UN High Commissioner announces 'blacklist' of Israeli companies
Arutz Sheva ^ | 26/10/17 | Tal Polon

In recent weeks, some 130 Israeli companies and another 60 international corporations have received letters from the current UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Jordan’s Prince Zeid bin Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein, warning them that they are being “blacklisted” for “acting contrary to international law and UN decisions."

According to Yediot Aharonot, the list in question includes well-known Israeli companies spanning different sectors, from food to services, pharmaceuticals to hi-tech. All of them, however, have one thing in common: They operate in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, or the Jordan Valley.

Yediot Aharonot reported that the companies are currently considering taking legal action against the High Commissioner, claiming that the blacklist is politically motivated, and pointing to other “conflict areas” around the world which did not merit a similar blacklist.

According to the report, the Foreign Ministry believes that the High Commissioner received information on the companies from Israeli NGOs that monitor business activity over the Green Line.

"UN High Commissioner for Human Rights..." What a joke the UN has become. They put in place the most horrendous civil rights abusers on that commission.

It's way past time to kick them out of the US and turn that building into condos.

Another High Commissioner for Human Rights, by the name of Hitler I think, black listed Jewish existence itself as a crime.

These violations of “international law” are doing more good for the causes of peace and the Palis’ welfare than the UN has done in its entire existence. The UN wants economic apartheid, which will have the effect of a man-made famine. What about all the water that’s been brought into Judah and Samaria for drinking and agricultural purposes, benefiting both Jew and Arab during the eight-year drought that ended only recently. Do we take that back?

There's no real political point to Arab bigotry and hatred -- as the phony hashemite regime will discover once the Assad dictatorship in Syria restores a firm enough grip on the fragment of territory it still controls, and starts to actively undermine Jordan as it so often has in the past.

The Royal Jordanian who rules a Kingdom and a Bedouin Iron fist tribal camel jockey Kingdom sits on a “HIGH commission telling Democratic, Liberal, Capitalist, Free market, open society, hi-tech,MODERN, savvy Israel that she is violating human rights??????

Ship these bastards out from New York to their fly- feces infested sh*t hole Kingdoms...

I prefer imploding it; drop It to the ground and use the rubble for land fill.

The UN needs to be scaled back. When terrorists lead the UN High Commission for Human Rights, it’s time to eliminate that organization and most other UN globalist organizations. Shrink the UN either to zero or to a coffee club where countries talk and nothing more.

So much for the peace treaty with Jordan. Israel should Send their people back there now - no more firebearance or patience with the scrum I in Amman.

Of course, a letter from the UnitedNazis is worth less than toilet paper

the High Commissioner received information on the companies from Israeli NGOs

So the UN couldn't pull that crap without the collaboration of those traitors.

And what’s our crime? Daring to build a business in Judah and Samaria, hire people and pay them more than the going wage in Arab-owned companies. Astounding.

I prefer a big space rock cratering the place. But they still would not get the message. (I will curse those that curse you).

The left wants to keep the people on the West Bank destitute, ignorant, and riled up. This way they have mascots for “The Cause”. I use the term mascot in the context that Thomas Sowell describes in his Visions of the Anointed. The Left only sees these people as cannon fodder

The U.N. would have embraced the Final Solution. It’s ironic that it created Israel.

We should stop paying dues to the UN. That used to be effective. Did we lose our backbone?
