I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

I have been saying this for literally years - but I have no understanding of the laws or what would be required. What we really need is a international coalition of Jewish lawyers who will actively seek cases relating to BDS and offer to a) advise companies on how to deal with BDS from a legal perspective. b) encourage them to not give in to these tactics, and to do whatever is in their power under the law. c) offer to take up cases on behalf of any company that needs it without charging them.
Tesco has submitted, I am now boycotting them:

It's already been tried in England and it didn't work. An antisemitic judge acquitted the saboteurs because their anti-Israel acts were deemed justifiable in his eyes.
It might work in the US though. It's certainly worth a try anyway, and the British judge is having his decision appealed.
