: the situation has changed and I have changed my mind too
The latest Israeli assault on Gaza is for one
scholar an occasion to rethink the fundamental arguments for and against
a boycott of the country.
Israel’s slaughter in Gaza must make us all pause and
ask whether we should rethink our stance on the Palestine conflict. The
killing is presented as a regrettable response to Hamas’s provocations,
an almost routine police action as the Israeli euphemism "mowing the
lawn" suggests. However the very fact that this is regarded as normal
means that we are dealing with a highly abnormal situation, which
demands a radical response.
This is not self-defence
