The guidelines would enable the government itself to take action against organizations which boycott Israel, as well as empowering other bodies to take boycotters to court.

They would prevent any public body from promoting a boycott of country signed up to the World Trade Organization's government procedural agreement, the paper (The Times) reported. ...

Think of it. They were considering boycotting Israel but were fine with Iran.

Wow. While this is welcome news, it is more than a little surprising to me!

As long as it’s PUBLIC officials. I say let private individuals, such as overrated celebs like Elvis Costello, Russel Brand, Roger Watters, etc. spew their anti-Jewish bullcrap if for no other reason than to let the Jew-hating a**holes expose themselves.

I despise this on free speech and free association grounds.

Here's how to get around this:

"Attention all Union Employees: We are specifically asking you NOT TO BOYCOTT ______. If you get our drift. :) :) :)"

hopefully this will prove to be good news

but I have to remain cautious about it, given that the UK ruling elite has demonstrated it contains some very pro=Nazi sentiments

(wouldn’t it be nice if the British government suddenly started supporting Israel for a change!? And even better, if they also were to reverse their sell-out of the British people and homeland to the IslamoNazi invasion....and repatriate the Moslems ... ASAP... while its still possible )

Regrettably true, correct, right on.
Moslems are the only group I know of... that are taught from birth to hate Christians, Jews, and other ‘infidels’
AND
to infiltrate and terrorize and conquer and subjugate them all

Islam is a very aggressive, dangerous, power-mad international conspiracy
which has no possible role in any civilized society (particularly if it happens to be a largely-Christian country)

As good as the enforcement. The US has had a law barring participation in foreign boycotts for decades. The ever popular BDS movement is actually The Palestinian BDS Movement, founded ten years ago. Don't know their address, but as the name denotes, they're from Judea and/or Samaria. Foreign, from an American legal perspective, yet they operate here openly, with no lesser official than President Obama a supporter.

And as soon as they eradicate the “infidel” non-believers, they turn on one another (Sunni vs. Shi’a, etc).

God is Love. We (in all the Biblical faith traditions) are taught to Choose Life.
Allah is Hate. his followers are taught to Choose Death...
