One of the Obama administration’s most ardent hopes is that President Obama’s anti-Semitic United Nations resolution, which declares Jerusalem non-Jewish territory, provides the groundwork for a vast international economic boycott of Israel. The Obama administration has been clearing that ground for years. In February 2014, Secretary of State John Kerry ripped the Israeli settlements, stating, “Today’s status quo, absolutely to a certainty, I promise you 100 percent, cannot be maintained. It is not sustainable. It is illusionary. You see for Israel there is an increasing delegitimization campaign that has been building up. People are very sensitive to it, there is talk of boycott and other kinds of things. Are we all going to be better with all of that?”
So, would an economic boycott of Israel actually work?
