Fear of a BDS planet

"It's getting hard to keep track of Israeli press mentions of the boycott, divestment & sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Their frequency & tenor bespeaks a growing alarm at the BDS threat — notably, amongst establishment journos. To whit:

    How do you bring a rogue Fascist state "Yes Fascist " to bear ?
    Armed resistance is futile . BDS is the answer  ,Israel's demise as a "Jewish only" state will come from within , and that's what Ali Abuneimeh emphasised on in his recent talk.BDS's articles in Israeli's press is now a regular occurrences , something the powerful military , the unlimited American support and AIPAC do not have an effective answer for.
    The best part is that BDS is relatively cheap.

    Could you good folks find a way of prominently posting the barcode ID for Israeli goods on your site(s)?  When I shop I try to do so conscientiously, but I am often unable to identify Israeli goods.

    Individual consumers can show their opposition to Israel's project by participating in a consumer boycott of Israeli goods and services. A consumer boycott works in two ways: firstly by generating bad publicity for the offender and secondly by applying economic pressure for change.
