Israel's trade with Muslim countries (2) - Michael Horesh Business Coach and Mentor

My previous comments about a boycott of Israel and how that would affect trade with Muslim neighbours drew a fair amount of offline correspondence.

One person recalled the attempt of Egypt and Iraq to boycott M&S some years back. Most of his Arab acquaintances removed the labels before they went home. And then they discovered they didn’t need to anyway.

Today, I received some Israeli stats on the level of trade with countries in the Middle East.

Change (T$)	1-9.2008 (T$)	1-9.2007 (T$)	Country
13,738	26,890	13,153	Gulf States
260	319	59	Algeria
718	1,863	1,145	Tunisia
-732	172	904	Iraq
67,300	228,200	160,900	Jordan
5,100	17,200	12,100	Morocco
2,500	104,700	102,200	Egypt
88,884	379,344	290,461	Total

3,100	11,500	8,400	Indonesia
-30,600	25,100	55,700	Malaysia

Meanwhile, European Parliamentarians, through the “Free Gaza” campaign are increasing their demands for a boycott of Israel. If Israel’s neighbours do not feel the same way about a trade boycott, what do these protesters really hate? Time for the truth to out!
