I thought I'd make a new thread rather than searching for the other thread that brought this up. I found out that the United Nations is going around making a list of businesses that operate within the West Bank and do business with Israel and is trying to blacklist any businesses, including American businesses, on said list and use international intimidation.

To protect our ally, our government has passed a bill saying that businesses cannot go along with such boycotts organized by foreign governments or international groups such as the UN.


In short, the UN and other anti-Semites started this mess and now the US is trying to strike back at it.


It was not at all like the scenario the person in the other thread presented.

Boycotts are now illegal in the US, US and Israel against the world.

So you want to make a tangent off this thread.

I'd thought that I'd seen it all when it comes to pro-Israeli policies, but I was wrong. SMH

In relation to this:

https://www.npr.org/2018/02/01/58235...li-settlements
UN lists 206 companies with business ties to Israeli settlements in West Bank | The Independent

Where Coca-Cola and Caterpillar are supposedly on the list.

The same Caterpillar that Hamas uses to bulldoze homes they consider illegal and archaeological sites?

BBC News - Hamas wrecks 'illegal' Gaza homes

And Coca-Cola is in the list because:

Even though this same Arab has the sole franchise and bottling plants in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Our Coca-Cola Palestinian Business: The Coca-Cola Company

So lets get this straight. These two companies are good when Arabs use them but are bad when Jews use them?
