My Way News - Orange's pullout from Israel gives lift to boycott movement
My Way News reports: "French telecom giant Orange SA's declaration that it wants to cut business ties with Israel has given a boost to the burgeoning anti-Israel boycott movement while also drawing a sharp rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. [...] Pro-Palestinian activists in France have been pushing for Orange to end the relationship over Partner's activities in Israeli settlements. The settlements, built on land the Palestinians want for a future state, are seen as illegitimate by the international community."

Comment: Just because someone wants something, doesn't create a new reality. The Palestinians can want land all they want, but until an agreement gives them the land, their want has no legal standing.
