U.S. Embassy Accidentally Sends Settlement Wine as Jewish New Year Gift
...the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv sent gift baskets to a number of Israeli organisations, as it does every year. Among the recipients was Peace Now, a group opposed to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank....An embassy official confirmed the baskets had been sent out, saying they were purchased from a vendor who put together the contents, which were not checked before distribution. "This should in no way be interpreted as a change of our policy on settlements, which is long-standing and clear," the official said.
So...the policy is not to purchase products produced, grown and/or made in the Jewish communities?
Would that be called, er, boycotting "settlement goods"?
To answer "no", you'd have to claim that all that happened was that the Embassy's choice of wine pissed off Peace Now. But that doesn't sound like a State Department policy.
I guess they must be engaged in boycotting then (taking his advice?).
