The 89th Arab League meeting to boycott Jews (sorry, "Zionists")

Middle East Monitor reports:

Communication officers of the regional offices for boycotting Israel are to hold their 89th meeting in the Arab League headquarters on Tuesday, alamatonline.net has reported.

The Arab League official with responsibility for the occupied Palestinian territories, and the general commissioner of the head boycotting office, said on Monday that the officers meeting in the conference would spend three days discussing ways to activate an Arab boycott of Israel. Mohamed Sbeeh indicated that a number of issues are related to different Arab-owned companies which violate the boycott rules, and ways to impose sanctions on them. A number of US companies with branches in Israel will also be considered for sanctions. He indicated that they would discuss the modification of the general boycott principles in order to reactivate them.
The 89th meeting? Three days? for "communication officers of the regional offices for boycotting Israel"?

When the Arab boycott started in 1946, of course, they didn't say it was against Israel or Zionists. They said it was against Jews.

This committee has been meeting for decades. The question is whether Saudi Arabia sent a representative - because they had to abandon the boycott in order to join the World Trade Organization in 2005.

The people at the actual Arab League meeting this week didn't really give a damn about Israel or Palestinian Arabs. They spent their time talking about IS terrorists in Libya.
