Thank you for providing me with better information. The article I read said nothing like that. It appeared to be a specifically anti-Israel article, and it just seemed insane to me.

If what you are telling me is correct, it was insane, because someone made it up.

I'm actually not telling you anything :)

Just pointing out different links that show the whole picture

What you heard was "partial news" - true for the PART it was saying "Irish parliament to raise bill to boycott Israeli goods" - but it didn't mention about the fact that it was Israeli goods made in the West bank. I doubt many Israeli goods are made there.

I make it a point of reading The guardian and The Economist - the first is hard left and the second left of center -- in addition to right sources of information. The idea is to get balance. And especially, in the case of the guardian and huffpost - I know that if they stand for something, I should be opposed (and vice-versa) :)
