Arab Boycott of Israel
by Hadassah

Have Arab boycotts of Israel succeeded? According to Ben Cohen at the Z Word Blog, Israel's economic success is proof that they have not. Arab boycotts began in the 1920's and continue until today.

"From its inception, then, the Arab League boycott was a form of economic warfare against the Jewish state. Its purpose was to suffocate and isolate Israel's economy. And, just like the Arab attempts to defeat Israel on the battlefield, the economic boycott turned out a spectacular failure."
