Uri Avnery thanks Europe for making government cooperation and contracts exclude Israeli institutions and businesses that have any connection to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine.

I did not realize before that this included European government purchases. That will put substantial pressure on Israeli business.

Avnery's article was evidently written before the announcement that Israel and Palestine have agreed to hold talks about having peace talks. Based on his past writings, I expect he will show that these talks about talks don't really change anything.
