    Good old Ed Asner, you can't keep a good man own (outlived blacklister Reagan too). And Miriam Margolyes, sassy lady.

    Yes they haven't been very diplomatic in this "rebuke" considering that the boycotters are new to the game.

Israeli society as a whole is complicit and they should be made aware of it...The problem is in the formulation and the language more than in the intent..
