Israeli Companies Dismiss BS Threats, "Made In Israel" Labels Thrive

BS exerts great efforts to promote boycott of Israeli products. If anyone needed another sign of the negligibility of these attempts, the Times of Israel reports that more and more Israeli companies are labeling their exported products 'Made In Israel". This is, needless to say, despite BSemites' hypocritical outcries over the issue:
The boycott, divest, and sanction movement, which seeks to cut economic ties with Israel, shows no sign of letting up. Yet concern over the possibility that their products will be boycotted has not stopped Israeli manufacturers and exporters from identifying with Israel. Quite the opposite, according to Economy Ministry figures; while in 2013, 760 Israeli manufacturers marked their products marketed abroad as “made in Israel,” by 2014 that number had grown to 1,024. 
It was just another indication that Israeli technology is welcome around the world, according to Ohad Cohen, who heads the Foreign Trade Administration in the Israeli Economy Ministry. “BDS campaigns are really only effective against identifiable consumer products, and Israel does export some of these, but most of our production is in intermediate goods – chemicals, machine parts, technology, etc. Israel’s main customers are the businesses that use these components, and for most companies, business is business, and they keep politics out of the picture.
Apparently, the world doesn't care much for fake and hyporitical protests. Israeli products are just too awesome!
