BS Attempts to Harm Economy Fail (again)

A new research commissioned by the Israeli Parliament concludes that BS efforts to damage Israeli export to Europe has proven completely useless. The export to Europe not only did not decrease, but it has risen. Even in the places where BS activity is most profound there has been an increase in Israeli export. The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom reports:

According to Knesset commissioned study, as of 2014, the attempts, largely in Europe, to boycott products produced beyond the Green Line have failed and the overall exports to Europe have not only not suffered -- they have risen.

The boycott, divestment and sanctions movement has not harmed the Israeli economy, and in some cases Israel's exports have only grown in the regions in which the movement has the most traction, according to a recent report commissioned by the Knesset Finance Committee…

The study analyzed the economic effects of the BDS movement from 2000 to 2013. The study showed that throughout those years, despite the BDS movement, Israel's gross domestic product rose by 54 percent, its exports rose by 80 percent and in Europe, where the majority of the BDS efforts are, surged by 99 percent.
