Een Biertje Met Poetin

Een interessante analyse van de juridische status en de mogelijke gevolgen van de aanzwellende stroom van boycot-acties tegen Israëlische bedrijven:

"The actions brought against Israeli companies that operate beyond the 1949 Armistice Line are therefore legally groundless, even according to the disputable opinion that Israel’s presence beyond that line is illegal. However, were other European courts to vindicate anti-Israeli boycotters in the future, then hundreds of European companies would be exposed to lawsuits because of their activities and investments in countries that occupy territories or that control disputed ones. The list includes, among others, China (over Tibet), Russia (over Abkhazia), Turkey (over Cyprus), and Morocco (over Western Sahara).

Although BDS activists do not have a case, they are potentially exposing hundreds of European companies operating in the above countries to liability. I say bring it on and give Europe a taste of its own medicine." (lees hier)

Tja. Toen de schrijver van deze analyse achter zijn bureautje naar de juiste formuleringen zat te zoeken, zat onze Koning gezellig met Poetin bier (van een bekend Nederlands merk) te drinken .
