#1 Just one more piece of evidence on a growing pile that labor unions are the enemy of Western civilization.

#2 Swedes? In Sweden? A Labor Union in Sweden?

How far is that from Ashdod and Tel Aviv? I mean, in thousands of miles or the rough equivalent?

And Nicaragua? What does Israel import from Sweden? Besides Lamarstruesel and Picnelshnatz?
And does Israel export a lot to Sweden?

Nothing comes to my mind about Exports to Sweden. Maybe there is big money involved, who knows?
Widgets? Digits ? Contact the Swedish Ministry of Schanzgruppen and find out. Those Lutherans are a mean lot when they are morally aroused.

I always try to avoid any Lutherans in Boots.

#3 And does Israel export a lot to Sweden?

Too lazy to actually google, but I did buy some plastic food storage containers stamped Made In Israel in the dollar store. Kind of amusing: plastic stuff made from oil manufactured in a country with no oil of its own, shipped across the ocean and sold for a buck. Gawd, I love globalisation.

#4 I knew Sweden had a significant Muslim immigrant problem (Malvo?), but didn't know they actually worked and were in the dockworkers union.

#5 Though I guess 'work' and 'union' don't necessarily go together.

#6 I knew Sweden had a significant Muslim immigrant problem (Malvo?), but didn't know they actually worked and were in the dockworkers union.

Considering the political alignment of most (if not all) unions, this really shouldn't be a surprise.

#7 Lectures on Morality from the Swedes? The same country that couldn't decide whether or not to to be on the Nazi side during the war.

Neutrality. How convenient.

#8 Fine. From now until He$$ freezes over, or the Swedes change their minds, I won't buy anything imported from Sweden. That includes second-hand sales. So, no Volvos, no Saabs (including the flying version), n Lapland wool blankets (unless they're made in Finland and sold from there), and no Swedish cookies or meatballs. Two can play this game of political insanity as well as one. I doubt either the Swedish blockade of Israeli goods or my blockade of Swedish goods will result in any substantial change in politics in either country.

#9 Duh! Are israelis trying to smuggle in missiles, for use against civilians? Don't think so.

#10 Israel exports a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables to Europe, eg. Jaffa oranges, but I believed that's all airshipped. Not to mention computer thingies and programs, medicines, medical technology thingies, high fashion, off-the-rack fashion and, clearly, Dollar Store stuff. All of which could be shipped by boat instead of air freight.
