Swedes call for boycott of Israeli goods An archbishop, an ambassador and the leader of an ex- communist party were among 73 Swedes calling for a boycott on Israeli goods from occupied Palestinian territories Saturday. "To buy and trade with Israeli goods from occupied territories is to actively support the illegal Israeli occupation," said the authors of an opinion article in newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The article was signed by Karl Gustav Hammar, archbishop of the Lutheran Church of Sweden; Carl Tham, Sweden's ambassador to Berlin; Left Party leader Gudrun Schyman and dozens of journalists, writers, economists and politicians. Although the boycott was aimed at sending a signal to the Israeli government, Schyman said such a campaign also could affect Palestinians. "Of course that is something to weigh in one's mind," she said. "But the most important thing is to put pressure on [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's government, and the economy is one tool we can use." The article also called for a UN peacekeeping force in the Middle East and urged the 15-member European Union to withdraw from a trade treaty with Israel. "Israel has consciously destroyed the Palestinian authority's infrastructure and undermined the autonomy on the West Bank," the authors said.
