BDS Wins But Palestinians Lose
(Ynet News) Ben Dror Yemini - The UN Human Rights Council, which on Wednesday published a blacklist of companies operating in the West Bank, voted to accept 18 resolutions condemning Israel in 2019; in contrast, just seven resolutions were passed condemning the entire ills of the rest of the world. According to guidelines adopted by the EU in 2016, the anti-Israel obsession of the UNHRC is indeed a manifestation of anti-Semitism. The industrial areas of the West Bank employ close to 20,000 Palestinian workers. They are not taken advantage of, nor are they abused by a colonialist system. Many Palestinians hold senior positions and earn up to three times the salaries paid in the Palestinian Authority. Their income is a vital part of the Palestinian economy and its removal would have long term implications.
