Boycott mainly hurts Palestinians, Dutch critics say

Original: ‘Boycot treft vooral Palestijnen’ Het doel van de actie is het in het nauw brengen van # Netanyahu en het ondermijnen va

Commentators in the Netherlands are arguing that a boycott campaign aimed at pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mainly harms Palestinians rather than the Israeli leadership. The stated aim of the action is to corner Netanyahu and undermine his position ahead of Israel's elections on 27 October. One widely shared observation is that a broad majority inside Israel agrees with that goal, prompting criticism of the Dutch role in the campaign.

Why now: The 27 October Israeli elections have revived debate over whether boycotts pressure Netanyahu or hurt ordinary Palestinians.
