[lbo-talk] FT on Israel boycott

[Doug Henwood]

Boycotts and resolutions - which Yoshie has elsewere denounced as  
"resolutionary socialism" - are meaningless as long as the U.S.  
subsidizes, arms, and protects Israel. As with petition-signing, it's  
more about making the supporter feel good about himself than actually  
accomplishing anything. No Brit academics would ever endorse a  
boycott of the U.S., would they? And while they're at it, why not  
boycott themselves, for joining the invasion of Iraq?
