130 Israeli Companies, 60 International Corporations on UN “Blacklist” – Itamar Eichner
130 Israeli companies and 60 international corporations operating in Israel have received warning letters from UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid bin Ra’ad al-Hussein cautioning them of their impending inclusion in a “blacklist” of companies active in the territories. No such lists pertaining to other regions of conflict – such as the Crimean Peninsula and Western Sahara – have been created.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been working to promote legislation in Congress determining that any company divesting its business dealings from Israel will be considered to have “capitulated” to the Arab boycott, and would thus be in violation of American law. (Ynet News)
