One of the biggest news stories that accompanied the start of 2014 was Scarlett Johansson being named as the global ambassador of SodaStream, an Israeli company based out of the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, which develops home carbonation systems that allow users to convert tap water into sparkling water, in more than 100 flavors. […]
Now, it seems the supporters finally have their wish: SodaStream has announced, in a reported non-political move, that they are moving the factory from the West Bank to a land that indisputably belongs to Israel (unless you’re a member of Hamas or ISIS), near the town of Lahavim in the Negev.
This means that the Israeli company will no longer be “occupying” in the West Bank. Good job, BDS supporters.
Oh, it also means that 900 Palestinians—the people you claim you're trying to protect here—are now out of a job. …

And we shall see how Hamas takes care of these people. My guess, they will let them starve.
Palestinians also wanted the Gaza strip to be completely Judenfrei. Nothing made them more unhappy than when they actually got what they wanted.
Maybe they should move to Ireland for the tax benefits!
Great. Like we need any more there. Bad enough they built that Clongriffin Victory Mosque in north Dublin.
Stupid Hollyweirdos.
Mazel tov!
Just hire local Irish!
I read the article...I guess I missed it... what is BDS ?
For some reason, I can’t get a handle or a definitive feel for this story. When ever the Scarlette connection is brought up, one topic immediately seques onto various other topics, that one presumes are interrelated and equal in signifigance.
Boycott
Divest
Sanction
It’s a “destroy Israel” movement.
Stands for “Boycott, Divest, Sanction”; it’s a leftist movement targeting any Israeli businesses or, essentially, any activity that involves Israel beyond the 1967 borders. (Doesn’t stand for “Bush Derangement Syndrome”.)
So thanks to these “activists”, 900 Palestinians are about to lose their jobs.
Correct that it’s a movement designed to destroy Israel, since the 1967 borders are indefensible.
Glad I sold my soda stream stock.
Now they’ll be criticized for laying off 900 Palestinians.
Palestinians in Ireland? Their general attitude would be the same, I’m sure. “We like Ireland. We no like Irish. You go now, OK? Bye bye. You make good country, we take now. Yes, yes, goodbye”.
Bush Derangement Syndrome (all Bush’s fault).
Not in this context. Stands for “Boycott, Divest, Sanction” here.
I suppose it can stand for that as well... except for leftist limousine liberal loons in this country who seem to have it genetically encoded in themselves.
