Palestinian activists have hailed a decision by SodaStream International, an Israeli-owned soft drink company, to close its controversial factory in a settlement in the occupied West Bank, calling the decision a victory for the campaign for boycott, disinvestment and sanctions.

What a brilliant quote. Does SodaStream's motivation matter to the 500 Palestinians who have lost work and the many that won't be employed in the future due to the loss of this and other economic activity?
About as brilliant as the geniuses in Ferguson torching their own stores.
BDS
boycott, disinvestment and sanctions
or
Bush Derangement Syndrome ??
As for the 500 Jordanians that will lose their jobs. Boo Hoo.
Those who started and promote BDS don’t care a bit about the well-being of Arabs. They are Marxist and anarchist power grabbers, who, including Obama, want to create chaos and anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism. Those who jump on their bandwagon can definitely be characterized as shallow, “useful idiots” (to use Joseph Stalin’s very own term for them). I saw a video that was made about Soda Stream and many Arab and Jewish employees interviewed. The all loved working there, go excellent wages, and the plant has been a model of peace and prosperity - but that’s not what the BDS wants - they want to keep the Arabs down as pawns in their Marxist chess game.
Jew hatred trumps all for the left.
This fits into the agenda of the BDS types. They want to keep their pet “victim group” poor. It holds down those people so they can be cannon fodder for “the cause”, “the struggle”, or whatever they want to call it. They are no different from the racial poverty pimps that Booker T Washington called out long ago. They do not want the patient to get well.
Which is crazy. But what are we to do about it? Maybe Jews need to stop voting the Dummycrats in? Half my Church needs to stop voting for them as well.
The SodaStream factory employs many Palestinians and pays them many times what they earn in Palestinian-controlled areas. I imagine much of their work force will move with them, if they are allowed to.

I’m sure the MSM will be full of stories about the hardships these laid off workers are suffering.
