Port P.S.

This is as succinct as you can get, so I'll let CNSNews.com say it:

"Dubai Ports Company Boycotts Israel(CNSNews.com) - The parent company of Dubai Ports World participates in the Arab boycott against Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported on Tuesday. US law bars firms from cooperating with attempts by Arab governments to boycott Israel."

Hmmmm. You can't participate in boycotting Israel and deal with U.S. firms.... I guess the loop hole here is our US govenment excludes itself.

Here is the link to today's Jerusalem Post article on this.

Interesting quote from that Post article:

"Yes, of course the boycott is still in place and is still enforced," Muhammad Rashid a-Din, a staff member of the Dubai Customs Department's Office for the Boycott of Israel, told the Post in a telephone interview.
"If a product contained even some components that were made in Israel, and you wanted to import it to Dubai, it would be a problem," he said. [end quote]

You think that's enough... I'm not finished, this man and "his fellow staff members are paid employees of the Dubai Customs Department, which is a division of the PCZC, the same Dubai government-owned entity that runs Dubai Ports World." Ouch.

OK... Bush staff, get your house in order here before *you* overspeak. I'm for ya, not against ya, but let's use some common sense.
