Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has proven something I've noticed before. Conservatives are very good at buycotts, but very bad at boycotts.

Maybe almost setting off violence by deliberately spreading false rumors regarding a pending Jewish destruction of the Al-aqsa Mosque.  He's not in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Yemen.  He's right here, and he runs the nasty Electronic Intifada blog, and was active...

I have featured the vile (I'm being restrained here) anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement before, including their attempts to disrupt businesses owned by Israelis or doing business with Israel.  The BDS movement is an iteration of the Islamist-Leftist Anti-Israel Coalition.
