By Micah Halpern
Saturday January 23, 2016 I've Been Thinking: Three important items need to be brought into perspective this weekend. A- The Slovenian supermarket that was boycotting Israeli fruits has rescinded that boycott and placed a new order for Israeli produce. They government officially responded saying that there was never a boycott. The truth is that boycotts are illegal under EU law so Slovenia changed their policy. This is an important defeat for BDS. But they will continue to try to get more European countries to boycott Israel. B- The Israeli army gave a briefing to the communities that live along the Gaza Strip. Community leaders were told that Hamas is ready for a new conflict. The threat is from rockets and from tunnels - Hamas has rebuilt the tunnels and restocked the rockets. C- China's President Xi addressed the Arab League on Friday saying that the Chinese support a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. He continued by saying that China: "firmly supports the Middle East peace process, the establishment of a state of Palestine with full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital." President Xi also committed to supporting a solar energy project for the Palestinians and pledged $7.6 million to that end. These are all essential news items, they all require careful monitoring.
