Paging BDS. By Walter Russell Mead.

Paging BDS. By Walter Russell Mead. Via Meadia, September 11, 2013.

Mead:

Don’t look now, but Egypt is causing widespread suffering among Gaza’s Palestinians:
As part of a crackdown against Sinai militants, Egypt’s military-led government destroyed at least 40 smuggling tunnels over the last two weeks, according to officials in the Gaza Strip.
 
The move has exacerbated shortages in Gaza of construction materials and cheap Egyptian-produced gasoline, which are the primary products delivered through the tunnels.
Arab oppression of Palestinians is now affecting 60 percent of Gaza trade. Clearly it’s time for the BDS movement to call for sanctions and boycott against the evil, Palestinian-oppressing Arabs of Egypt and their allies in Saudi Arabia.
 
Waiting, waiting, waiting . . .
