Israeli fizzy drinks at centre of settlement boycott row (Israel & Palestine)

SodaStream - and Ms Johansson - find themselves caught up in...calls for a boycott of Israeli businesses that trade on the lands that Israel captured in the war of 1967. The fizzy drinks machine-maker has a factory in the industrial zone of Maale Adumim - a Jewish settlement...east of Jerusalem. Under most interpretations of international law...building homes and businesses on such territory is illegal...Ms Johansson was a brand ambassador for...Oxfam...as well as for SodaStream...[T]he actress decided to cut her links with Oxfam and stick with SodaStream...SodaStream's boss in Israel, Daniel Birnbaum...is a supporter of the two-state solution...[H]e says SodaStream gives jobs to hundreds of Palestinians who enjoy the same pay and benefits as the Jewish settlers who work alongside them. If the boycott movement gets its way, he argues, and no-one buys things made in the settlements, the factory will close and they will all lose their jobs..."We are giving livelihood to 500 Palestinians who feed 5,000 people and who will have no other jobs...Throwing them into unemployment is not what's going to bring peace to this area..."
