BDS Victory Sees 900 Palestinians Out Of A Job

Posted by: Deebo in Deebo August 26, 2014        

We would like to wish the folks of the BDS Movement a hearty congratulations on achieving what is definitely a well-deserved victory in the battle against the occupation.

Unfortunately I am referring to the occupation of the 900+ "West Bank" and "East" Jerusalem Palestinian men and women at the Sodastream factory in Ma'ale Adumim.

That's right. As of 2015, the Sodastream plastics and metals factory in Ma'ale Adumim will be closing its doors and moving to its much larger $40 million facilities near the town of Lahavim in the Negev. This leaves all the previously highly satisfiedPalestinian employees out of a job.

The new plant will still be practicing its equal opportunity hiring policies and will provide employment to the region's Bedouin and African refugee population but this time on uncontested Israeli soil (it's uncontested unless you're a terrorist).

Regardless I'm still willing to bet the haters will still claim they are abusing Bedouins or something. …. … what's that? They already have? (Damn you, Ali A-bomb-a-nation).

Don't get too excited, the decision to move is purely operational, but regardless. BDS. You wanted it? You got it. Unemployed Palestinians.
