Dubai Ports World And The Boycott Of Israel

Having written in favor of the Dubai Ports deal, I should note this story, stating that the company enforces the boycott against Israel. Obviously, I am less than pleased if this is true. And that makes my position as follows: If the United States government does not wish to deal with companies that enforce a boycott against Israel, such a position is understandable and laudable and should be enforced here. However, the port deal should not be disallowed on the basis that letting it go through would somehow violate national security.
