Scotch- No More L'Chaims using the wrong Scotch.

Scotch: "Officers should also ensure we procure no new goods or produce from Israel until this boycott is formally lifted by WDC.' It explains in a separate press release that this resolution is not racist because 'Only books (or items) that were printed (or produced) in Israel and transported to the UK for distribution would be potentially boycotted.' Books by Israeli authors or items that are made by Israelis that are printed or made outside of Israel are permitted.

We are suggesting a boycott of Scotch from distillers located in West Dunbartonshire Council in Scotland at Kiddush, and public and private Simchas. Scotch made or produced elsewhere should be substituted.

 It's a little hard to see but if you squint your eyes a little you can definitely see the subliminal image of the "pre-1967 borders of Israel" being inscribed on the Glenlivet bottle by the distortion of the Glenlivet bottle's label by the Glenlivet glass. Do you see it? I think the outline is the old pre 1967 borders of the west bank. 



Please contact the distilleries located in West Dunbartonshire Council and inform them of our new policy and ask them to apply pressure to the Council to end participation in boycotting Israel."
