Noa Sattath, leader of the Civil Rights Association and one of the organizers of the protests against the judicial reforms, called in an interview for an economic boycott of Israel until the government retracted the planned reforms.
Asked during a lecture which was organized by the New Israel Foundation and Americans for Peace Now if she intended a strike as a political tool, rather than part of a labor dispute, Sattath answers that ‘I think it could be very effective, if we could make it happen.”

“I think that anybody that is contributing to Israel’s economy should stop that contribution until the wind changes,” Sattath added.
“I think that the center of Israeli society that is making the economy work – and the economy is the basis for everything that this government does – is vastly oppose to these measures and would be deeply impacted by them.”
Protestors against the judicial reforms have been calling recently for economic sanctions among the Israeli public, in particular a mass strike combined with a multi-city demonstration, to put economic pressure on the government ton rescind the reforms. Foreign credit rating agencies and and financial publications have noted that Israel’s credit rating may drop and investors may take money out of Israel should the reforms pass.
