The BDS movement is reportedly pressuring or cooperating with the United Nations Human Rights Council, as the latter is preparing a boycott list to include all Israeli companies operating over the so-called Green Line. The boycott list is expected to be published in the coming months and those on the list will be viewed as taboo.
Yisrael Hayom reports the list is the initiative of BDS activist Richard Falk, formerly a UN special reporter on Palestinian human rights. Falk has been pushing for the list since holding that office some six years ago.

That the UN will do this is of course no surprise. I hope that the major Jewish organization are in turn organizing and planning an effort to list those companies and the products they sell so that we can patronize those companies.
It behooves all of us who care about Israel to support companies in Yehuda and Shomron even if they are a bit more expensive. Kol Yisrael arayvim ze lo-zeh.
Idiots. The main people affected by this are the Palestinians bc they work in these factories and companies. Morons…..
If they close the factories then no work for the locals.
Hopefully Trump will dismantle the UN once he gets into office.
