I don't generally support economic boycotts as they usually just hurt the wrong people, but I'll make an exception in this case as I don't like being deceived.
Just to pass on something that was in my union (PCS) magazine this month. Apparently they have been told by Palestinian trade unionists that a lot of goods are now being exported from the West Bank via Israel stamped or otherwise marked, unsurprisingly, 'West Bank'. These goods, though, are far more likely to come from illegal Israeli settlements than Palestinian farms, so if you buy them to support the Palestinians you might be doing exactly the opposite.
