An intensified battle against American and other companies which have Jews in their management is high on the agenda of the conference of the Arab boycott offices scheduled to open in Damascus next week, it was learned here today.
The agenda, which was announced in Damascus, proposed a campaign against such firms under the slogan, “Twelve million Jewish customers or eighty million Arab customers?” Also on the agenda will be a “counter offensive against the anti-boycott campaign” and the allegation that “the Jewish Congress allocated 10,000,000 pounds sterling” for the anti-boycott drive.
The conference also will consider an Egyptian proposal to declare a boycott against all countries which give loans and grants to, or permit fund-raising for, Israel. Means of nullifying the recently-announced Israel-Ghana trade and credit agreement and a proposal to add 25 additional international firms on the official boycott list for trading with Israel also will be discussed, it was reported.
