Dundee Council plans to distribute posters throughout the city, calling on residents to refrain from buying Israeli goods

My attention has been drawn to an article reported in the Israeli press;
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4073097,00.html

Alleging that Dundee City Council has already decided to impose a boycott of Israel, the article claims:

"West Dunbartonshire was joined by the large Scottish city Dundee, which decided to issue a recommendation to boycott all goods produced in Israel.
Legal advisers instructed Dundee's mayor to refrain from legally enforcing the boycott in order to avoid future lawsuits. Instead, the municipality plans to distribute posters throughout the city, calling on some 150,000 residents to refrain from buying Israeli goods, and will also apply a special mark on Israeli products, in order to make them easily identifiable". 

If true, it would be an action breathtaking in its arrogance and a frightening concept reminiscent of the Nazi ethnic cleansing of Jews and the forced display of the yellow Star of David patch. Dundonians should be made aware of this.
