BDS. Failing since 1945

Throwback Thursday, and a reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

This article, from the Dec.4 1945 New York Times is a reminder that

1) The boycott of Jewish, er,  Zionist, goods has been going on for a very long time.
2.) In 1945, the Palestinians were Jewish .
3) When reminded that a boycott might cause local Arabs  to lose their jobs, organizers simply didn't care.
