Belgium’s foreign office has announced on Wednesday that it will label all products produced in West Bank Israeli settlements, considered illegal under international law.

"Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh has hailed Belgium's decision to label products made in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as a "move in the right direction."

"Attempts to whitewash "Israel" with beauty contests and similar events are rapidly multiplying, it is becoming increasingly difficult to turn a blind eye to their appalling and ever-mounting war crimes, notably during their assault on Gaza last May which saw the murder of over 230 Palestinians, including women and children.

Israeli violence does not end here, as administrative detention by the occupation forces alone has created a crisis of human rights violations, where prisoners have reached their 110th day of hunger strike in protest of the poor and abusive prisoner conditions."

I saw an interesting show, about the Soda stream factory in Palestine. It's owned by the Israelis, but one of few businesses providing work... So would you boycott or not? If they go broke, everyone's out of work.

That's a weakness of virtue signalling, always trying to think which id the most awesome stance to take.

Got nothing to do with it. A business opens a factory where wages are cheaper.

It's built on stolen land, how many have been torn from it?

Why should some illegal settler be allowed to make money from that?

"The BDS movement wants to end Israel’s occupation of territories captured in the 1967 war, end discrimination against Arab citizens of Israel and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to family properties lost in the war surrounding Israel’s creation in 1948. Israel says the Palestinian “right of return” would lead to a massive influx of refugees that would mean the end of the country as a Jewish state.

For the BDS movement, SodaStream’s pullout from the West Bank was part of a domino effect that would see more companies sever interests to spare their bottom line. “This is a clear-cut BDS victory against an odiously complicit Israeli company,” said Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the movement. He said it would continue to target SodaStream because its new factory is located in an area where Israel has in the past proposed to resettle Bedouin Arabs. The company employs more than 300 Bedouins."

The Palestinian people are under a brutal and illegal Israeli occupation and Israel is carrying out an apartheid system worse than that of South Africa, where the Palestinian people are being denied their land, identity, freedom and basic civil and human rights... It was wrong in South Africa, why is not wrong in Palestine?

Well, sure maybe they have it worse than I'm aware of. If you're going let me know
we can go on a field trip, but let's not forget to swing our buts in a disco in Tel Aviv while we're at it
dancing dancing

My stance is along the lines of: if them Palsti's can sort their own leadership much will be achieved.
Those Oslo agreements that never came to fruits was not bad for nether parties is my understanding.
How come no real progress was made. Not sure, maybe you know?

By the way, did not that 'suppressive regime' pull out of Gaza some years ago?
Is that place blooming now? Do you think it would have if the P-gov tomorrow went and knocked on the Israeli gov door and said... let's talk..

I like the look of the nightlife in Tel Aviv, and as I said before the women look very nice.. We would have to send Gal an invite as he seems to know a bit about the party scene there...

My take on the Oslo agreements is that, while the Zionists were talking peace they were still stealing land for illegal settlements, surely that is not the thing to be doing when trying to reach an agreement?

"Settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are regarded as illegal under international law and by much of the international community. Between 600,000 and 750,000 Israeli settlers live in more than 250 illegal settlements (130 official, 120 unofficial) in the occupied Palestinian territories."

If both party's are serious and want peace then it should be achievable...

How about this thought:
the 1mill P's who work in Israel go and move into those houses you mention built
at their hometurf, provided they no longer come to work or live in Israel again.
And after that the doors could slam closed for good!
Would that be so glorious?

I think Israelis should be able to live in the Palestinian areas,
just as the other way around.
I'm not sure if a two state solution is good, but if that is the way
then one folk group can not be banned from an area. Me personally
think 'israeli settlements' are good for business. Palestinian business.
No, it all comes down to Palestinian hostility, and no,
not from the average person on the street
(hence our fieldtrip to find out how it really is)
but rather the unwillingness from Palestinian authorities to give some,
while they get in return.
They seem not to move an inch.
