Scarlet Johansson’s television advertisement for the Israeli-owned company Sodastream, which operates a factory in Ma’ale Adumim – an Israeli settlement built on occupied Palestinian land – has put the actress under the spotlight.
The company, whose product turns tapwater into soda, has found itself caught up in a growing international movement to boycott Israel in protest at its treatment of Palestinians.
The European Union has stated that settlements are “illegal under international law, constitute an obstacle to peace and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible.”
But Sodastream claims its West Bank factory, which is built on one of the most controversial Israeli settlements, employs over 500 Palestinians and gives them equal benefits to Israeli workers.
Daniel Birnbaum, Sodastream CEO, said: “This is unique in that it’s located in the West Bank, in area C of the West Bank and we are able to employ people of different kinds, the Palestinians, side by side with Israeli Arabs and with Israeli Jews.”
“They work together here, we have about 1,200 to 1,300 people working in this facility in harmony and peace and we are very proud of being able to be here and to contribute in our way to the co-existence and hopefully to the peace in this region,” Birnbaum added.

Rather ironic since reading the Israeli Military Order 158 1967 . Palestinians are not even allowed to collect rainwater !!! Palestinian water cisterns often being destroyed by IDF . Read Amnesty International reports.
Neutral observer reading history.

but the West Bank is always been the West Bank of Jordan not the West Bank of Palestine so I don't think people are in tuned with history they're just saying what they hear

These settlements employ Palestinians. The sad truth is that when they get dismantled, these Palestinians will become jobless. You don’t believe corrupt Abu Mazen’s government will make jobs for them, do you? All these international freedom fighters want sincerely to do something good, but they always end up doing something bad since their position, unfortunately, is always pretty sketchy and not deep.

Did the government in the land (ie. Palestinian government) approve this factory ? Yes or No. it no then it should be removed.

They pay for benefits so the Palestinians could go to the hospital after they shoot them in the parking lot.

Well, soda stream moved their factory into mainland israel and hundreds of Palestinians lost their jobs while soda stream became uncontroversial. Good job BDS

That guy obviously doesn't want to mention how they stole the land they built the factory on and how they're probably treating the Palestinian employees badly

So cuz they build in Westbank and give 500 jobs it justifies everything else wrong with Israeli government. Sorry not enough

The Israeli regime is the leading state sponsor of terror It exports dangerous missiles fuels conflicts across the Middle East and supports terrorist proxies and militias such as Hezbollah Hamas the Taliban and al Qaeda

I think the Video clearly showed that Soda Stream was doing a lot of good. But when Sick, Hateful People are blinded by their hatred of Jews, ithye won't listen to the facts.
