The European Union has decided to label goods coming from the West Bank and we tend to wring our hands in despair.

As a community, we should direct our purchasing away from the 16 countries that Israel is taking some diplomatic measures against. These include the UK, France, Spain, Denmark, Ireland, Croatia, Malta, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Slovenia, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium and Finland.
This is just one small step that we can take to show our unhappiness and display our purchasing power.
