Tony Blair's government tightened the screws on Israel's illegal West Bank settlements yesterday by warning British food and agricultural importers that they will now be liable for taxes on zero-rated goods which are not genuinely Israeli. Less than 10% of Israel's farms exports are said to emanate from the West Bank, but such goods are used to defray the heavy cost of subsidising the settlements from Palestinian attacks. For instance a lone settler occupying a hilltop in the West Bank illegally is being guarded by 6 troops to the tune of $27,000 a month! Your money is going to subsidise illegal settlements and ethnic cleansing if you buy Israeli goods! Boycott Israel! read full story / add a comment
