Boycotts

Boycotts
: USA Today‘s blog sums up efforts to boycott the U.S. and Britain (with no mention of the boycotts in reverse from the U.S. and Britain).

At the same time, an essay in Die Zeit (in German) argues (if I’m translating correctly) that boycotts are wrong, even unChristian, for they do not attack and hurt the “guilty.” Boycotts cause economic collateral damage.

And besides, Die Zeit argues, a boycott from America will hurt Germany more than a boycott from Germany will hurt America.
