Do we have to spell it out to you?? Ethics and the Middle East do not go together. Ethical treatment of women, labour or even animals........

Khaleejis will deal with Israel and or Jews when it suits their interests, I don't see them as ideologically attached to opposing Israel/Jews no matter what. Atlantis founder is Jewish and the Gulf States are aligned with Israel to kneecap Iran.

So you care about ethical reasons and yet would support the Qatari government's venture.

I know you and your educated brethren have your reasons for being offended by these 'faux-pas' but can you not see how ridiculous it looks to the majority of us?

If you insist….. Apart from some silly reasons, like selling women knickers with the word God in Arabic written on them , or selling flip-flips with similar writings, as they used to do in the past, my main reason is the man behind that company. He has dedicated a considerable amount of the company’s annual profit into supporting some rogue state in the world

serious question given that almost every company in the world deals with "the state that cannot be named", or is involved with the jewish lobby in the US?
really is it just a case of you live like a hermit or is it only worth boycotting if they are public about such things. where and how do you draw the line.
i can actually understand boycotting something for ethical or moral reasons, i really can but how do you practically implement it?
n.b as far as i can tell the knickers story was from 1978
