So call me Captain Boycott! Im finding no problems whatsoever with this BDS (boycott, divest and sanctions) strategy against Israel and its multinational corporate supporters. So I have no doubt I can hold out until Israel concedes freedom and justice for Palestinians, or until the moneymen end their support of Zionist aggression and land grabs and the boycott is lifted from their goods. Indeed, I am probably a veteran of the BDS strategy already. My last McDonalds meal was in 1995 at the King and Victoria outlet in Kitchener, Ont., Canada; the last Coca Cola I drank was sometime around 2005 and possibly even longer ago than that; I find Starbucks coffee sour and I hate the over-familiarity of its service (whats my first name indeed!); I also dont drink Nescafé coffee or purchase other Nestlé products because of the baby formula business; I certainly didnt plan on buying a Volvo car, truck or bus anytime soon or ever; my phone is a cheapie Alcatel (£14.95 from the 02 shop in Omagh), not a Motorola; and I will hardly admit to buying Estée Lauder cosmetic products (I dont). OK, my iMac and iPad probably have Intel processors and my printers a HP, but Ill probably not be replacing them until the BDS drive expires. And Ill admit to favouring the cotton comfort of M&S underwear in the past, but my latest under-attire purchases are less expensive alternatives from Dunnes Stores and I am pleased with the result. So thats it, I have done the boycott, divestment and sanctions bit and I now await the result. Up to you Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו!
