BDS: "It's okay when we do it, but if you do it to us, that's literally illegal" - Israel

Kind of like how Israel always talks about Iran building nuclear bombs illegally from nuclear energy material, which is exactly what Israel did 40 years ago!

You can only bully the dragon for so long, before it turns on you.

I was wondering if it was real, and apparently this headline is even referenced in a wikipedia article that's sourced so I guess it's real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Nazi_boycott_of_1933#Nazi_counter-boycott

Apparently the pressure was lessened with the Haavara Agreement in 1937. Not sure why this is in "WW2 Myths" sub when there was an actual large-scale boycott that the title is referencing. What is the myth part exactly?

The Haavara agreement was signed on August 1933; so 5 months after the Jews launched their boycott against Germany. Hitler was forced to negotiate with them, because the economy was still weak from the Great Depression.

What is the myth part exactly?

That the Jewish community was completely innocent of wrongdoing, and did nothing to antagonise the Nazis.

Thanks for clarifying. I honestly originally thought you were implying the newspaper headline itself was a myth, it was a bit unclear.
