My Way News - Israel finance minister: Peace talk failure costly:
My Way News reports: "Israel's finance minister has warned that the country could be targeted by an economically costly boycott if peace talks with the Palestinians fail, signaling that concerns about growing international isolation have moved center stage in Israel's public discourse. [...] European officials have recently warned that Israel could face deepening economic isolation if it presses forward with the construction of Jewish settlements. A small but growing number of European businesses and pension funds have begun to drop investments or limit trade recently with Israeli firms involved in West Bank settlements."

My Way News - Scarlett Johansson, Oxfam part ways over politics:
My Way News reports: "Scarlett Johansson has parted ways with the international charity Oxfam because of a dispute over her work for SodaStream, a company operating in a West Bank settlement that features the Hollywood star in an ad that will air during the Super Bowl. [...] The Palestinian-led movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on Thursday welcomed the controversy surrounding Johansson, even though she decided to stay with SodaStream."

Comment:  Anti-Israel haters are starting to call for boycotts and divestment and one Hollywood star got caught in the crossfire. Good for her for standing by her Israel-based employer.
