FT’ blast on settlements will strike fear at Hasbara Central (if not among liberal Zionists and ‘glitzy blondes’
"An editorial in this weekend’s Financial Times, the salmon-colored tribune of London’s City, the financial district, is certainly striking terror into Hasbara Central in Israel– if not at the State Department in Washington. In forceful language that looks like it could have been lifted from a Palestine solidarity publication, the FT says that Scarlett Johansson has “accidentally turned a searchlight on an important issue–whether it is right or lawful to do business with companies that operate in illegal Israel settlements on Palestinian land…”"
"We cannot describe the issue any more clearly than the anonymous FT leader-writer has already done:
[quoteMs Johansson says the company [SodaStream] is “building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine”. That is naive…][/quote]
"And at a time when Peace Now, J Street, the Forward, Rabbi Andy Bachman, and other liberal Zionists in the US have only praise for Johansson and her settlement of choice, Ma’ale Adumim, the sprawling development on a hill east of Jerusalem that blocks Palestinian access to the city, the FT doesn’t suffer fools:
"The FT then refers to the EU policy of restricting funds so they don’t go to settlements."
And the article points out, what FT is addressing is not a boycott, it is the application of the law to Israel, with European pension funds already starting to pull their investments in Israeli banks with branches in the settlements.
The FT ends its editorial:
'FT' blast on settlement will strike fear in Israel (if not among liberal Zionists and 'glitzy blonde')
And I am reading in the comments to this article , in Sundays edition alone of the New York Times there are three articles about Israel.
This is MSM USA.
[1] Omar Barghouti’s : “Why the Boycott Movement Scares Israel”
[2] Hirsh Goodman: How Israel is losing the propaganda war
[3] Avi Schlaim: “Israel Needs to Learn Some Manners
I have to let this sink in, we are not speaking just about BDS anymore, we are speaking of applying international law to Israel.
The EU is doing it.
