The boycott appears to be having an effect. From the Alternative Information Center...
"21% of Israeli exporters have been directly affected by the boycott movement since the beginning of 2009. So reports today (29 March) The Marker, a Hebrew-language economic newspaper.
This number is based on a poll of 90 Israeli exporters in fields such as high tech, metals, construction materials, chemistry, textile and foods. The poll was conducted in January-February 2009 by the Israeli Union of Industrialists.
The AIC is working to receive a copy of this poll, and will translated and distribute relevant sections of it in service of the global boycott movement."
