Jordan boycotting Israeli products too

Doron Paskin, head of research at Info-Prod Research, reports for Calcalist that the campaign is headed by Jordan's trade unions, whose leaders held a press conference on Monday to announce the boycott. Dr. Ahmed Armouti, chairman of the Trade Unions Organization, said that the campaign was conceived to mark 62 years since what Arabs call the Naqba [Catastrophe], otherwise known as Israel's independence.But many people want us to just keep signing pieces of paper and giving away land in return for rank hostility. What could go wrong?
In addition to the dissemination of lists of Israeli-made products so that simple Jordanians can know what not to buy, a mass burning will be held this Saturday. Fruits and vegetables from Israel will be collected from the market in Jordan's capital Amman and will be publicly burnt. The event is being organized by a body called the Committee to Make War on Normalization [with Israel].
Two of the largest traders in the Amman market have already announced their intention to stop buying from Israel, Paskin reports.
It was explained at the press conference that the boycott violates no Jordanian laws.
Jordan and Israel have officially been at peace since they signed a peace treaty in 1994. Prior to that, Jordan warred with Israel in 1948, launched many fedayeen (terrorist) attacks in the following years, and then attacked Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967 – when it lost Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria to Israel.
Oh and a little advice to the Jordanians: If you're going to boycott Israel, at least do it right.
Let's go to the videotape and I'll show you how:
Heh.

Please!!
Jordan is a "good friend of the US and an important ally in the war on terror."
Diplomacy is for sissy's and appeasers. Diplomacy emboldens the wrong people. And..Obama did not invent it either.
This is why Jordan can boycott Israeli products and in their media and mosques defame the Jewish state.
Carl, thanks for the video. I sent an email to Gibbs so he can show it to his Boss!
