The Arab Boycott of Jews Before Israel Existed

Jonathan Danilowitz says there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to Arab and Western efforts to undermine the Jewish state:

In 1945, long before Israel even existed, the Arab League declared an official boycott of “Jewish products and manufactured goods” in an effort to strangle the Jewish population in the then British Mandate Palestine. http://www.enotes.com/topic/Arab_League_boycott_of_Israel  In fact, the first official boycott of Jews and Zionists by the Arabs began way back in 1922, when there were no “green lines”, no occupied territories, no settlements, no Israel. All there was was bubbling Arab racist anti-Semitism.

 

Nothing new under the sun.

Well, perhaps there is. incipient, latent anti-Semitism has since become popular for leftist radicals who love to explain: “… it’s got nothing to do with Jews or Judaism. We’re just supporting the Arabs. Some of our best friends are Jews. If only Israel blah blah blah …” Yeah, sure.
